"The Dudley Gallery. The Third Winter Exhibition." The Art-Journal, 1 December 1869: 369.

... [T]he visitor will at once recognize valuable contributions from G. F. Watts, R.A.; G. D. Leslie, A.R.A.; W. F. Yeames, A.R.A.; S. Solomon, A. B. Donaldson, and F. Talfourd. ... Yet does this winter exhibition usually make itself remarkable for a class of works seldom seen in equal force elsewhere. In the present season, for example, there are pictures by Simeon Solomon, ... which it is needful everyone should see who would understand the existing and more abnormal phases of our English school. Mr. Solomon exhibits a characteristic specimen of his latest manner, ‘The Bride, the Bridegroom, and Friend of the Bridegroom’ — eminently mystic and unintelligible, yet almost Eastern in the harmony of its colouring, and essentially classic in its type of beauty. The figures, however, want strength, and the sentiment is tinctured by affectation.
