Initials (1877)

Medium: oil

Exhibited: Dudley Gallery, 1877

The Scotsman, 24 November 1877:

Mr Eyre Crowe’s ‘Initials’ – a girl inscribing her name upon a tree – is somewhat vulgar and disappointing.

Aberdeen Weekly Journal, 8 December 1877

[Dudley Gallery]. … the “Hodge” of Eyre Crowe (127) is perhaps a true, but certainly a vulgar and uninteresting transcript from life; “Initials” (208) is equally vulgar with “Hodge.”
