Review: New York Clipper, 22 November 1862, 255.

“The Ravels re-appeared at Niblo’s on the 10th, before an immense audience, and their business has been very large all through the week. It is really astonishing how these people draw, when it is remembered that most of their pieces have been worn out in the service years ago.”
