EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time during the opulent James Hazen Hyde Ball in New York on January 31,1905. The group portrait features Mr. Barton Willing, Miss Alice Blight, Miss Eleanor Jay (later known as Mrs. Arthur Iselin), Miss Therese Iselin, and another unidentified man. The guests are dressed to impress in elaborate costumes that reflect the event's c18th French motif. The women don fancy dresses with breeches and accessorize with fans and hats adorned with feathers. They exude elegance and sophistication in their white tie attire. The men also embrace the theme of decadence, wearing formal suits complete with chokers around their necks. Their presence adds an air of elite charm to the gathering. As one gazes at this silver gelatin print from the Byron Company, it is impossible not to be transported back to a time when society events were grandiose affairs filled with beauty and extravagance. However, behind this glamorous façade lies a tale of scandal and downfall. James Hazen Hyde himself was accused of being too frivolous to run an insurance company shortly after this lavish ball took place. Nevertheless, this photograph serves as a testament to the gilded age of America's past - a fleeting moment frozen in time where wealth met decadence amidst stunning beauty spotlit by photography techniques.
