CHARLES COOPER HENDERSON I9 



" The Temple of Fancy " was engraved and 

 published by Fullers ; other pictures particularly 

 deserving of notice are, " Going to the Fight," 

 "Travelling in France," "The Old Six-horse 

 Diligence." 



Mr. George Henderson, of 3, Bloomsbury Place, 

 possesses three interesting specimens of his father's 

 later works. One, described in the artist's hand- 

 writing on the back as " A London Particular," i8 

 inches by ii^- inches, painted about the year 1873, 

 is a difficult subject very cleverly treated. It repre- 

 sents market-gardeners, men and women, making 

 their way through a dense fog on the road near 

 Brentford. Two of the figures, carrying large 

 baskets over their heads and wearing men's coats 

 and gaiters, might be mistaken for men. This was, 

 however, the working dress of the women of the 

 period. Mr. Henderson says, " I often remember 

 meeting gangs of these people when driving with 

 my father years ago." A water-colour of " Horses 

 in a Stable," 8|- inches by 12 inches, shows the 

 painter's mastery of equine anatomy ; and " Pair of 

 Horses in a Mail Phaeton," 12 inches by 17 inches 

 wide, is full of spirit ; a man on horseback rides 

 by the carriage, but only the pair in harness are 

 finished, the phaeton, its occupant and the rider 

 with his horse being sketched in. 



It would seem that necessity alone kept Hender-
