Society Snapshots at Ascot, 1921: A Glimpse into the Jazz Age's Social Scene Step back in time to the Roaring Twenties and join us for a day at the races at Ascot, London, as captured in this Society Snapshot from 1921. The photo features an array of prominent figures from the age of jazz, ageing elegantly amidst the excitement of the Hunt Cup race. At the heart of the scene, we find Lorne Horne, a dashing figure in his racing attire, perhaps enjoying a flutter on the horses. Nearby, the Hunt Cup race unfolds, with jockeys and their mounts in a thrilling sprint towards the finish line. But the true highlight of this Society Snapshot is the regal presence of the Royal Family. King George V and Queen Mary, the Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII), and Princess Mary grace the scene with their sophisticated charm and poise. Their attendance at Ascot was a testament to the social significance of the event during the 1920s. Among the other noteworthy attendees are General Pitcairn-Campbell, an esteemed military figure, and the enigmatic Rosita Forbes, an intrepid author and explorer. Adding to the vibrant atmosphere are the stylish Miss D Erlanger and Miss Gellibrand, their fashionable attire reflecting the era's flapper spirit. This Society Snapshot offers a glimpse into the world of the 1920s social scene, where jazz, age, and the thrill of the races came together in a whirlwind of elegance and excitement. Experience the magic of this bygone era through the lens of this photograph.
