β€œThe one hundred and sixteenth [116th] exhibition of the Royal Academy of Arts, at Burlington House, in London, contained eighteen hundred and fifty-six [1856] works of art in painting in oils and water-colors, engraving, etching, architectural designs and sculpture. There are nine rooms devoted to oil-paintings, of which the principal is the fine long Gallery III, where the banquets and other meetings are held, and where the president addresses the students at the annual giving of prizes.” (p.1)
