A view of one half of the South Court at the South Kensington Museum, filled with the packed cases of the 1862 loan exhibition. This wood engraving appeared in the
Illustrated London News
on 6 December 1862, towards the end of the show.

John Charles Robinson in middle age, probably around the time he left the South Kensington Museum. The oil painting is by J. J. Napier and is in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery.

This photograph of a small corner of Newton Manor shows part of Robinson's extensive and varied collection in the domestic setting.

Charlotte Schreiber, around the time of her second marriage in 1855. The drawing is by George Frederic Watts, one of the most influential and renowned Victorian portrait painters.

Charles Schreiber possibly sat for this portrait on his election as MP for Cheltenham in 1865, ten years after his marriage to Charlotte. It is also by Watts.

The gourd-shaped bottle that tormented the Schreibers during 1873 and 1874.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti's collection in the sitting room of 16 Cheyne Walk in 1882. Rossetti is reading to the poet and critic Theodore Watts-Dunton.
