1. Title: "A Regal Evening at the Florida Birthday Ball: The Marquis and Marchioness of Milford Haven" This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the essence of glamour and high society at the Florida Birthday Ball held at the Dorchester Hotel in London on June 16, 1934. The Marquis and Marchioness of Milford Haven, David George Lascelles, 6th Earl of Harewood, and Nada (Nadejda) Balfour, Countess of Harewood, are depicted in the image, their regal presence commanding attention as they watch the cabaret performance with rapt fascination. The Marquis and Marchioness of Milford Haven were among the most prominent figures in British society during the 1930s. The Marquis, David George Lascelles, was the eldest son of the 5th Earl of Harewood and grandson of Queen Mary. He was also the nephew of King George V and Prince Albert, Duke of York (later King George VI and the Duke of Edinburgh, respectively). The Marchioness, Nada Balfour, was the daughter of the 3rd Earl of Balfour and a granddaughter of the 7th Earl of Derby. The couple's elegant attire, with the Marchioness wearing a stunning gown and the Marquis in a formal suit, reflects the opulence and grandeur of the occasion. The photograph, taken by renowned British artist and illustrator Molly Bishop for The Bystander magazine, captures the essence of the couple's refined sophistication and their enjoyment of the lively cabaret performance. The Florida Birthday Ball was an annual event held in honor of the Duke of York, who was born on June 14, 1900. The Dorchester Hotel, a symbol of luxury and elegance, provided the perfect backdrop for this glamorous gathering, attracting the cream of British high society. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the bygone era of grand balls and regal splendor.
