Music for the Master: The Luncheon-Hour - The busy man's play-time: the good music, coffee and cigar in a winter garden, 1909. 'Busy as the business man of Manchester is, he is able to snatch recreation, and some of the most enjoyable moments of his day are those spent over the after-luncheon coffee and cigar, which, taken in, say, the Winter Garden of the Midland Hotel, have as companions good music and good songs - for is not Manchester one of the most musical of cities? Drawn by S. Begg, our Special Artist in Manchester.' From "Illustrated London News", 1909.
