EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back in time to the grandeur and elegance of a Historical Costume Ball held at Buckingham Palace on 12 May 1842. The artist, Lucien Davis, beautifully captures the essence of this lavish event, showcasing an array of exquisite fancy dress costumes worn by members of high society. At the center of attention stands Her Majesty Queen Victoria herself, transformed into Queen Philippa, Consort of Edward III. Adorned in a resplendent gown with intricate detailing and regal accessories, she epitomizes grace and nobility. Surrounding her are other distinguished guests donning their own elaborate ensembles that reflect different periods in history. The atmosphere is one of opulence and merriment as attendees mingle amidst the grandeur of Buckingham Palace's ballroom. This historical moment not only celebrates fashion but also pays homage to British royalty and its rich heritage. Davis' engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on 13 June 1887, allowing readers to relish in the splendor long after the event had taken place. Preserved through time, this print serves as a window into an era where extravagant balls were social highlights for both aristocracy and commoners alike. With every intricate detail meticulously captured by Davis' skilled hand, this enchanting image transports us back to a night filled with glamour, sophistication, and timeless beauty.
