This engraving, titled "Colchester Oyster Feast" takes us back to the elegant atmosphere of a bygone era. The image captures a momentous occasion that occurred on October 25th, 1899, in the historic town of Colchester. A round table is adorned with distinguished individuals - colchester worthies, dignitaries, and even royalty. The eye is immediately drawn to the central figures seated at this grand feast. Among them are notable personalities such as the mayor and his royal highness and her royal highness. Their regal presence adds an air of prestige to the event, making it clear that this was no ordinary gathering. Surrounding them are other esteemed guests who have come together to celebrate the renowned Colchester Oyster Feast. Each person exudes an aura of importance as they engage in lively conversation and indulge in delectable oysters – a delicacy synonymous with this coastal town. The artist has masterfully captured both the opulence of the occasion and its historical significance.
