London's Bicentennial (Snippet 16)

 Prince Arthur's Tour -  He Visits London in 1869
   Apparently the "Blue Noses" were a bit rambunctious at this reception.

From: 





A Bonus:
   
Also in 1869 one finds this Personal Ad in the New York Herald from a gentleman who wishes to resume a conversation. For another example of a personal ad placed by a Londoner see: "Lonely in London c. 1920."
