No. 226. The Penance of Zæo in the presence of some Members of the County Council. P.H. Calderon, R.A.
No. 5. "Long Ago." LONG (EDWIN, R.A.) and more or less of "a go." Instead of "Long Ago" which is egotistical, why not Long Egit or Long Fecit?
Nos. 21, 22, 23. "The Lyons Mail" (and Female). BRITON RIVIÈRE, R.A. [N.B.—"R.A.," i.e., "Royal Academician" and "Royal Animal-painter.">[
No. 27. The Viscount CROSS looking quite Viscount Cheerful. "Painted for the Grand Jury Room, Lancaster Castle," the Catalogue informs us. Suggestive of their arguing among themselves "at cross purposes." Painted by SYDNEY HODGES.
No. 77. "On Strike." Very striking. Who could have painted this? Ah! Who but HERKOMER. R.A.
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.
