Wood engraving depicting a room full of deaf members at the annual soirée in Hanover Square Rooms, London

(Illustrated London News, 21 January 1865)
A small group of men seated in a semi-circle on the stage, a large crowd of deaf people in the audience, many of them signing to each other. In front on stage, Rev Samuel Smith interpreting a gentleman who is speaking and gesticulating next to him. A tall decorated Christmas tree in the background.
