Content Description

The bust of Paderewski, bought by the Chantrey bequest, was cast in bronze from the original model, stowed away for many years. Miss Lewis has the scaled down version. Sorry to hear that Spielmann has been unwell.

Also a newspaper cutting, a report of a complimentary dinner for Gilbert, held at the Café Royal by his friends.
