a bit of a party

some disco lanterns
tea and cake - music perhaps 
old chinoiserie

This image is by Paul Frenzeny.
It was published in Harpers Weekly Magazine in 1877.
It depicts a Chinese reception in a San Francisco restaurant with an orchestra of musicians and Chinese lanterns.

A copy of it is for sale on ebay here:
