Fragment of printed handbill by the Earl of Dartmouth.

For this eccentric club see 'The History of I Zingari' by R. L. Arrowsmith & B. J. W. Hill (1982). From the Mark Bonham Carter archive. Roughly five inches square. In poor condition: grubby and creased with several closed tears. Text entirely legible. Ink notes on back (by Bonham Carter?) including picture of sailing ship and reference to Somerset Maugham Prize. Reads 'The Governor, I Zingari, has pleasure in sending you a "Testamur" as a proof that you have successfully passed the probationary period. | He would remind you that the "Testamur" does not mean the "end of the passage" but only the "beginning of it", and he looks forward to see the promise you have given bearing full fruit in the near future. | He would be glad to have an assurance from you that he is justified in this expectation, and, as Governor, bids you heartily welcome as a full member. | Address to which answer should be sent: - | THE EARL OF DARTMOUTH, | Lord's Cricket Ground, | N.W. 8.'
