42pp., 12mo. In cream printed illustrated wraps printed in green. The body of the magazine is paginated 53-85, with additional pages of advertisements at the front and back, and on the inside and back of the wraps. Aged, and with a little damp damage and rust to staples. From the Lynd archive, and with a full-page photographic portrait of 'Mrs. ROBERT LYND' on p.66. For the purposes of reproduction her daughter Maire Gaster has altered 'Mrs. ROBERT' to 'Sylvia' in pencil, and written 'Courtesy of MAIRE GASTER' at the head of the page. The conjugate leaf (carrying pp.71-72) is lacking, and the bifolium carrying pp.67-70 is loose. Editorial on 'The Record Breaking Banquet', with articles on 'The Irish National Banquet' (lacking the last two pages on the missing leaf described above) and ' The Banquet from a Woman's Point of View' by 'Una'. On p.61 'Mr. Robert Lynd and Mrs. Lynd' are reported to have dined 'at the principal table', and on p.74 'Una' writes: 'Mrs. Robert Lynd's dress I am unable to describe as my fleeting glimpse of her only left with me the impression of her expressive face, its individual charm heightened by seed-pearl ear-rings of quaint and beautiful design.' No other copy traced.
