Fancy-dress ball in aid of St. Ann's Dispensary, at St, George's Hall, Liverpool, 1864. Creator: Unknown
Fancy-dress ball in aid of St. Ann's Dispensary, at St, George's Hall, Liverpool, 1864. Engraving from a sketch by Mr. Woods, representing...the Grand Fancy-Dress Ball which took place on Tuesday week, in St. George's Hall, in aid of the funds of St. Ann's Dispensary, in that town. The architecture and permanent decorations of St. George's Hall must be well known to our readers from the Engravings we have published on some former occasions. The scene here depicted is full of animation, and the varieties of costume afford great scope for a learned fancy. In the middle of the foreground we see a British Admiral, arm-in-arm with Britannia herself, to whom Sir Walter Raleigh is just making his bow. A West India planter, with light coat and broad-brimmed straw hat, a Chinese, a courtier of the age of Louis XIV. a Spanish matador, an Indian chief, and other national or historical characters, in grotesque combination, may be discovered in this motley crowd. The gentleman in Hungarian costume, to the left hand, is a likeness of our artist himself'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
**A Night to Remember: Fancy-Dress Ball for St. Ann's Dispensary**
In this vibrant print, a night of revelry and charity comes alive at St. George's Hall in Liverpool, 1864. The "Grand Fancy- Dress Ball" was held in aid of the funds of St. Ann's Dispensary, with all proceeds going towards supporting those in need.
The scene is set amidst the grand architecture and permanent decorations of St. George's Hall, which must have been familiar to readers from previous engravings. The atmosphere pulses with energy as a diverse cast of characters takes center stage. From left to right, we see a British Admiral strolling arm-in-arm with Britannia herself; Sir Walter Raleigh making his bow; and an array of national and historical figures in elaborate costume.
Look closely and you'll spot a West Indian planter, a Chinese dignitary, a courtier from the age of Louis XIV., a Spanish matador, an Indian chief, and many more. Even our artist himself is represented in Hungarian attire to the left-hand side! This whimsical gathering embodies the spirit of charity and merriment that brought together Liverpool's society for one unforgettable night.
This print offers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century social events, where fashion, fun, and philanthropy converged. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of community-driven initiatives like St. Ann's Dispensary, which continues to make a difference in people's lives today.
