The Savage Club Entertainment at the Royal Albert Hall: the Pipe of Peace, 1883. Entertainment and costume ball '...in aid of the...founding of a scholarship in connection with the Royal College of Music...The livelier portion of the proceedings commenced with...the procession of the Red Skins, who, with savage disregard of the time of Mr. Cowen's admirable "Barbaric March," shuffled in true "Indian file" and gait, or gambols, across the arena, and, forming a semicircle about the Chief and Medicine Men, smoked the pipe of peace, duly offering it, in dumb show, to their "Great Father" the Prince of Wales...To the revived interest in art (and therefore costume) we should attribute the remarkable accuracy that distinguished the "get up" of many of the motley throng. In this respect the Red Indian savages were specially noteworthy. Their stalwart chief, Mr. T. J. Gullick, the artist and art-critic, spared no pains to organise an exact representation. Catlin's "North American Indians" and more learned authorities were consulted...the collections of the British and South Kensington Museums and in Victoria-street (Christy's) were examined; and loans of Indian clothing, ornaments, and arms were invited from and kindly granted...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
