'Mr J. J. Hill is represented by a beautifully coloured picture of “Spring” (74), in which a girl’s face and half figure are prettily introduced.'
Birmingham Daily Post, 16 April 1863

'...but we do not know whether this, and some others of Mr. Cobbett’s works too, must not yield to a picture in the same line by Mr. J. J. Hill, “Spring” (74), a gem of art, with somewhat more sentiment about it than Mr. Cobbett cares to cultivate.'
John Bull, 11 April 1863
