For Sale is a Full Page removed from "The Graphic, August 25th, 1900," showing a Drawing by Gordon Browne, R.I., from a Sketch by A. Bianchini, called "Winning the Hearts of their People :  The King and Queen of Italy at the Scene of the Disaster near Rome."  (Train Crash).

Immediately on being informed of the disastrous railway collision, which occurred near the Salario Bridge, about ten miles from Rome, the King and Queen proceeded to the scene of the accident.  Among the passengers in the train were the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess Peter of Russia (the Queen Helena's sister), who fortunately escaped uninjured.  The King and Queen and their royal relatives devoted themselves to the work of rescue.  Among the injured was a young girl of seventeen, to whom the Queen especially devoted herself, the case touching her Majesty deeply.  Queen Helena, with her sister, returned to the Quirinal at four in the morning, but the King and the Grand Duke remained until six assisting in the work of rescue, even making their way underneath the wrecked carriages.

Condition is Very Good.
