For Sale is a Full Page removed from "The Graphic, July 7th, 1900," showing a Drawing by Frank Dadd, R.I., for "The Formal Annexation of the Orange Free State :  Saluting the Royal Standard at Bloemfontein."

At noon on May 28, the men of the 6th Division under General Kelly-Kenny, formed up in Market Square, Bloemfontein, when General Pretyman, the Military Governor, read the proclamation annexing the Orange Free State, and declaring it to be British territory under the name "Orange Free Colony."  Lord Acheson hoisted the Royal Standard, and the National Anthem was sung, after which three cheers were given for the Queen, Lord Roberts, and the British Army.  A salute of twenty-one guns concluded the ceremony.

Condition is Very Good.
