Chapter X: Portraits

FORMERLY THE PROPERTY OF OR RELATING TO SAMUEL BUTLER

{Samuel Butler when an undergraduate about 1858: p53.jpg}

Butler's Photograph Album.

I have written the names against those portraits of whose identity I am certain. The cabinet photograph of Canon Butler resembles the father in "Family Prayers"; but Butler cannot have used this photograph, which was done when Canon Butler was an old man, for a picture painted in 1864.

Photographs of S. Butler:

(1) Soon after his return from New Zealand.

(2) 1866.

(3) Taken by Mrs. Bridges in the garden at Langar about 1866.

(4) His identification photograph at the Paris Exhibition, 1867. 2 copies.

(5) At Milan about 1886.

(6) At 15 Clifford's Inn, by Alfred, about 1888.

(7) At 15 Clifford's Inn, by Alfred, about 1889.

(8) Taken at The Long House, Leatherhead, by Mr. Pidgeon, about 1894.

(9) Taken by Russell in 1901. Given by Butler to Streatfeild.

The Rev. T. Butler, of Wilderhope House, Shrewsbury, Butler's father.

Mrs. Butler, Butler's mother.

Tom Butler, Butler's brother.

Miss Eliza Mary Anne Savage.

Three photographs of Charles Paine Pauli, two on cards and one on glass.

Butler kept the glass one on his mantelpiece until Pauli's death in 1897. Then he removed it. He would have removed it earlier, but Pauli came to his rooms to lunch three times a week, and would have noticed its absence. For Pauli see the _Memoir_.

Hans Rudolf Faesch as a boy.
