EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the radiant beauty and captivating allure of Frances Evelyn Daisy Greville, Countess of Warwick, as she graces Mrs Adair's Fancy Dress Ball in 1903. Dressed in the opulent costume of Semiramis, the legendary queen of Assyria, Daisy's regal presence is a testament to the elegance and sophistication of the Edwardian aristocracy. Born in 1861, Daisy was a society beauty and a prominent figure in the upper classes of British society. Her striking figure, waist cinched by an intricately bejeweled belt, accentuates her womanly curves and adds to the grandeur of her Semiramis costume. The intricate detailing of the gown, complete with golden headdress and shimmering fabric, further emphasizes her regal status. Daisy's association with the royal family began when she became the mistress of King Edward VII, a relationship that was kept a closely guarded secret at the time. Her connection to the monarch only added to her allure and mystique, making her a figure of fascination for the British public. Mrs Adair's Fancy Dress Ball was a much-anticipated event in the social calendar of the aristocracy and upper classes. Guests donned elaborate costumes, allowing them to momentarily escape the rigid confines of Edwardian society and indulge in a world of fantasy and imagination. Daisy's portrayal of Semiramis, with her regal bearing and captivating beauty, is a testament to the enchanting world of the Edwardian aristocracy and the enduring allure of the past.
