EDITORS COMMENTS
Egyptian Hall at 170-173 Piccadilly, London, circa 1860: A Grand Victorian Banquet The Egyptian Hall, located at the heart of London's Piccadilly, was a popular attraction for Victorians seeking a glimpse into the exotic wonders of ancient Egypt. Built in 1812, the Egyptian Hall was renowned for its impressive collection of Egyptian antiquities, which drew visitors from all corners of the British Empire. This photograph captures the interior of the Egyptian Hall on the occasion of a grand banquet, circa 1860. The room is adorned with intricate Egyptian motifs, from the ornate columns to the hieroglyphics etched into the walls. The air is thick with the aroma of rich, savory dishes, as guests recline on plush velvet seats, their faces illuminated by the warm glow of flickering candles. The banquet table, laden with an array of sumptuous delicacies, dominates the center of the room. A roasted pig, draped in crispy crackling and bedecked with fruits and vegetables, takes pride of place, surrounded by an assortment of dishes, from succulent roasts and savory pies to delicate pastries and sweet desserts. The guests, dressed in their finest Victorian attire, engage in animated conversation, their laughter and merriment echoing through the grand hall. The atmosphere is one of opulence and indulgence, a fitting celebration of the Victorian fascination with all things Egyptian. This photograph offers a tantalizing glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the allure of ancient Egypt held the British public in thrall, and grand banquets were a cherished way to celebrate the wonders of the world around them.
