Title:	Winter Revels
Artist:	Smallfield, Frederick (London, 1829 - 1915)
Date:	1861-62
Medium:	Original Etching
Publisher:	Day & Son, London
Edition:	Passages from Modern English Poets Illustrated by the Junior Etching Club, 1862
Note:	Frederick Smallfield: A fine English painter, watercolourist and etcher, Frederick Smallfield was most highly regarded for his figure subjects. He studied art in London at the Royal Academy Schools and exhibited his art throughout Britain for most of the last half of the nineteenth century. As well, his art was included in the prestigious annual exhibitions of the Royal Academy from 1849 to 1886. Although Frederick Smallfield was never a formal member of the famous Pre-Raphaelite movement, many scholars have linked stylistic concerns of his art to that source, particularly the more mystic elements. This is apparent in the early etching, Winter Revels, where the image of the girl clearly transports us beyond the commonplace and sentimental. She is (as is the case with all great Pre-Raphaelite art) purely captivating.
	Frederick Smallfield is also of importance for being one of the first Victorian era painters to seriously turn to the art of etching. He was a founding member of the Junior Etching Club (1857-1864), an institution that greatly contributed to the revival of Etching in England. Other members included the British artists, Holman Hunt, Richard Redgrave and Whistler. The Junior Etching Club often published their members' etchings and many (including Whistler) contributed to their most important portfolio, Passages from Modern English Poets, printed in parts during the years 1861 and 1862 and published by Day & Son in London. Smallfield's Winter Revels hails from this source and was meant to illustrate a poem by Thomas Hood of the same title. Frederick Smallfield chose to depict a line describing Christmas festivities -- "'Tis mirth fresh crowned with mistletoe!" This then is a beautiful early English etching with a Christmas scene.
	Frederick Smallfield's original etching, Winter Revels was created for the 1862 publication, Passages from Modern English Poets Illustrated by the Junior Etching Club. Following the etching was a poem by Thomas Hood entitled, Winter Revels. The closing lines of the poem are provided below: "But hark! those shouts! that sudden din Of little hearts that laugh within. Oh! take him where the youngsters play, And he wi8ll grow as young as they! They come! they come! each blue-eyed sport, The twelfth-night King and all his court -- 'Tis mirth fresh crowned with mistletoe! Music with her merry fiddler, Joy "on light fantastic toe," Wit with all his jests and riddles, Singing and dancing as they go; And Love, young Love, among the rest, A welcome -- nor unbidden guest." * Thomas Hood
	Day & Son, London: Some of the most ambitious and accomplished printmaking projects of the Victorian era were launched by the publishers, Day & Son. The firm began in the mid 1820's under the title of 'Day & Hague' and assumed its more familiar name 'Day & Son, London' in 1845. Frederick Smallfield's original etching, "Winter Revels" was published by 'Day & Son, London' between 1861-62. Throughout their early years they printed and published works of art dealing with a wide range of subjects, such as, hunting scenes, genre depictions, landscape scenes and topographical views.
