Rivalry, from "Illustrated Times" — William Cave Thomas|Edmond Morin|Henry Linton

This medieval genre subject shows a young man restrained from attacking a mature rival who woos two ladies with flowers and music. Linton’s engraving reproduces a painting that William Cave Thomas exhibited at the Manchester Institution in 1857, and the print appeared in the "Illustrated Times" accompanied by a long critical review.
