Peter Marie, Costume Ball captures the opulence and grandeur of a privileged event in 19th century America. This photograph, taken by Jose Maria Mora, showcases the lavishness of high society during this era. The image depicts a group of debutantes elegantly dressed in fancy costumes, their gilded attire reflecting their wealth and status.

The male attendees also radiate affluence with their dapper suits and refined demeanor. This gathering represents the pinnacle of American society at that time - an exclusive world where privilege was celebrated. Mora's photographic skills capture every intricate detail of the elaborate costumes worn by these debutantes. The studio setting adds to the formality of the occasion while emphasizing the importance placed on appearances within this affluent circle.
