The Gordon Memorial Ball at the Hotel Cecil, between the dances
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a moment of elegance and grandeur in London's historical past. This lithograph print by Frank Craig takes us back to February 11,1899, when high society gathered at the prestigious Hotel Cecil for an unforgettable evening. In this enchanting scene, we see guests mingling and enjoying a brief respite from the lively dances that fill the ballroom. The atmosphere is one of sophistication and refinement as men in dapper tuxedos converse with elegantly dressed women adorned in exquisite gowns. The opulent surroundings of the hotel serve as a fitting backdrop for this glamorous affair. The Gordon Memorial Ball was not just any social event; it held special significance as a tribute to General Charles George Gordon, who had tragically lost his life during the Siege of Khartoum in Sudan. The ball aimed to honor his memory while raising funds for various charitable causes close to his heart. Frank Craig's meticulous attention to detail brings every element of this scene to life – from the ornate chandeliers casting a warm glow on the festivities below, to the intricate patterns on each dancer's attire. Through this lithograph print, we are transported back in time and given a glimpse into an era defined by grace and splendor. This artwork serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and a poignant reminder of London's rich cultural heritage. It reminds us that even amidst societal events and celebrations, there lies an opportunity
