The Return of Torello - James Clarke Hook, R.A., 1895. 'Illustrative of Boccaccio's story of Signor Torello, an Italian gentleman, who, having in his journeyings been captured by the Turks and detained a long time from his home, returns at last to find his fair young wife about to be again wedded. He sits as a guest at the marriage feat, unrecognised by his wife, till having startled her by a winecup which he has handed to her with a ring which he had placed in it, he gravely uncovers his head and reveals himself to the astonished bride'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
