When I first saw his celebrated composition picture, "The Two Ways of Life," in the Art Treasures Exhibition at Manchester in 1857, I wondered how he could have got so many men and women to become models, and be able to sit or stand in such varied and strained positions for the length of time then required by the wet collodion process; but my wonder ceased when I became acquainted with him in after years, and ascertained that he had the command of a celebrated troupe, who gave _tableaux vivants_ representations of statues and groups from paintings under the direction and name of "Madame Wharton's _pose plastique_ troupe." What became of the original "Two Ways of Life" I do not know, but the late Henry Greenwood possessed it at the time of Rejlander's death, for I remember endeavouring to induce Mr. Greenwood to allow it to be offered as a bait to the highest contributor to the Rejlander fund; but Mr. Greenwood's characteristic reply was, "Take my purse, but leave me my 'Two Ways of Life.'" Mr. Rejlander kindly gave me a reduced copy of his "Two Ways of Life," and many other examples of his works, both in the nude and semi-nude. Fortunately Rejlander did not confine himself to such productions, but made hundreds of draped studies, both comic and serious, such as "Ginx's Baby," "Did She?," "Beyond the Bible," and "Homeless." Where are they all now? I fear most of them have faded away, for Rejlander was a somewhat careless operator, and he died before the more permanent process of platinum printing was introduced. When Rejlander died, his widow tried to make a living by printing from his negatives, but I fear they soon got scattered. Rejlander was a genial soul and a pleasant companion, and he had many kind friends among members of the Solar Club, as well as other clubs with which he was associated. There is one more death in this year to be recorded, that of Thomas Sutton, B.A., the founder and for many years editor of _Photographic Notes_, and the inventor of a panoramic camera of a very clumsy character that bore his name, and that was all. Mr. Sutton was a very clever man with rather warped notions, and in the management of his _Photographic Notes_ he descended to the undignified position of a caricaturist, and published illustrations of an uncomplimentary description, some of which were offensive in the extreme, and created a great deal of irritation in some minds at the time.
