Likajoko, London] _Portraits of Celebrities at Different Times of their Lives._ [Illustration: AGE 10. _From a Photo. by W. Andrews, Dublin._] [Illustration: Age 20. _From a Photo. by W. & D. Downey._] HARRY FURNISS. BORN 1854. At ten years old Mr. Furniss was a pupil at the Wesleyan College School at Dublin, where he started and edited _The Schoolboy's Punch_, in the manner described in the extremely interesting interview which appears in the present number. At twenty he had just come up to London, and was working for the illustrated papers. At twenty-six he joined the staff of _Punch_, with which his name has ever since been intimately connected.

Adams, Aberdeen._] [Illustration: AGE 24. _From a Photo. by John Lamb, Aberdeen._] SIR GEORGE REID, P.R.S.A. BORN 1842. Sir George Reid, P.R.S.A., was born in Aberdeen, N.B., in the year 1842, and when nineteen years of age commenced his artistic studies at the "Trustees' Academy," in the City of Edinburgh, and shortly afterwards in Utrecht, under Mollinger. In 1870 he quitted the latter place for Paris, where he continued his studies; and for several months in 1871 completed his student life with Israels, at The Hague. He has proved himself a true artist, and proficient in all departments--both figure and landscape. Latterly he has applied himself to portrait painting, in which he finds few competitors. He has done much in the way of book illustrating. He was elected an Associate of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1870, and a full member seven years afterwards, receiving on the death of Sir W. Fettes Douglas the unanimous call of his brethren to occupy the chair as President. [Illustration: AGE 36. _From a Photo. by John Lamb, Aberdeen._] [Illustration: PRESENT DAY. _From a Photo. by A.
