[FOREST HOTEL]. The Forest Hotel. Epping Forest, Chingford.

[s.i.]. [s.n.], [s.d., c. 1880]
Oblong 12mo. [2], 28pp, [2]. With four full-page engraved illustrations in the text. Stitched, as issued, in original publisher's pictorial light green wrappers. Lightly rubbed and marked. Recent book-label of Robin de Beaumont to verso of upper wrapper.
An unrecorded late Victorian brochure advertising the picturesque Forest Hotel and the idyllic environs of Epping Forest, in particular the historic hunting lodge of Elizabeth I.

The establishment, newly refurbished, promotes itself as a hostelry ideally suited to 'Excursionists', City Companies', 'Ceremonial Assemblies', and 'Masonic Lodges'. Indeed, The Freemason's Chronicle (26th June, 1880) stated: 'This picturesque and sumptuously appointed Hotel stands amid the most beautiful scenery of Epping Forest, is easily accessible from London, and its lofty and handsomely furnished Elizabethan Dining Hall is admirably adapted for Masonic banquets, while another room is appropriate for Lodge meetings.'
