EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Fancy Quadrille representing the Flowers of the Months" takes us back to a lavish ball held at Williss Rooms in 19th century England. The event was organized to support the Ventnor Cottage Hospital for Consumption, a noble cause that brought together high society members and philanthropists. In this lively scene, we witness an elegant parlour game known as the Fancy Quadrille. Players dressed in exquisite period costumes gracefully move across the dance floor, each representing one of the twelve months with their floral attire. The vibrant colors and intricate details of their outfits add an enchanting touch to this artistic portrayal. The atmosphere is filled with excitement as participants engage in this delightful pastime. The game not only showcases their refined manners but also serves as a means of social interaction and entertainment during such grand occasions. This print, published in The Graphic on July 26,1873, offers us a glimpse into a bygone era where society events were not only about glamour but also about supporting charitable causes. It reminds us of how art can capture moments that transcend time and allow us to appreciate both history and beauty simultaneously.
