John Laurie Wallace, 1895, in a neatly balanced cross-legged pose before the camera of Thomas Eakins - a friend for whom he often modelled these early outdoor photographs which would be used for anatomical studies, or provide the reference for painted scenes.

The remaining members minus sax reformed themselves as In Excelsis.”
