What you’re looking at

This page presents sketches labeled "Our Art-Academy Exhibition," where an artist has made quick notes on principal pictures. The cartoons appear to be satirical takes on seasonal or thematic artwork, including: - "Among the Daisies" and "By the Sea Waves" (pastoral scenes) - "On-a-Nimble" (a figure with a boat) - "A Refresher" (someone at what appears to be a bar) - "Rain Time" (a figure in rain) - "The Latest 'Just Out'" (unclear reference) - "Mild Winter in Jersey" (snowy scene) - "Calves in a Stream," "Inspiration," and "Spring" (final panels) The satire likely mocks pretentious or overly-sentimental art academy submissions, reducing them to crude, humorous sketches. The titles suggest mock-serious treatment of mundane or absurd subjects typical of art salon exhibitions of the era.
