The Lowndean Professor preferred to have his house filled with photographs of sunspots, Niagara, and glaciers rather than to have its walls covered with paintings.
That he did like pictures, however, may be gathered from the following extract from a letter : "We had a great day at the private view. We saw many lovely things. Alma-Tadema's 'Watching' is exquisite an oriental girl sitting on a tiger-skin in (of course) a marble hall 174 Lowndean Professor at Cambridge with two wondrous necklets o...f amethysts and topaz! But I am told that the picture is destitute of ' artistic feeling/ of ' breadth, ' and of ' spontaneity, ' so, of course, I should not have admired it, but I did, and do.
"There is 'spontaneity' enough about 'St. Anthony and his Temptation ' ! A friend of mine told me he had great difficulty in dissuading his rich father-in-law from buying it. Even his daughter's remonstrances against such a shocking thing in the drawing-room were without avail, until an artist's wife pointed out the real or imaginary defect that the foot of the ' Tempta- tion ' was out of drawing.
