The Rainer Family (Felix, Anton, Maria, Joseph & Franz) specialised in vocal harmonies, including yodelling. They are credited with the premier performance of 'Silent Night' in the Tyrol in 1819. Turning professional they toured extensively from 1824, visiting Britain in 1827 and performing for George the Fourth, who presented these costumes to them, before touring the United States in the 1830s. They disbanded in 1838.

[Recruitment campaign 1914-6] Buckingham Palace. To My People. At this grave moment in the struggle between my people and a highly organised enemy who has transgressed the Laws of Nations and changed the ordinance that binds civilized Europe together, I appeal to you. I rejoice in my Empire's effort, and I feel pride in the voluntary response from my Subjects all over the world who have sacrificed home, fortune, and life itself, in order that another may not inherit the free Empire which their ancestors and mine have built. I ask you to make good these sacrifices. The end is not in sight. More men and yet more are wanted to keep my Armies in the Field, and through them to secure Victory and enduring Peace. In ancient days the darkest moment has ever produced in our race the sternest resolve. I ask you, men of all classes, to come forward voluntarily and take your share in the fight. In freely responding to my appeal, you will be giving your support to our brothers, who, for long months, have nobly upheld Britain's past traditions, and the glory of her Arms. George R.I.
