Printed address, in poster form, by the Presidents of the China Moslem Literary Society of Shanghai, and the Moslem Board of Education of Shanghai, 'To his Most Gracious Majesty King Farouk I of Egypt'.

On one side of a piece of shiny art paper, 39 x 43 cm. The printed part is clear and entire, on creased and aged paper with chipping to extremities. The typography is a curious mixture, with the heading in gothic, and the fourteen-line address and the rest of the text in sansserif. A decorative picture-frame border extends around the sides and foot. Ornate initial and vertical decorative band to left-hand margin of text. To the right of the names of the two signatories are Chinese characters. On behalf of their organisations they 'express our heartfelt joy at the delightful news of your Majesty's engagement and marriage in the near future'. 'The hearts of the Chinese Moslems have already been gladdened by your Majesty's accession to the throne of Egypt, [...] we venture to offer a humble token, in Chinese workmanship and style, of our homage and respect, through our delegate, Haji Noor Muhammed [...] may your Majesty's Dynasty rule over Egypt for ever and ever.'
