"Rosalind and Celia" ("As You Like It", by Miss Edwards in the Exhibition of the Society of British Artists, 1862. Engraving of a painting...by a lady previously unknown to fame...Poor Rosalind! So fair and feminine...she should never have assumed the male attire...she makes...a very a sorry page. Her sprightly, witty companion may well banter her upon her effeminacy...The pretty runaways should, at all events, change their costumes...We think that the almost querulous plaints of the tenderhearted lovelorn maiden, her yearning for some casual word of comfort from her kind and faithful though mischievous companion, is expressed with extraordinary felicity, not only in the expression of Rosalind's face, but in her pretty lackadaisical attitude, the wobegone inclination of the head, and the action of both hands. Miss Edwards has avoided a vulgar reading...by making the assumption of the page's dress not too obvious and complete. The contrast of the dark-eyed mercurial Celia is equally happy; her protecting, supporting, and admonishing gestures (seen again in the action of the hands more particularly), her charmingly arch expression, and her air of superior wisdom and firmness as she counsels and rallies her weaker companion all in a breath'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862
