"Over the Brook" - painted by G. Chester, from the Exhibition of the Society of British Artists, 1857. Engraving of a paintitng. 'The lines by Mr. Mark Lemon, which accompany the title of the painting in the Catalogue are so appropriate and suggestive that we cannot do better than quote them: "Over the brook, Mary; over the brook! There are no other eyes near but mine to look. Thy autumn's brown burthen I'll carry for thee, And a smile and a word shall be payment to me". We scarcely know why, but the incident of crossing a brook is an extremely favourite subject with both poets and artists...The buxom lassie in our picture is certainly in all respects an excellent specimen of country comeliness, and rustic health and strength'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
