EDITORS COMMENTS
A delightful photograph capturing the enchanting scene of children dressed in elaborate costumes for the Mansion House Ball in 1912. The image features a group of young participants, each donning impressive and intricately designed outfits that reflect various themes from history and mythology. At the center, Miss Kathleen d'Hertz is seen as a vivandiere, her costume adorned with flowers and feathers, exuding an air of grace and playfulness. Master Devenish embodies the grandeur of ancient Rome as an emperor, his regal attire complete with a golden laurel wreath and a majestic cloak. Master George Nestle transforms into St. George, the brave knight, wearing a shining armor and holding a sword, ready to slay the dragon and save the maiden. Miss Rosie Shiers captivates as the Delhi Durbar, her elegant sari and jeweled headdress reflecting the rich culture and history of India. Two children, Master Jack Sackville Evans and Miss Daphne Jennings, appear twice in the photograph, dressed as the Little Princes in the Tower. In their first outfit, they are seen wearing Tudor-inspired clothing, complete with crowns and robes. In their second appearance, they don simpler, more humble attire, symbolizing their tragic fate. This charming photograph, taken by ILN - Consolidated Archive Holdings Ltd, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of children's fancy dress parties and the imaginative ways they transported themselves to different times and places.
