We know from the survival of an elaborate invitation, illustrated by Dudley, that Field then exhibited the pictures at his Gramercy Park residence in New York City. The invitation promised visitors “...a Private View Of a Series of Pictures By Mr. Robert Dudley, of London, Representing the Principal Incidents Connected with the Atlantic Telegraph Expeditions. Gramercy Park, New York.” In 1892, all of these paintings and watercolours, along with other cable memorabilia from his collection, were given by Field to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and they remain in the Museum’s collection today. The invitation to Field's private view included a detailed description for each of the oil paintings, and these captions are reproduced in the Metropolitan Museum section.
