ii8 The Life of Fred Archer 
I\Ir. Cecil Raleigh wrote : "I think that the memory of 
Prestbury used to come back to Archer's mind whenever he 
met me, for he always went out of his way to do me any service 
he could. 
" His sittings to Carlo Pellegrini, and the appearance of 
the famous cartoon in Vanity Fair, were the result of a 
chance meeting in Regent vStreet, when these things were 
arranged. I walked along the pavement with Mr. Thomas 
Gibson Bowles on one side of me and Fred Archer, whom I had 
just introduced to him, on the other, hoping that I should meet 
a lot of people that I knew, and saying to myself : ' This is 
fame ! ' "
