"The Storm at Sea", by J. Morgan, in Wallis's Collection at the French Gallery, 1861. Engraving of a painting. ''The "Winter Exhibition" of cabinet pictures by British artists, which for some years maintained a certain position before the public, has lately fallen into comparative neglect, and would probably have been discontinued but for an alliance formed with it by Mr. H. Wallis, the extensive picture-dealer, who this year adds a new collection of works painted expressly for himself. What pertain to the "Winter Exhibition" proper and what to Mr. Willis in the joint collection now opened to public view is not specified, but the exhibition as a whole is a very creditable and very pleasing one, comprising many well-selected efforts from the easels of some of our leading masters, besides others of great promise from those of the rising young men of the day'. From "Illustrated London News", 1861.
