Comments:
by Geoffrey Godden:
Godden does not include this silk portrait in his published list
 

Other comments:
The actual woven silk is more commonly found with the words: " Empire Makers " printed above; it is very rare to find the version above.

 

To date, three 'CAPE TO CAIRO' silks are known:

General Sir Redvers Buller, V.C. (For Queen and Country) [the silk above]

Field-Marshal Lord Roberts, V.C. (Cape to Cairo). [go265]

Field-Marshal Lord Roberts, V.C. (For Queen and Country). [go266]
