THE SALOON STEAM-PACKET COMPANY’S VESSEL ALEXANDRA, FOR PASSENGER TRAFFIC ON THE THAMES, 1865. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Saloon Steam-Packet Company's vessel Alexandra, for passenger traffic on the Thames, 1865. 'She is estimated at 140-horse power, nominal, and she is capable of travelling at the rate of nearly twenty miles an hour. Her burden is 157.29 tons, and, being flat bottomed, her draught of water is scarcely 4 ft. This is considered a great advantage, and one which forms a special feature in the vessel's construction, as the steam-ships at present on the Thames have sharp keels, and could not, therefore, be rendered capable of carrying the weight of a deck saloon. This deck saloon, formed upon the plan of the "hurricane decks" known in America, constitutes the great novelty which the directors have sought to introduce into this country...they have adapted a vessel, originally intended for a blockade-runner, to the peaceful purpose of conveying passengers from London Bridge to Gravesend...The vessel is constructed for carrying 1048 passengers, and these can be so distributed that there need be no apprehension of "over-crowding." The builders of the vessels were Messrs. Kirkpatrick and M'Intyre, of Port Glasgow; and Messrs. Smith and Co., of Greenock, constructed the engines, which are on the diagonal oscillating principle'.

SKETCHES FROM NEW YORK: A GARTEN WIRTHSCHAFT, 1864. CREATOR: MASON JACKSON.
Sketches from New York: a Garten Wirthschaft, 1864. 'There is hardly a street, lane, or alley in the city of New York in which the lager beer saloon, in some of its various forms, is not to be found. The Garten Wirthschaft...is most endeared to the contemplative Teuton...Music is always a leading attraction here. From the afternoon until a late hour of night the band performs industriously in a gallery high over head; and each musician removes the ophicleide or flute from his lips only to refresh them with a mug of lager beer. In the intervals of the music the players light their pipes or cigars, and sit gravely studying the scores before them. In some of these places there is a small stage at one end, with a piano and a stout woman in fancy costume who sings gutturally to the twanging of a monstrous guitar. The company are chiefly well-to-do mechanics and tradespeople, who bring their wives, and children with them, and even the baby is sure to be treated with a modicum of the ruddy malt. The waiters deftly wind in and out through the crowd, with three or four mugs in each hand and a couple of glasses on the top. Small girls parade up and down with little trays of sweetmeat for sale...There is invariably a shooting-gallery...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.

SKETCHES FROM NEW YORK: ENTERTAINMENT IN A LAGER BEER SALOON, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Sketches from New York: entertainment in a lager beer saloon, 1864. 'Lager beer proper is composed of malt, hops, and water...It is lighter than the beer of England, and has a bitter-aromatic flavour...A stronger kind of this beverage, called bock beer, is much indulged in by some of the steady old topers who frequent the beer gardens and saloons. This is of a more potent brewage than the ordinary sort, and its specific gravity is one third greater, as it has so much more of the malt ingredient in its composition. Bock beer is of a darker colour than the common lager...It takes its name from the frolicsome spirit supposed to be imparted by it to its imbibers, whose gambols remind the observant Teuton of those of the bock, or goat, a figure of which animal, engaged in sportive dalliance with a beer cask, is usually to be seen as a sign in places where this brewage is on tap...Another kind, much used in summer by the Germans in America, and more particularly by the Prussians, is that known as 'weiss bier,' or white beer. This is a light, frothy, beverage, brewed from one part of barley malt and five parts of wheat...because of the immense head of froth it carries, is drunk out of tall glasses resembling lamp chimneys'.

INTERNATIONAL ENTERTAINMENT AT THE GUILDHALL: THE BALL IN THE TEMPORARY SALOON..., 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
International entertainment at the Guildhall, [London]: the ball in the temporary saloon erected in the Guildhall-yard, 1862. 'The Corporation of the city of London, desirous of offering a suitable welcome to the distinguished foreigners and other eminent persons visiting the metropolis on the occasion of the international Exhibition, gave a ball and concert...covering the greater part of Guildhall-yard, a spacious and lofty saloon had been erected, with commodious entrances, lobbies, and side passages. The interior was decorated in the Gothic style of architecture; and ranged on the sides of the apartment were sixteen modelled and draped female figures. In the angles were placed allegorical statues of the four quarters of the globe, surrounded by choice plants and exotics, arranged with reference to the divisions of the globe from winch they came. The saloon was brilliantly lighted from the roof by starlight burners of gas. Early in the evening it was used as a hall of reception for the guests, and subsequently appropriated to dancing, an orchestral band being placed in a balcony over the eastern entrance...Dancing...was maintained with unflagging spirit until an advanced hour'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862. International entertainment at the Guildhall: the ball in the temporary saloon..., 1862. Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)

Saloon of Her Majesty's carriage on the London and North-Western Railway, 1861. Creator: Unknown. Saloon of Her Majesty's carriage on the London and North-Western Railway, 1861. 'State carriage...constructed expressly for the use of [Queen Victoria], the Prince Consort, and suite, the cost of which, it is stated, exceeded £3000. The design of this magnificent specimen of railway carriage architecture was in the main prepared by and carried out under the direction of Mr. Cawkwell, the general manager, and Mr. H. P, Bruyeres, the general superintendent of the London and North-Western Railway...The interior of the Royal saloon presents a coup d'oeil combining the most refined taste and elegance, The lining is of silver grey moire antique of the richest description, festooned and fluted, the same material covering the roof, divided into panels marked out by a rich cord of the same colour...At one end of the saloon is a sofa, covered with the same material as the lining of the carriage, and two easy-chairs are fixed on a revolving axis, so whilst they cannot be upset, they can be moved in any direction at the will of the party occupying them with the greatest ease...There are appliances for converting this magnificent sitting-room into a sleeping apartment'.
