Ancient statues in the British Museum, from the Farnese Palace at Rome, 1864. The pieces of sculpture which were lately bought for the British Museum from the collection in the Farnese Palace at Rome, belonging to the ex-King of Naples, are now at the Museum, and are thought to be of some importance. One of them is the celebrated Farnese Mercury, nearly identical in pose and scale with the Mercury in the Belvedere of the Vatican, and greatly resembling the celebrated statue in the gallery at Lansdowne House...[1st century Roman copy of a Greek sculpture]. The figure in the centre of our Engraving is a Faun, with the Infant Bacchus in his hand...[2nd century Roman copy after a Helenistic original. On the right is] an Apollo, a naked figure, of very fine proportions, but a good deal restored [Dionysus, Roman, 2nd century, restored as Apollo by Carlo Albacini in the 18th century]. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
