King Size Invitation and Captain Cook Exhibition Debut
Fragmentary notices describe a king size invitation sealed and dated August 26 1768 tied to the London Bridge event. The piece references Captain Cook voyages, a London Gazette front page, and a public invitation from the Order of St John of Jerusalem the Ladies Guild Run for an event at Rooremba Station. Attendees include Lady Harrington and Mrs Dovers with acceptances by January 28. Various currencies and voyage details appear, along with honorary chairs and a committee list. The text is garbled but centers on a ceremonial invitation linked to Cook’s expeditions and guild activities at a named London venue.
