References note

"Part 10 of Messrs. W. B. Jobson and Co.'s "Art portfolio of national art treasures" consists of excellent reproductions of pictures having to do with the Jacobite Rebellion of '45'. We have the portrait of Prince Charles Edward after Tocque's contemporary work, engraved by Wille. Then there is W. Skeoch Cumming's fine picture of the memorable scene when the Stuart standared was raised by the Marquis of Tullibardine at the foot of Glenfinnan, Argyllshire. Duncan's picture of the Prince entering Edinburgh after his victory at Prestonpans is as interesting in its way as the same artist's fine representation of the defeated and hunted Prince concealed in a cave and tended by Flora Macdonald. It is marvellous how the publishers can produce these pictures so artistically and yet offer them at so low a price."--The Sydney Morning Herald, Saturday 14 April 1900, page 4
