Elegance at the Embassy Club by Mundo, 1929
An impression by Mundo of the dance floor at the Embassy Club at supper-time with a number of well-known people. On the left of the dance floor is Sir Francis Oppenheimer dancing with a partner in a green dress, next to them, and slightly in the foreground, are Mr Alfredo Pena Unzne and Lady Ashley, whilst the Hon. Wilfred Egerton is seen in the background. Immediately behind the table are Mr and Mrs Augustin Edwards, with the smiling lawn tennis star, Jean Borotra, dancing with a partner in white a little to the right and next to the monocle Sir Cecil Beck and Lady Beck. M. and Mme. Dubonnet (better known as Mrs Nash of " the best-dressed woman in the world" fame) are the next couple, and on the right are Mr Arturo Rubinstein and partner next to the presiding genius, Luigi. At the table Mrs Jack Williams and Mrs Godfrey Miller sit at supper with Mr Lionel Mander, the picture being completed by the presence of no less a celebrity than Jackson, the Clubs black cat.

EDITORS COMMENTS
by Mundo, 1929: A Timeless Image of Glamour and Sophistication This photograph print by Mundo, titled "Elegance at the Embassy Club," transports us back to the golden age of the Roaring Twenties, an era of glamour, sophistication, and excitement. The image captures the essence of the Embassy Club at supper-time, where London's elite gathered to dance, dine, and socialize. On the left of the dance floor, Sir Francis Oppenheimer gracefully waltzes with a partner in a green gown. Nearby, Mr. Alfredo Pena Unzne and Lady Ashley engage in animated conversation, while the Hon. Wilfred Egerton observes the scene from the background. Behind the table, Mr. and Mrs. Augustin Edwards share a moment, their smiles reflecting the joy of the evening. The lawn tennis star, Jean Borotra, is seen dancing with a partner in white, adding to the lively atmosphere. Sir Cecil Beck and Lady Beck, with their elegant attire, are next, followed by M. and Mme. Dubonnet, better known as Mrs. Nash, the famous "best-dressed woman in the world." To the right, Mr. Arturo Rubinstein and his partner share a dance, their passion for music evident in their movements. Luigi, the presiding genius, looks on approvingly. Mrs. Jack Williams and Mrs. Godfrey Miller sit at supper, their elegant table settings adding to the opulence of the scene. The photograph is completed by the presence of no less a celebrity than Jackson, the Embassy Club's black cat, who casually lounges on the edge of the dance floor. This enchanting image encapsulates the essence of the Roaring Twenties, a time of elegance, sophistication, and unforgettable moments.
