Matlock: Twentieth Century Photographs, Postcards, Engravings & Etchings
 


Smedley's Christmas Banquet Menu Front Cover, 1926.

A photograph of the Hydro is incorporated into the design.
The inter-war programmes were tied with coloured ribbons and guests would often autograph them.
In this instance Harry Douglas, the Manager, did so.
The original outer cover is slightly longer than the one shown here.
