The Front Cover of The Tatler, March 17, 1912: A Grand Fancy Dress Masque at Taplow Court The March 17, 1912 issue of The Tatler showcases an enchanting photograph of a fancy dress masque organized by the esteemed Ettie, Lady Desborough, at her magnificent Taplow Court residence. The image, which graces the front cover of the magazine, captures the exotic and alluring atmosphere of the event, as society's elite donned elaborate and intricately designed costumes inspired by the East. At the heart of the photograph lies Rosemary Levenson-Gower, the radiant daughter of Millicent, Duchess of Sutherland. Dressed as a captivating Turkish lady, she embodies the mystique and allure of the Orient, her vibrant attire adorned with intricate beadwork and rich fabrics. Her enchanting presence is further accentuated by her striking headdress, which adds an air of regality and sophistication to her ensemble. Beside Rosemary stands Lady Desborough's elder daughter, Monica Grenfell, who portrays a Persian musician. Monica's costume is equally mesmerizing, with its ornate embroidery and elaborate headpiece adorned with flowers and feathers. Her expression is one of pure delight, as she plays her instrument, adding to the enchanting musical ambiance of the masque. The photograph encapsulates the essence of the aristocratic society of the time, where grand events such as these provided an opportunity for the elite to showcase their wealth, creativity, and sense of adventure. The exotic costumes, the opulent setting, and the joyous expressions of the guests all contribute to a scene of pure enchantment, making for a truly memorable moment in the annals of society history.
