The Naval Brigade's Welcome in the City : The Feast at Lloyd's. 1900.

For Sale is a Full Page removed from "The Graphic, May 12th, 1900," showing a Drawing by H. M. Paget, for "The Naval brigade's Welcome in the City : The Feast at Lloyd's."

It had been announced that the Naval brigade would be entertained "at tea" at Lloyd's but the "tea" turned out to be a sumptuous cold meal beginning with salmon and concluding with hothouse pineapples and grapes.  " a great improvement on siege rations" as one bluejacket said.  This was served in the Reading Room.  The men were waited on at seven tastefully decorated tables by members of Lloyd's.  The walls of the room were prettily festooned with red-white-and-blue drapery and prominently displayed were the names Bloemfontein, Ladysmith, Belmont, and Modder River. At one end of the room was a curtain, which was drawn back during the meal, revealing a model of the Powerful picked out with electric lights, and bearing the legend in the form of a Naval signal, "Well done, Powerful !".  The men were taken by surprise, and cheered lustily at this extra compliment to them.

Condition is Very Good.
