FACSIMILE OF POST-CARD FROM S. BUTLER TO H. F. JONES, FLORENCE, SEPT. 3, 1892 . . . face p. 23

Butler was staying in Florence on his way home from his first visit to Sicily. The old Greek painting referred to is reproduced as the frontispiece to The Authoress of the Odyssey (1897). Mlle. V. is Mlle. Vaillant, as to whom see the Memoir. The “nose” belonged to the editor of a Swiss paper whom I had met at Fusio.
