Reception, by Messrs. Cuthbert, Paternoster-Row, of Lint, Etc., for the Wounded at Scutari, 1854. Warehouse for donations to the Nightingale Hospital in Turkey, during the Crimean War. '...the nobility and gentry of all grades instantly sent in their donations of lint, rags, woollen shirts, stockings, and warm clothing to a large amount...Upwards of sixty tons weight were soon received from private benevolence...in a few days the huge piles shown in the Illustration were on their way to the Hospital at Scutari. A party of benevolent ladies feeling it to be the duty of every one, at this important crisis, to evince their sympathy with the brave men who are now fighting the battles of their country, are making articles of substantial comfort for the soldier. They have commenced with high, strong, and warm-knitted woollen socks...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
