“Our Note Book.” The Illustrated London News 35 (July 12, 1884): 26. "The June number of “Artists at Home” contains portraits and views of the studios of G. F. Watts, R.A., W. H. Thornycroft, A.R.A., W. F. Yeames, R. A., and J. MacWhirter, A.R.A.  Considering that this is a purely artistic work, it is surprising that the artists represented have not exercised a more beneficial control over the arrangement and production of the pictures. . . ."

“The Reader.” The Graphic, issue 767, August 9, 1884. "Part IV of “Artists at Home” (S. Low and Co.), containing the portraits of Messrs. Watts, Thorneycroft [sic ], Yeames, and MacWhirter is now published. The illustrations are fully equal both in interest and quality to its three predecessors."
