schoolmaster, Mr Marshall, expounding to his pupils the beauties
of nature. Unpublished. Given to Ernest Lambert, Esq., Brighton,
_c._ 1886-7.

Beside the above-named there must have been numbers of such drawings
belonging to this early period; for in his schooldays Aubrey
Beardsley was, to quote the words of Mr H. A. Payne, "constantly
doing these little, rough, humorous sketches, which he gave away
wholesale." Many have been destroyed or lost, others dispersed
abroad. Thus, for instance, one old Brighton Grammar School boy,
C. E. Pitt-Schenkel, told Mr Payne that he was in possession of
some, which he took out to South Africa.

9. THE JUBILEE CRICKET ANALYSIS. Eleven tiny pen-and-ink sketches,
entitled respectively:----

I. A good bowler.
II. Over.
III. Slip.
IV. Square leg.
V. Shooters.
VI. Caught.
VII. A block.
VIII. A demon bowler.
IX. Stumped.
X. Long leg.
XI. Cutting a ball.

All these subjects being represented, in humorous fashion, by literal
equivalents. These drawings, though they cannot pretend to any merit,
are notable as the earliest specimens to be published of the
artist's work. Together they formed a whole-page photo-lithographic
illustration in _Past and Present_, the Brighton Grammar School
Magazine, June 1887.

Maskwell and Lady Touchwood. Pen drawing with sepia wash, on a sheet
