Beverage Celebrate Champagne Derby Drown Grief Lost Races Savoy Upper


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the lively and luxurious atmosphere of Derby Night at the Savoy Hotel in London during the early 20th century. The social event, held after the annual Epsom Derby horse race, was a grand tradition in British high society. The image shows a bustling scene filled with elegantly dressed men and women, some celebrating their wins with glasses of champagne raised high, while others, who had lost the race, attempt to drown their grief in the same beverage. The Savoy Hotel, an iconic establishment of upper-class sophistication, played host to this historic event. The year was 1914, a time when the world was on the brink of change, and the elegance and opulence of the Savoy offered a temporary escape from the uncertainties of the century. The photograph presents a fascinating glimpse into the social scenes of the era, showcasing the class divide and the shared experience of the Derby, where both winners and losers could come together to enjoy the festivities. The use of champagne as a symbol of celebration and consolation adds to the allure of the event, making it a fitting representation of the extravagance and indulgence of the time. As we look at this image, we are transported back to a bygone era, where the thrill of the races and the allure of the Savoy Hotel brought together the elite of British society for an unforgettable night of celebration and camaraderie.
