EDITORS COMMENTS
A Novel Idea for Charity: An Enchanting Pre-World War One Midnight Ball at The Savoy in 1914 This photograph transports us back to a bygone era, showcasing an extraordinary charity event that took place at The Savoy on the 25th of June in 1914. The event, a Midnight Ball in aid of The National Institute for the Blind, was an innovative fusion of fashion, philanthropy, and excitement. The photograph is a testament to the elegance and glamour of the time, with an array of fashionable women adorned in their finest attire. The costumes on display are a delightful mix of the traditional and the modern, with some donning elegant evening gowns and feathered hats, while others opt for more daring sports blouses and shorter frocks. The unique twist to this charity event was the lucky-dip ticket system. Each attendee purchased a ticket for a chance to win an extravagant prize. The grand prize was a Daimler motor-car valued at 600, or one of the beautiful dresses or pieces of jewellery on display, worth a total of 3000 pounds. The excitement in the room is palpable as the women eagerly anticipate the drawing of the winning ticket. The evening was not only an opportunity to raise funds for a worthy cause but also a chance to indulge in the latest fashion trends and enjoy an evening of elegance and refinement. This photograph is a captivating reminder of a time when charity events were not only about raising funds but also about bringing people together to celebrate and make a difference in their community. The fashionable women of 1914, with their stunning hats, feathers, and elegant gowns, continue to inspire us today with their timeless beauty and grace.
