The Danes and the British Lion: sketch on board the "Tantallon Castle" at Copenhagen, 1895. 'A large party of English visitors, among whom were Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone, invited guests of Sir Donald Currie, M.P., on board the Tantallon Castle, of the South African "Castle" Company's line, after visiting Hamburg and Copenhagen, were conveyed to Kiel in time to witness the proceedings at that end of the Canal. Our Special Artist, Mr. Melton Prior, was with this party, and his sketches now published represent scenes at Hamburg, at Copenhagen, and at Kiel, which should be more particularly interesting to our own countrymen'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
