EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant energy of the 1930s dance scene comes to life in this print from Mary Evans Prints Online. Titled "Lady Malcolm's Servants Ball, " it showcases two contrasting dances that were all the rage during that era. In the top portion, we see a lively depiction of the Lambeth Walk, skillfully painted by William Roberts. The dancers' exuberance and synchronized movements capture the spirit of this popular social dance. In stark contrast, at the bottom of the photograph, we witness another iconic dance called the Palais Glide being demonstrated at Lady Malcolm's Servants Ball held at London's prestigious Albert Hall. Lady Malcolm herself takes center stage while her daughter, Lady Bartlett, elegantly joins her in a graceful display of movement and style. What makes this image particularly fascinating is Lady Bartlett's choice not to don fancy dress like other attendees. Her decision highlights her individuality amidst a sea of extravagant costumes and adds an intriguing layer to this already captivating visual narrative. Dating back to 1938, this print offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when dancing was not just an art form but also an expression of joy and freedom. It serves as a reminder that even in times marked by societal constraints, people found solace on the dance floor where they could momentarily escape reality and revel in pure bliss.
