Interior of the Cymreigyddion Hall, Abergavenny, 1845. Cultural event in Wales. 'The ceiling was entirely covered with pendant evergreens, through wich ever and anon hung chandeliers and lamps, whose light shed a rich lustre on the gay recherché scene...Crowns and harps formed of dahlias, were hanging in various directions. Flora, in short, seemed to be the presiding genius of the scene'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
