Summary
A partial front page from a newspaper. The masthead is missing, all bar the edition number 12,882. In the 'Today' column on the reverse is 'The Queen reviews War Ships at Spithead, 3. Illumination of Fleet, 9.30.' Several of the adverts on the front are relating to sightseeing trips from Southsea, Portsmouth and Southampton to see the Naval Review, suggesting that this is the front page of The Times of London for 23rd of July 1887, the day of Queen Victoria's Jubilee Naval Review at Spithead.
