No. 82. Apparently this must have been intended for a portrait of the
late Mr. DION BOUCICAULT, but subsequently adapted to represent
WALTER GILBEY, Esq. Looks quite the GILBEY'S "fine, old, dry," but
not "crusted." No doubt whatever of its being the excellent work of
W(erry) Q(uaint) ORCHARDSON, R.A.
No. 112. "_Hanson is as Hanson does_." By J. HANSON WALKER. Naturally
pleased with "the promise of May," and
No. 118. Another Young Lady only Younger. By the same Artist.
No. 143. The Right Hon. A.J. BALFOUR, M.P., as seen by L. ALMA-TADEMA,
R.A. Taken while considering
No. 147. The Irish Question as represented by Sir FREDERICK LEIGHTON,
P.R.A.'s "_Perseus and Andromeda_." Allegory, _Andromeda_, Ireland.
_The Monster_, "Parnellism and Crime;" and _Perseus_, BALFOUR.
Marvellous Monster! DRURIOLANUS should at once order a dozen of
'em, hot and strong, for next Christmas Pantomime. Poor Miss ANNE
DROMEDA,--"a dainty morsel _à croquer_," quoth the Monster.
No. 148. No possible doubt whatever about this being A. BERTIE;
FREEMAN-MITFORD, C.B., painted by the President of the Painters, who
has hit him off to the life. B.M. is taken at the moment when, as a
spectator of the Perseus and Andromeda _ballet d'action_, he remembers
having seen something like it in "Old Japan."
No. 201. "_Poor Tom's a Cold!_" LAURENCE SCOTT. Picture illustrating
the shortest and easiest way of catching his death of cold.
No. 206. "_Two's company, Three's none_," observed the Sun, as
blushing deeply, he sank away in the far distance. By MAURICE GREIFFEN
LAGEN.
No. 209. The original Pieman met by SIMON going to the fair in very
full dress. ARTHUR S. COPE.
No.220. "_A Student_" of ALMA-TADEMA'S style. THOMAS R. SPENCE.
No. 231. "Is it one o'clock?" she said to herself, anxiously. "I
hope luncheon will be punctual." The picture will be known as "_Grace
before Meals_," delightfully (of course) painted by Sir JOHN E.
MILLAIS.
No. 232. By the P.R.A. "What's that?" said one well-educated clerical
visitor to his matronly wife. She read it out, pronouncing it thusly,
"_Return of Percy Fone_." "What!" exclaimed the Clergyman. Then,
taking the Catalogue into his own hands, he read "_Return of
Persephone_." "It's pronounced," he informed his help-mate,
"Për-s[)e]ph-[)o]-n[)e]." "Is it?" she returned, in a tone expressive
of unmitigated incredulity. "Then," she asked suddenly, as a
brilliant idea struck her, "why isn't 'telephone' pronounced
'tel-[)e]ph-[)o]-n[)e]'?" And turning her back on him, would not hear
another word on the subject.
No. 283. _Not Crossley, but Kindly_. CLAUDE CALTHROP.
No. 333. _Professor Huxley_. By Hon. JOHN COLLIER. When it isn't the
Professor, it might serve for Sir GEORGE GROVE. Bravo, Honourable
JOHN! "Hang him, JOHN COLLIER!" (SHAKSPEARE adapted.)
