No. 55, " londscape and Cattle—Afternoon," by Mr.
H. Brittan Willis. This is a nicely-painted picture, espe-
cially the landscape part, in which much taste is displayed.
No. 56. " Moses' return from the Fair," by Mr. D.
Maclise, R.A. This is the well-known picture of the
gross of green spectacles displayed by the simple-minded
son of the Vicar of Wakefield on his return from the fair.
It is perhaps the gem of all the smaller pictures by this
talented artist, whose merits are too well known to need
any comment. _ _
