Holloway collection.

oil on canvas
60 x 83"
painted 1878

The painting made Holl's reputation when it was exhibted at the RA in the same year and he was subsequently elected an ARA. Holl visited Newgate and the Governor became a friend. The section painted was called the Cage where prisoners on trial were allowed at certain times to see their friends. Holl wrote it moved him to see prisoners of all sorts awaiting the results of their trials.

Holl himself died of heart disease at the early age of 43.
In the same year as this painting, 1878, he began painting portraits which mt with a lot of success. He painted many famous people such as the Price of Wales, Gladstone etc. His range of subjects is impressive.

A restrike etching

When an etching has been made, prints are made from the metal block. Very often these are not numbered. However, for collectors' items there is often a fixed number, say 200, and the individual copies are numbered, very often in the form 1/200, and so forth. Sometimes the block is then destroyed and cannot be used again.
Sometimes, however, the block is kept and used again. If this happens there should be a clear indication that the 'print run' is that of a re-use or to use the technical term, a re-strike. One common way of doing this is to use Roman numerals for the re-strike.

John Frederick Lewis - The Street and Mosque of the Ghoreeyah, Cairo

Watercolour and oil on paper, 29 3/4 x 40 1/2 inches. Forbes Magazine Collection

Visions of the harem
Of all the British artists who went east in the 19th century, for Ahdaf Soueif, only John Frederick Lewis looked beyond colonial stereotypes to capture its true spirit. Cairo gave him the colours, light and architecture to become a great painter.
