Eastward Ho! August 1857, from "Illustrated London News". Artist: After Henry Nelson O'Neil (British, St. Petersburg, Russia 1817-1880 London). Dimensions: Sheet: 11 15/16 × 9 1/2 in. (30.4 × 24.2 cm). Engraver: William Luson Thomas (British, London 1830-1900 Chertsey, Surrey). Date: May 22, 1858.Published in the "Illustrated London News," this wood engraving shows British soldiers bidding farewell to family, sweethearts and friends as their ship departs for Calcutta--headed towards the Indian "Mutiny" (or Indian First War of Independence, 1857-1859). Thomas's wood engraving reproduces an 1858 painting (now at Elton Hall) that propelled O'Neil to public prominence--after being shown at the Royal Academy in 1858, the work toured Britain and was seen by over half a million people. The interwoven bodies and linked hands suggest a range of relationships and anticipate the pending separation as visitors move down the steep steps. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
