THE DUCHESS OF DEVONSHIRE'S PARTY.



A date for your diary's folks.

The New Sheridan Club presents a fantastic talk on August 4th - some time during the evening which runs from 8-11pm.

Evadne Raccat will vent her obsession with “pretty ladies in pretty dresses” with an elaboration of The Duchess of Devonshire’s Ball. Held in 1897, this fancy-dress party, with royal guests of honour, was notable because Lafayette set up a photo booth and made records of many of the costumes, giving an insight into the telling ways that different guests interpreted the code of historical or exotic dress.
