| | However, Sanctuary (1877), judging from the criticisms of newspaper and magazine writers, was considered at the time to be his best work, fully justifying his election as an Associate of the Royal Academy the previous year. | | | Crowe may not have felt so strongly, as he continued to produce the occasional painting set in the past throughout the remainder of his life; however, his success depended on producing works which buyers would want to purchase, and in the 1870s he threw himself into contemporary genre and realism with enthusiasm. | | | These paintings were easily comprehended by members of the public, could be engraved and were often reprinted in newspapers and magazines, and were generally small enough to fit into the homes of the middle class merchants and professionals who increasingly formed the market for contemporary art. |

| | Bicoastal Artists of the 1870s; essay by Ann Harlow |
| | The 1870s were not only a very active period in American art, but also a transitional one. | | | Somewhat like the 1980s, the 1870s were an artistically eclectic decade during which a lively art market helped to inspire a high degree of public interest, which in turn supported those artists who met with public favor, especially those who "kept up" with what was new in art. | | | Artists who spent the majority of their careers in the East but who painted in California for sustained periods in the 1870s were Albert Bierstadt, William Bradford, Herman Herzog, John Ross Key, Thomas Moran, Enoch Wood Ferry and the brothers James and George Smillie. |

| | The manuscripts of the 1870s and 1880s also show Dickinson's great interest in the ways words and space can work as images, which Marta Werner,in Open Folios, characterizes in the most radical terms as "a shift from the lexical toward the visual" (23). | | | In the scene of the 1870s and 1880s, therefore, a "word painting" constitutes the careful spatial layout of words and space, both of which are conceived as sound-images that help to make poetic meaning. | | | By the later phase of Dickinson's writing life, space and lineation have become the primary forms of punctuation, and marks -- such as "dashes" and "commas" -- are much less commonly used. |
