Dr. Wylde, 1854. Portrait of British conductor, composer, teacher and music critic Henry Wylde, founder of The New Philharmonic Society. 'Dr. Wylde is not only the founder of the Society, but director of the music and a conductor. His merits as a composer are of a high order. His enthusiastic admiration of Milton created the desire and ambition to compose music to "Paradise Lost" - a daring and difficult task, to which, however, he brought the intrepidity of genius as well as its inspirations, a rich poetic fancy, and "the passion of youth for its darling dream"'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
