Item description from seller

Single sheet, printed on single side, folded twice, illus. A lovely memento of the 1960 Christmas dinner held for employees of the publisher John Murray. The rather modest starter of grapefruit was followed by Roast Norfolk Turkey, Christmas pudding (with Rhum sauce), and cheese and biscuits. The card was almost certainly signed prior to the consumption of the 'Blanc Superior Sain Julien', lager beer, and port. The card includes signatures of two John Murrays (three were alive in 1960). PLEASE NOTE: For customers within the UK this item is subject to VAT at 20%.
