| Description | Card from 'Mr. Andrew Lang' who was to be presiding at the anniversary dinner of the Royal Literary Fund at the Whitehall Rooms, Hotel Metropole, on Thursday, 13th May [year unknown]. The purpose of the card was for 'Lord Tennyson' who was 'president of the corporation' to 'request the honour of being allowed to nominate the Rev. Dr. M. Gaster as a Steward.'
The card likely dates from 1904, when Lord Tennyson started serving as President of the Royal Literary Fund, to 1912, when Andrew Lang died. |
