"In the Marshes - Morning" - painted by G. A. Williams - from the Exhibition of the National Institution, 1856. 'Mr. Williams has found the subject of the careful picture which we this week engrave in the fen country of England - in the neighbourhood, we suspect, of what was once Whittlesea Mere. He is, like Rembrandt and Constable, fond of a mill; and a very picturesque one he has given us under the appropriate name of "In the Marshes." There is a lovely air of solitude in this characteristic picture: much is told and much is indicated. The spectator steps from before the picture conscious that it has come from no ordinary hand'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
