"From Our Own Correspondent" - painted by W. Hemsley, 1856. Engraving of a painting in the Exhibition at the British Institution, ...suggested by the Crimean news, and by the far-famed "Chelsea Pensioners" of Wilkie, now at Apsley House. An old Peninsular veteran is seen eagerly listening (in spite of his deafness) to the thrilling news which is read to him of the battles of Inkerman and Balaclava. It is by Mr. W. Hemsley, and exhibits in very happy union the contrasts of age and youth. The veteran is evidently thinking, at the same time, of other battles in which he had his part, and seems secretly, with all his admiration for what he hears, to prefer some of his own hairbreadth escapes to those thrilling ones which he is hearing read to him. The accessories throughout are painstakingly rendered'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856

From Our Own Correspondent,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating painting by William Hemsley, dates back to 1856, created under the inspiration of Harvey Orrin Smith. This evocative work of art was first displayed at the British Institution Exhibition, sparking great interest among the public. The painting's inception can be traced back to the Crimean news and the renowned "Chelsea Pensioners," famously depicted by Wilkie in Apsley House. The heartwarming scene portrays an elderly Peninsular War veteran, deeply engrossed in the news of the recent battles of Inkerman and Balaclava, despite his deafness. The veteran's expression conveys a sense of nostalgia, as he recalls his own experiences on the battlefield. His thoughts are divided between the thrilling tales he is hearing and the memories of his own perilous escapes. Hemsley's masterful brushstrokes bring together the contrasts of age and youth in a harmonious blend. The veteran's weathered face, lined with the passage of time, stands in stark contrast to the youthful energy of the reader, who passionately delivers the news. The painting's background is meticulously rendered, filled with intricate details that add depth and authenticity to the scene. This exquisite work of art, as described in the "Illustrated London News" of 1856, captures the essence of human emotion, the passage of time, and the power of storytelling. It serves as a poignant reminder of the experiences and sacrifices of those who have served in war, and the enduring impact of the tales they carry with them.
