EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print transports us back in time to the historic Plantagenet Ball, held at Buckingham Palace in May 1842. The grand event, also known as the Bal Masque, was attended by Queen Victoria and her beloved husband, Prince Albert. For this special occasion, the royal couple chose to dress up as King Edward III and his queen, Philippa of Hainault. The elegant and opulent scene is filled with an array of guests, all dressed in elaborate historical costumes, adding to the grandeur and festive atmosphere of the evening. The guests, who were all members of the royal court, are seen mingling and enjoying the festivities, their faces illuminated by the soft glow of the candlelight. The Plantagenet Ball was a popular tradition that had been revived by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, who were known for their love of history and their commitment to preserving the rich cultural heritage of the monarchy. The masque, which was held in the grand State Rooms of Buckingham Palace, was a chance for the royals and their guests to step back in time and celebrate the history of the Plantagenet dynasty. This photograph print is a rare and fascinating glimpse into the world of the Victorian royal court, offering a unique insight into the grandeur and elegance of a bygone era. The intricate costumes, the opulent setting, and the joyous expressions of the guests all combine to create a captivating and unforgettable image that transports us back to the Plantagenet Ball at Buckingham Palace in 1842.
