- A Roman Lady
- A Russian Bride
- A Saving Grace
“Louise, I really cannot permit you to read novels on Sunday.” “But, Grandmamma, this novel is all right; it tells about a girl who was engaged to three Episcopal clergymen, all at once.” - A Scout looking out ready to help others
- A Sea Horse and it's young
- A Sea-fight in Tudor Times
Which particular battle this picture is supposed to represent cannot be stated, since old Holinshed uses it over and over again for almost every naval engagement to which he makes reference right back as far as the Conquest. That cannon were not then in existence does not appear to trouble him at all. But we may take it as fairly representative of an action at sea in the times in which the historian lived and wrote. - A Shoulder-Jacket
- A Simple Buttoned Gown
- A South Sea Islander
- A Spaniard in the Sixteenth Century
- A Spanish Galeass of the Sixteenth Century

- A tragic moment for Smyth
A tragic moment for Smyth (who married for a home) Mrs. S. (who has the money) objects to the size of his tailor’s bill. - A Turkish Pirate Ship of 1579
Observe the sharp ram, the tower-like forecastle, and the curiously perched cabin aft. Also the tail-like ornaments at the stern, possibly reminiscent of the sterns of the old "Dragon-ships" and "Long Serpents". The big and somewhat triangular openings are probably gun-ports, but no guns are visible. - A Victorian Young Lady
- A view of Petticoat Lane
A view of Petticoat Lane Immediately connected with the trade of the central mart for old clothes are the adjoining streets of Petticoat-lane, and those of the not very distant Rosemary-lane. In these localities is a second-hand garment-seller at almost every step, but the whole stock of these traders, decent, frowsy, half-rotten, or smart and good habiliments, has first passed through the channel of the Exchange. The men who sell these goods have all bought them at the Exchange—the exceptions being insignificant—so that this street-sale is but an extension of the trade of the central mart, with the addition that the wares have been made ready for use. - A Viking Double-prowed 'Long Serpent' or 'Dragon-ship'
Observe the well-supported outer stem, the Dragon Head, the embroidered sail decorated with a variation of the "Swastika" design, which was much used by the Vikings on arms and ornaments; the vane at the masthead, the "shield-row" protecting the rowers, and the steersman guiding the ship by means of her "steer-board". - A Viper (or Adder) has this marking on his head and neck
- A War-galley in the Days of King Alfred
The Dragon or other figure-head has been unshipped, possibly because the galley is going into port. - A Westphalian Peasant
- A Whale Hunt
- A widow
Little Sister: A widow? What’s a widow? Big Sister: A lady what’s had a husband and is goin’ to have another. - A wife who is not a good cook
- A Wodehouse
- A4
- Abraham Cowley
The staircase is a very solid structure, with ornamental balusters, leading toward the small study in which the poet wrote,—a little back room, about five feet wide, looking upon the garden. It may be distinguished in our back view of the house, by a figure placed at the window. Cowley ended his life in this house at the early age of forty-nine. - Acadian Flycatchers

Keep out of politics. - Advice to the mentally feeble
By all means marry for a home. - Advice to the mentally feeble
Go back to the stable as soon as possible - Advice to the mentally feeble
Never by any chance stay at home. - Afghan costumes
Afghan costumes - Alain René Le Sage
In a little garden summer-house behind a Paris street, Le Sage sat at his desk, dipped through Spanish books, and wrote with a light heart of the people that he knew, disguised in foreign clothes, and moving in places he had never seen. - Albanian Peasants
- Alexandre Dumas
There is a much less terrible pleasure to be had from the works of Dumas. Behind all Hugo's books is the solemnity, behind Dumas' the joy of living, the joie de vivre—the French phrase, although identical, seems better to express it. - Alexandria
- Alfred in the Neat-Herds hut
Alfred in the Neat-Herds hut - All sorts of pups

- An Ancient Cameo-setting of the time of Charles V
- An Anglo-Saxon Widow
- An Arab Bakery
The wandering Arabs subsist almost entirely upon bread, wild herbs, and milk. It is rather strange that they should eat so much bread, because they never remain sufficiently long in one place to sow wheat and reap the harvest from it. They are compelled to buy all their corn from the people who live in towns, and have cultivated fields. When these townsmen and villagers have gathered in their harvests, the Arabs of the desert draw near their habitations, and send messengers to buy up corn for the tribe, and perhaps also to sell the 'flocks' of wool which they have shorn from their sheep. - An artistic dress, 1897
- An Australian farm near the Blue Mountains
