Spoiling Carbineers : A Little Luxury after Months of Hardship. 1900.

For Sale is a Full Page Drawing removed from "The Graphic, June 2nd, 1900," showing a Drawing by R. W. Macbeth, A.R.A., from a sketch by H. Lea, showing "Spoiling Carbineers :  a Little Luxury after Months of Hardship."

The Natal Carbineers and other Colonial troops, after the relief of Ladysmith, were allowed three weeks leave of absence.  At their homes they were idolised as heroes, and no one will grudge them the attention and admiration bestowed upon them after their many fights and after the hardships they had to endure.  Nourishing diet, too, will make the fitter for service, although at first abundance of good food is apt to try digestive organs that have only been accustomed to poor fare and none too much of that.

Condition is Very Good.
