I think I need to do some more research...
This is the info from the paper that day, note the African exhibition was at that address, haven't managed to find any other info on it though yet. Also on a unrelated note, there was an article on the founding of Canterbury(christchurch) settlement in NZ my home town!
September 14th
An eight page issue price sixpence.
It features articles with prints from engravings including
* 'The Late attack upon Marshal Haynau at Messrs Barclay and Perkins's Brewery - The Coal Cellar at The George, Bankside - The Bedroom in Which Marshall Haynau was Concealed - Escape of Marshal Haynau in The Police Galley' (front page),
* 'The Synod at Thurles in Co Tipperary - The Bishops Robing - The Procession from the College to The Cathedral', 'The Right Rev. Dr. M'Hale, Archbishop of Tuam', 'Sitting of The Synod',
* 'The French President in The Rue St. Jean, at Caen', 'Grand Ball at Caen', 'Sketch en Route to Cherbourg', 'The President en Route to Cherbourg', 'Harbour and Town of Cherbourg', 'The French Squadron in Position at Cherbourg', 'The Royal Yacht Squadron Saluting the French Squadron - sketched by the Hon. Dudley Pelham', 'Ships' Boat Race at Cherbourg',
* 'The Grand Musical Festival in Gloucester Cathedral', 'Gloucester Cathedral - The Porch',
* 'The African Exhibition at The Cosmorama, Regent Street'
* Obituary of Eminent Persons Recently Deceased including Admiral Robert Dudley Oliver at Dalkey, Dublin, The Rev. James Ingram at Trinity College Oxford, The Very Rev. Holt Waring, Dean of Dromore, Baroness Rothschild at Gunnersbury Park, Ealing, Chief Justice The Rt. Hon. John Doherty',

The Latin text around the poem is a standard dummy text used by the printing and typesetting industry for filler.
See here for info

Is there anything to the date or the Latin on the card? I'm going to ask a friend who speaks Spainish (that's the best I could do in the
Romantic languages dept.) I've never heard of Regent street so I'll try that. Thanks ahead for any help.

Anybody else noticed that the text in the 3rd section of the right hand column is printed backwards?
I don't think there's enough text there for it to mean anything but it's odd none the less!

What process did you use to translate it Nightingale? Simple transposition cipher?

yes my accepted answer was...

Anyone got a confirmed solve on this yet?
My decoding came to the same result, but I've tried several variations of the answer and none have been accepted. I tried:

OUTSIDE THE COSMORAMA, REGENT STREET

Thank you! It's my first solve! (I was slow off the mark with the first wave)
As for your question, not that I know of - I think I just had a 'senior' moment. I also suspect the 'p' at the bottom is an 'x' for a kiss. I got a little confused whilst decoding this one so that's why it's not totally complete. I started it last night and finished it off this morning - correcting all the mistakes I made last night made me a little bit annoyed at myself.
So I just wanted it out of the way as quickly as possible!

Nice solve Nightingale....for completeness, I'd say your ? is a w. Is there some of the code missing in the first post?
Posted: Fri Nov 25, 2005 5:40 am
Nightingale
The decoded message seems to be:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Because of the light of the moon,
silver is found on the moor;
And because of the light of the sun,
there is gold on the ?alls of the poor.
Because of the light of the stars,
planets are found in the stream;
And because of the light of your eyes
there is love in the depths of my dream.
My darling maria, meet me at eight tonight outside the Cosmorama, Regent Street. ?
