See Mackenzie s entry in the Oxford DNB. Gauntlett was later appointed Professor of Cello at the Royal Academy of Music. See Sir Anthony Lewis s appreciative Times obituary. 2pp, 4to. On bifolium of good paper, with letterhead printed in black with the College s arms in red. A very good facsimile of Mackenzie s autograph and signature, with twenty-five lines of text. Addressed in manuscript to A. Gauntlett, Esq. / 12 Fairholme Road / W Kensington / W. Begins: You will doubtless have heard of our intention to celebrate the centenary of the R. A. M. next July by a week of musical festivities under direct Royal Patronage. So much interest and desire to participate in the movement has been expressed by our old students that we are led to believe that many of them would be willing - if able - to play with the orchestra at one or both of the Concerts which we intend giving. It would be a crowning Triumph to our demonstration if we could muster an orchestra entirely composed of artists trained in the Institution, performing works written by Academicians and led by conductors educated in the R. A. M. Details are given of two intended concerts.
Publicado por Menu from Pagani's Restaurant London. Dated by Mackenzie 4 November, 1909

Manuscrito Ejemplar firmado
Attractive menu, printed in black and gold, on card bifolium, folding into two 8 x 17 cm. panels, partly detached. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn. Calligraphic design, with 'Pagani's' printed in gilt on the cover, and the menu itself on the recto of the second leaf, facing some calligraphic flourishes on the verso of the first leaf. The two inscriptions are both in pencil, mainly on the recto of the second leaf but with the second extending somewhat onto the facing page. The upper of the two, signed by 'A. C. Mackenzie', is dated 4 November 1909, and carries a bar of music ('Benedictus') and the inscription: 'Long life and happiness to H. Finck.' The second, signed 'J. Mackenzie Rogan', also has a bar of music, with the inscription 'Many happy returns'. Someone (presumably Finck) has made a pun in pencil on the facing page, by adding the words 'meet at Pagani's' to the heading 'Menu' (i.e. 'Men you meet at Pagani's'). Finck's 'In the Shadows' was one of the last tunes played as RMS Titanic went down.
