The Hon. East India Company's Banquet at the London Tavern to Lieutenant-General Patrick Grant, C.B. Creator: Unknown.

The Hon. East India Company's Banquet at the London Tavern to Lieutenant-General Patrick Grant, C.B., The New Commander-in- Chief of Madras, 1856. 'The spacious hall was magnificently decorated...The buffet called "St. George's" was nearly twenty feet in height, and, the background, being formed of rich crimson velvet, produced a gorgeous effect. The supporters of the Royal arms, in white and gold, were placed on each side, while on the top stood a figure of Victory holding a jewelled crown of gold over a bust of Her Majesty...the whole was brilliantly lighted up with a large number of wax-lights. At the centre of the head table...was an elegantly-designed plateau in solid silver, representing the Sikh chiefs delivering up their arms at the close of the campaign in 1849'. Grant was a senior Indian Army officer, and directed operations against the mutineers during the Indian Rebellion of 1857. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
