Rand, commemorated in Victoria Randi, died recently in Para, Brazil. He was an expert plantsman, a private gentleman, and wrote interestingly on various horticultural subjects." - American Gardening, Volume 19, 1898, p. 458. Victoria Regia, as shown in this illustration, does not purport to be variety Randi, but similar to that named for Edward S. Rand. "Victoria Randi, the new Crimson Victoria, is a variety of recent introduction ; very similar to the Victoria Regia, except the vertical edges of the leaves are broader, forming a deeper 'tray' and the flowers, opening white, soon change to a deep crimson." - "Botanical guide through the Phipps conservatories in Pittsburg and Allegheny" by Gustave Guttenbert, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, 1894.

|  The “Spouting Horn” in a Storm Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: "Even more dramatic is Fenn’s view of the Maine coast, ‘The Spouting Horn’ in a Storm,” with the mast of a wrecked ship, an example of the sublime associated with danger and man’s weakness in face of nature’s power. The metaphor of battle to describe the confrontation of sea and rocky coast had become a literary convention used by several Picturesque America writers." – Part of the author’s discussion of 19th century artists who added drama to what they saw when illustrating it, before the advent of photography. - "Creating picturesque America: Monument to the Natural and Cultural Landscape" by Sue Rainey, Vanderbilt University Press, 1994, p. 215.
