Watercolour of the Ladies’ Smoking Room at the Midland Grand Hotel (now part of the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel in London). It holds historical significance as the first public room in Europe where women were allowed to smoke, introduced in 1898. Originally a reading room, it featured floor-to-ceiling windows and a balcony overlooking St. Pancras Station. The men had the room next door! 
Architecturally, the room is adorned with Gothic Revival details, including grand arches supported by pink granite columns, richly decorated walls and ceilings, and period-appropriate carpets.
