which is in S. Maria delle Grazie at Varallo-Sesia. It is in twenty-one
compartments.
Two cards, not so large, with photographs of pictures and frescoes by
Gaudenzio. One of these reproduces frescoes and pictures in the
Crucifixion Chapel at Varallo. In the left-hand bottom corner is the
whole of the fresco in S. Maria delle Grazie showing how the twenty-one
compartments are placed. The other card contains Gaudenzio's frescoes in
the Church of S. Cristoforo at Vercelli.
A card with five photographs, two of the frescoes at Busto Arsizio near
Varese--at least, I think that is where they are. One is "St. John
Baptist's head in a charger," the other "The baptism in the Jordan."
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.
A woman in a black dress from Lima. Used by Butler to make female heads
for sale, but he was not successful.
_The Weekly Press_, N.Z., 21st Mar. 1917. Page 26 contains views of
Butler's homestead at Mesopotamia.
Two views of Butler's homestead, Mesopotamia, New Zealand, extracted from
the _Press_.
A view of the ruins of Hagiar Chem (Haggiar Kim in Malta).
A card with five photographic views. Two are the Garden at Langar. One
is at Langar, Mrs. Barratt. Cf. snapshot album, 891, p 27. The
remaining two are huts or whares in New Zealand, one being "Whare at
Mount Peel Station, Oct. 14."

FORMERLY THE PROPERTY OF OR RELATING TO SAMUEL BUTLER

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.

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