Shows Wellington Savage Club members dressed in cloaks and grass skirts, assembled on beach with Chief Savage (Professor Thomas Hill Easterfield) making a speech. Macbeth may appear as artist at left, with the Club treasurer (George Toogood) to the right of him. One member reads "The king of the fortunate isles" (not listed in ATL pre-1984 catalogue, although William Pember Reeves wrote "The fortunate isles" in 1897).
