Peter,
Lady Butler's The defence of Rorke's Drift, January 22nd, 1879 was completed in 1880, it was first exhibited at the 1881 Royal Academy Exhibition, judging by the newspaper reports I would say that was in May 1881. John Y. |

Many thanks for that John. Given that de Neuville's painting was exhibited almost before the paint was dry I'm slightly surprised Lady Butler's effort was not shown for some time after it was finished - or so it appears. Perhaps it was an annual exhibition and she just missed the 1880 one?
