EDITORS COMMENTS
The 'Atalanta' Fete at Kensington House captures a vibrant scene of joyous festivities in 19th century London. This exquisite engraving, created by the English School, transports us to a time when grand fetes were the epitome of social elegance and entertainment. In this bustling image, we witness the arrival of distinguished guests alongside their wives, eagerly anticipating an evening filled with excitement and merriment. The air is abuzz with anticipation as sailors distribute prizes near the picturesque boat house, while buttonhole flowers adorn lapels and add a touch of color to the scene. The Countess of Lonsdale graces us with her presence on the terrace, overlooking the enchanting lake where sailboats gracefully glide through calm waters. A refreshment bar offers respite for weary dancers and strollers alike, while stalls manned by Miss Brassey and other notable figures sell everything from cigars to cigarettes. Notable attendees include Princess Christian's stall and Duchess of Teck's stall, adding regal charm to this already splendid affair. Mrs. Langtry enchants visitors at Lady Borthwick's Wheel of Fortune booth, while Mrs. Cornwallis West adds her own allure to Jack Beauty's Bower. This print not only showcases an era steeped in opulence but also serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of celebration that transcends time.
