The Relief of Mafeking : Charterhouse Mad with Joy. 1900.

For Sale is the Front Page removed from "The Graphic, May 26th, 1900," showing a Drawing by H. M. Paget for "The Relief of Mafeking :  Charterhouse Mad with Joy."

The good news that Mafeking had been relieved reached the Charterhouse School at Godalming about half-past nine on Friday night, and house after house took up the cheering that proclaimed the tidings. The boys had begun to retire for the night, but all thoughts of bed were dismissed, and endless demonstrations were made by the boys, who called for cheers for General Baden-Powell- "Good old Bathing Towel" they called him, that being his nickname when he was a boy at Charterhouse.  The cheers were accompanied by bugles, horns, the beating of tin boxes and forms with fire-irons, in short, with everything that was capable of making a noise.

Condition is Very Good.
