EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches of the Fancy Dress Ball at Liverpool" takes us back to a lively and seasonable event in 1881. The engraving, created by Harry Furniss and featured in The Illustrated London News, beautifully captures the vibrant atmosphere of this extravagant ball. In this enchanting scene, we see an array of characters from different walks of life donning their elaborate costumes. From Blue Beard to Portia, from a cheeky nursery favorite to a Lancashire lad, each individual brings their own unique flair to the occasion. French culture is also represented with figures like Friar Tuck and Olivette adding an international touch. The attendees are seen mingling and enjoying themselves amidst grand decorations and society events. Some engage in lawn tennis matches while others sip on cups of tea or strike up conversations with fellow guests. The Cheeryble Brothers can be spotted engaging in animated conversation while half-fierce boycotters make their presence known. This print not only showcases the creativity and imagination that went into these fancy dress outfits but also provides us with a glimpse into the social fabric of Liverpool during that time period. It serves as a delightful reminder of how such gatherings brought people together for merriment and celebration. With its attention to detail and vivid portrayal, this print truly transports us back in time, allowing us to relish in the joyous spirit that filled those unforgettable nights at the Fancy Dress Ball at Liverpool.
