An apparently unrecorded printed notice issued by the Society of Arts bemoaning the 'vulgar habit, common throughout Europe of mobbing distinguished persons on their visits to public places', and beseeching visitors to their Conversazione on 1st July, 1869 to refrain from accosting 'Royal and distinguished person' attending the event so that they may 'enjoy the privilege of walking about unmolested, and seeing the objects of art, like any private person'.
