EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the jubilant atmosphere of the Victory Ball held at the Royal Albert Hall in November 1918, marking the end of the First World War. The top row of this distinguished assembly includes Colonel Haddo, an unidentified gentleman, Lady Diana Manners (later Cooper, dressed as Britannia), Sir John Lavery, Lady Hazel Lavery, and General Brancker. The bottom row features Lady Mainwaring and Captain Straker of the Irish Guards, Lady Lisburne (formerly Regina de Bittencourt, sporting a particularly flamboyant headdress), Count Raben-Levetzau, representing the Danish Legation in London, and Mrs Montague. The grandeur and opulence of the event are reflected in the elegant costumes and the radiant smiles of the attendees. This historical image serves as a testament to the unity and resilience of society during a time of great turmoil and the collective relief and joy that followed the signing of the Armistice. The Victory Ball at the Royal Albert Hall was a symbol of hope and a celebration of peace, bringing together prominent members of society and notable personalities to commemorate the end of the Great War.
