The Children's Fancy Dress Ball at the Mansion House, 7 January 1896
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a delightful moment in time when children from all walks of life came together to celebrate and showcase their creativity. This lithographic print, created by Amedee Forestier and featured in The Illustrated London News, transports us back to a grand society event that took place over a century ago. In this enchanting scene, we see an array of young boys and girls adorned in elaborate costumes representing various cultures and characters. From Japanese-inspired attire to regal gowns fit for princesses, each child exudes joy and excitement as they mingle with one another under the opulent roof of the Mansion House. Amongst them are Master Allan Leslie, Master Walter A Beckett, Miss Marie Lee, Miss Mabel Davies, and many others whose names have become lost in history but whose spirits live on through this image. Their youthful energy fills the room as they dance and laugh together. This engraving not only serves as a visual record of an extravagant social gathering but also reminds us of the timeless innocence and wonderment that childhood brings. It is a testament to the power of imagination and community spirit that transcends generations. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but be captivated by these children who embraced fantasy with open hearts while leaving behind their worries for just one magical evening at the turn of the 19th century.
