EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "William Arden, 2nd Baron Alvanley; Going to Whites" transports us back to the early 19th century. The print, created by Richard Dighton in 1819, showcases the fashionable and eccentric personality of William Arden, the second Baron Alvanley. In this lively scene, Lord Alvanley is depicted on his way to Whites - a renowned gentlemen's club in London during that era. His flamboyant attire catches our attention immediately. Dressed impeccably in an elaborate ensemble that perfectly reflects his high social status, Lord Alvanley exudes confidence and style. The artist skillfully captures every intricate detail of Lord Alvanley's clothing and accessories. From his top hat adorned with feathers to his intricately patterned waistcoat and tailored coat, it is evident that fashion was of utmost importance for this dandy aristocrat. Dighton's caricature-like portrayal adds a touch of humor to the image as well. With exaggerated facial features and a mischievous smile playing on his lips, Lord Alvanley appears ready for an evening filled with wit and revelry at Whites. This enchanting print not only offers us a glimpse into the sartorial choices of the upper class during this period but also provides insight into their vibrant social lives. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, individuals like Lord Alvanley sought self-expression through fashion while indulging in exclusive clubs where they could mingle with like-minded
