The Athenaeum 1869 May 08. [8th May 1869] We may next turn to the works of Mr. Boyce (age 42). First of these is, On the Skirts of Smithfield, looking West, Midsummer, 1867 (117), a strange, but very original subject, being a picture of the rubbishheaps of the place while under transformation, and the backs of miserable houses of red brick of the deepest hues, and shabby, tumble-down hoardings of wood blanched in the sun; a temporary wreck of the old in course of changing for the new. Huge lying posters in red, green, white and yellow, each coarser and falser than its neighbour, overlook the dust-heaps of two centuries. Calmly in the glare of smoky summer sunlight rises the dingy stone church tower of Wren's building, — a pathetic picture for those who can read, and for artists who can enjoy, its exquisite tones and admirable atmospheric grading; a puzzle for those who judge by the common tests of opinion. For the comfort of several of the latter who strongly resented the introduction of two gambolling cats in a similar picture by this painter — as if London cats were not frequent in the wastes of the City — we add, that there are no cats to puzzle them here.
