Friends and Foes:
Fred Stephens, 1852

""'Come, now! Move on, please!' This was heard repeatedly during the season of 1852 in the Royal Academy's West Room, the summer home of Ophelia and A Huguenot. Before them, Fred Stephens reported, 'Crowds stood all day. People lingered for hours, went away, and returned again and again.""

Millais, A Biography, G. H. Fleming, 1998, London, p.86.
