Royal Society of Painters in Water Colours: "A Plea for an Absent One" - J. Parker, 1890. Engraving of a painting. 'We referred last week to the claims of several works to especial notice, and we are glad, therefore, to bring some of the more important more distinctly before our readers...Mr. Parker's "Plea for an Absent One" tells its own story. We know the old adage "Les absens ont toujours tort!" which is applicable to all sorts and conditions of men and women. Happy is it when some older and wiser head will recall the good qualities of the absent one, and urge that silence may not necessarily mean neglect, and that promises made by true hearts do not grow fainter with time or distance! Mr. Parker's group is natural, and the sentiment is simple and unaffected: suggestive of a little cloud which may pass over any farmstead in our own country'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
