Wraps. Cloth spine. Condition: Very Good Plus. John Hassell, primary artist. Artwork also by Walter Crane, Percy J. Billinghurst, Cecil Aldin, Arthur J. Gough (illustrator). First Edition. One of the most substantial and extraordinary charity event programmes and souvenirs we have ever come across, with contributions from literary and artistic stars and big names of the day. The three day fund-raiser was to support soldiers and perhaps other victims of the then ongoing Boer War. The importance of the patriotic event is attested to by the depth of involvement of the highest rungs of British society. Not only is there a nod to every Royal of the time, but countless aristocrats, more women than men, had a role in the event -- we think few were the titled women not receiving some mention, often accompanied with a photo. The event itself was clearly elaborate, with seven separate concerts and the "bazaar", which we imagine was along the lines of a glamorous jumble sale, and perhaps also a festive replication of a village market day atmosphere, but with the vendors selling tony products, and some having for sale finer things, whether artwork, attire, objets, contributed by supporters. Nowhere is this part of the proceedings detailed, but it is implicit in the names of committees. The program itself is impressive. In addition to the catchy cover art, the programme abounds in Art Nouveau decoration. And the literary contributions we think have a significance apart from the event. To us of particular interest is a poem by Israel Zangwill. Given his Zionist views, how does this comport with the then prevalent social or casual antisemitism so prevalent in the upper reaches of British Society? Other literary contributions are from: Alfred Austin, Poet Laureate at the time; John Strange Winter, pseudonym of Henrietta E.V. Stannard, a popular novelist best known for chronicling the life of a soldier, represented with a long poem; Henry Lucy, then a well-known political journalist; Arthur Pinero; Robert Hitchens; Max Pemberton; and a host of other celebrity authors. Star of the Music Hall Charles Godfrey composed a Gavotte for the occasion, the score printed in the program. 4to. 27.5 by 22 cm. 158, [24] pp. Frontis photo of Queen Victoria, with smaller photos a few pages in of then Alexandra, Princess of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge and General George White. The List of Patrons reads like a condensed Debrett's. Over 50 pages, or a third, of the program is devoted to poems, stories, literary pieces and original illustration. Over 60 regiments and other military units are honored with a page that names its aristocratic sponsors or patrons, and these pages are also recognizing these sponsors and patrons for their support of the particular regiment. Many regiments were organized and recruited from specific locations, so that you have regiments with names like "The Sherwood Foresters", which was a Derbyshire Regiment, "The Duke of Edinburgh's Wiltshire Regiment", or the "Irish Fusilliers". These regiment commemorations are quite decorative. Besides listing the head and the committee of their civilian support committee, they each had illustrations, often a drawing of a soldier, and also elaborate ornamental artwork that could include a coat-of-arms or be based on elements of a germane armorial emblem, or some free associated object or animal that is dear to the regiment. And there is usually a cameo photo of the President or Secretary of the Regiment's support organization, and sometimes a second photo of someone else with a significant ceremonial role. As an example, the page for The Oxfordshire Light Infantry has a photo of Consuelo Vanderbilt, then the Duchess of Marlborough, and punching the page up are a drawing of a flag, a armorial horn device, and other frilly ornamentation. Among these pages we would single out the Animal Department, which was headed by the Duchess of Bedford, who was a legend in the feline fancier world. Seven pages lay out the various concerts and performances, and the concluding pages, 24 in all, are advertisements, which with the distance of time have an appeal that would have fallen flat at the time.
