Visit of Colonial Premiers and the Houses of Parliament to Portsmouth.

£250 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

A delightful item which should be compared with item 529 in our catalogue 1291, this being without the mounted coloured post-card style illustrations. This version produced, or at least adapted for this specific visit with details of itinerary and plan of the route that the party took through the dockyard. Dreadnought was launched by the King in February 1906 and underwent her major trials early in 1907, much of the visit was preoccupied with this great new weapon and the construction of the second of the class Bellerophon .
