This print captures the lively atmosphere of "A Ball at Theropia" an engraving by the English School in the 19th century. The image, part of a private collection, showcases a grand society event filled with elegance and excitement. In this scene, representatives from various military branches, including the British Navy and Army, gather together to celebrate. Old people engage in animated conversations while enjoying their temperance drinks. Decorations adorn the ballroom as officers and their chaperones gracefully dance to enchanting music. The arrival of Madam adds an air of anticipation as she is introduced to members of Her Majesty's Navy. The blue ribbon worn by one officer suggests his affiliation with naval forces. Meanwhile, a group engages in a friendly game of lawn tennis on the nearby grounds. Notably, German culture is also represented at this gathering, with participants from Germany and other European nations joining in on the festivities. This inclusion highlights international camaraderie during these times.
