Description: | Titled as above by the artist, lower right, and signed and dated 1942, lower left. A view of the Lower Hall taken from within the south side of the arch in the Upper Hall, with the oak tables, leather-upholstered chairs and table candelabra arranged as remained the general practice from 1939, when the Hall became the dining 'mess' of the Royal Naval College, to its closure in that role in 1998.
While the same furniture remains in use for corporate and other functions, the Lower Hall tables are now more generally used in shorter arrangements than the three long parallel rows shown here which those attending the college used daily for all meals.
Box Title: D172 M2172-2181.
