The Samuel Butler Collection at Saint John's College, Cambridge Part 18

Butler particularly liked the scratchings of names and dates on the former. The other three photographs are of pictures. The foregoing six cards (three, two and one) used to hang framed in Butler's chambers.

Butler's Photograph Alb.u.m.

I have written the names against those portraits of whose ident.i.ty 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.

(1) Soon after his return from New Zealand.

(2) 1866.

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

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

Butler kept the gla.s.s 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_.
