49. Drawing in pencil and ink: The Sacro Monte, Varese, from the seventh or Flagellation Chapel.
He intended to paint a picture this size, and started by making this drawing, which is an enlargement of the drawing reproduced in Alps and Sanctuaries, ch. xxiii. (1881), but he did not proceed with the painting.
50. Drawing in pencil and ink: Boulogne-sur-Mer, La Porte Gayole.
This was a favourite view which he often sketched; but I have only found this example.

51. All (except a few which are lost) the original drawings for Alps and Sanctuaries.
Placed here in order of date because the book was published in 1881. Some of the drawings are by Charles Gogin, who did the frontispiece and the Madonna della Neve on the title page, and who also introduced the figures into those of Butler’s drawings which have figures; and a few are by me. There are among this lot also several sketches, etc., by various persons which Butler collected as illustrating his “Considerations on the Decline of Italian Art.” Some are published in the chapter so headed in the book, but others were not published.
