Sketch of a picture in the Royal Academy Exhibition: An Episcopal Visitation, H. S. Marks R.A., 1881. Engraving of a painting. 'One page of this Number of our Journal is occupied by Sketches of the designs and composition of a few of the Pictures in the present Exhibition of the Royal Academy... A Bishop at the Zoological Society's Gardens, in calm contemplation of the Egyptian pelicans, is introduced by the title of "An Episcopal Visitation;" and is a fair example of that quaint and pregnant humour, rich in suggestiveness of partial or apparent congruity, but of qualities and characteristics of an essential oppositeness, which Mr. H. S. Marks has the power to express'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
