专家说明

Whilst the combat of the American Civil War had not yet begun, on the 9 February 1861 Jefferson Davis was elected the provisional president of the breakaway Confederate States of America. The impact of events was felt across Europe and it seems possible that the present sketches by Brennan were inspired by his thoughts on contemporary events.

The provenance of Keeley Halswelle, A.R.S.A. (1832-1891) can be linked to his meeting Brennan, a resident of Rome, when he moved to the city for several years in 1868.
