May 23, 2014. Engraved by John Rogers after George Bryant Campion, pub. 1830. This is a steel-line engraving by John Rogers (c.1800-1882) from an original study by the English watercolour landscape painter George Bryant Campion (1795-1870) – who incidentally was Drawing Master at the Military Academy in nearby Woolwich. I think the engraving was originally produced for the. Series of Kent Views published in London from 1828 to 1831, although it may have also appeared in T. Allen’s. The Country of Kent.

June 11, 2016. The Illustrated Police News report of the murder of Emily Coombes. As Kate Summerscale makes clear in her book. It may have been a shorthand reference by the illustrator but darker still, if the model ship had actually been there in the room, is it possible the mother had used its symbolic significance to taunt her sons and to threaten them with the kind of maritime future they would be doomed to suffer if they failed to do her bidding? Drawn by Light…back to the Thames. February 5, 2015.
