EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'Banquet to Her Majesty's Ministers at the Mansion House, 1857', showcases an impressive gathering of diplomats and dignitaries in the grand Egyptian Hall. The Lord Mayor of London, Sir Henry John Temple Palmerston, is seen entertaining the future British Prime Minister, Lord Palmerston, at the opulent banquet. The company includes an array of ambassadors and their suites, adding an exotic and picturesque touch to the occasion. Among the distinguished guests are His Excellency Ferouk Khan, the Persian Plenipotentiary, and his entourage, whose Oriental aspect and elaborate attire drew particular attention. Seated to the right of the Lord Mayor are Viscountess Palmerston, the Turkish Ambassador, the Persian Ambassador, and Captain Lynch.
