Editorial comment for this plate:

Our Illustration.—In presenting one of Mr. H. P. Robinson’s pictures, “Noontime,” kindly given to Miss Barnes by him during her stay in England, it is needless to say the elements of an attractive and interesting composition are apparent, and should be studied with care by every amateur aspiring to do picturesque work. Mr. Robinson is so well known that it is not necessary to enter into the details of how he came to produce the picture. It speaks for itself, and will, we hope, interest others to follow his example.
