EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the renowned English travel writer and aesthete, Robert Byron, transforms into an ethereal Victorian angel at the extravagant 1860-themed party hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Bryan Guiness in 1929. The image, a testament to the exuberant spirit of the 1920s and the fashionable obsession with historical reenactment, showcases Byron's flair for the dramatic and his ability to immerse himself fully in a role. Dressed in an intricately designed, white, floor-length angel costume, complete with gossamer wings, a halo, and ornate halos on his feet, Byron embodies the otherworldly and divine. His piercing gaze, accentuated by his dark, intense eyes and thick, curled eyelashes, adds an enigmatic allure to the image. The delicate lace collar and cuffs of his shirt, paired with a crisp, white cravat, further emphasize the Victorian era's refined elegance. The party, held at the height of the Jazz Age, was a popular trend among the affluent society of the 1920s. Guests donned elaborate costumes, transporting themselves back in time to celebrate the opulence and grandeur of the Victorian era. The 1860-themed party was no exception, with guests adorned in intricate gowns, top hats, and various historical costumes. This photograph not only captures the essence of a bygone era but also highlights the captivating and enigmatic persona of Robert Byron. His transformation into a Victorian angel serves as a reminder of the power of imagination and the allure of the past, making this image a truly captivating and intriguing glimpse into the past.
