Oil on canvas (53 x 42 cm). Framed. [No. 36 in Henry Festing Jones's 1921 catalogue: This is one of the series of portraits of himself referred to in the note to no. 7. Another of these later portraits was given after his death to Christchurch, New Zealand; and another to the Schools, Shrewsbury. This one was given by Butler to me soon after it was painted, and it remained in my possession till 1911, when I gave it to St. John's College. It is reproduced as the frontispiece to vol. I of the "Memoir".'] View a digital image of this picture at: https://artuk.org/discover/artworks/samuel-butler-18351902-st-johns-college-classical-tripos-1858-writer-artist-composer-photographer-self-portrait-139362

Oil on canvas. Framed. [No. 9 in Henry Festing Jones's 1921 catalogue: 'There is something written in pencil on the panelling in the left-hand bottom corner. I believe the words to be "Corner of my room, Augt. 1865, S.B." ... Here are shown Butler's books, including Bradshaw's Guide and Whitaker's Almanack, of which he speaks somewhere as being indispensable. I admit that I cannot identify them, but he used to keep them among the books in these shelves. I do not think he ever possessed that equally indispensable book the Post Office Directory. But he had more books than those shown in this painting. Betweenhis sitting-room and his painting-room was a short passage in which was a cupboard, and this contained the rest. I do not remember how many there were, but not enough to invalidate the statement he made to Robert Bridges ('Memoir' II. 320), "I have, I verily believe, the smallest library of any man in London who is by way of being literary".'] View a digital image of this painting at: https://artuk.org/discover/artworks/interior-of-the-artists-study-at-15-cliffords-inn-london-139351
