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.
Upstairs, The Wheatsheaf, 25 Rathbone Place, London W1T 1JB
