Published by the Illustrated London News, 19 August 1876. 510 x 1200 mm, being slightly trimmed, excising the Illustrated London News heading from the top edge, but retaining serviceable margins. A worn copy with old tape repairs to the back. Edges worn and frayed, with some loss to margins, but with only limited loss to image surface. A few small fold tears and holes with minimal loss to printed surface, the first vertical fold from the left almost entirely split.
