EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment of opulence and elegance during the Gilded Age in America. The group portrait features prominent figures from high society, including Sydney Dillon Ripley, Mrs. J. T. Burden, Mrs. Wm. Jay, Benjamin Nicol, and Col. Wm. Jay at the James Hazen Hyde Ball in New York on January 31,1905. The image showcases the extravagant costumes worn by the attendees as they embrace the c18th French motif of the ballroom event held at Sherrys Hotel. The women are adorned with exquisite gowns and tiaras while holding delicate fans that add an air of sophistication to their appearance. James Hazen Hyde himself was an American millionaire socialite who inherited majority shares in Equitable Life Assurance Society, known for his lavish lifestyle and opulent parties like this one. His New Year's Eve celebration filled two ballrooms with guests reveling in decadence. The silver gelatin print perfectly captures the formal atmosphere of this elite gathering during a time when wealth and extravagance were celebrated among America's upper class. This photograph is now housed at the Museum of the City of New York where it serves as a testament to a bygone era characterized by grandeur and excesses that defined America's Gilded Age society.
