Illustrated London News article describing the presentation of a stained-glass memorial window to the Corporation of London at Guildhall in July 1868. The window was given by Lancashire, Cheshire and Derbyshire cotton workers in thanks for the more than £500,000 in relief distributed through the Mansion House Committee during the cotton famine of 1862-5. The text details the window's design, figures and inscription, the deputation, and the speeches. An engraving shows the crowded Guildhall interior with the window.
