An elaborate - spanning the whole width of one newspaper page and incorporating a picture designed of gentlemen raising glasses for toasts around a table in a marquee-like venue - advertisement for this event was published by Mercy’s Anzeiger 31/12/1854. The informative substance of the source announced: ’Friendly Invitation to the Sylvester Evening... Caffee Tempel Zeltnergasse [Celetná ulice]. Music from 4pm until early morning.’ A poem was included in the advertisment extolling the content of the occasion and the victuals on offer: ‘Lass’t uns frohe Lieder singen, Und die Gläser hell erklingen, Füllet Alle den Pokal! Denn das fühlt ihr, werthe Gäste, Eierpunsch und Čaj sind’s Beste, Hier bei dem Sylvestermahl.’ The extent of the musical entertainment was not specified except for the allusion to song.
