Grand Ball at Devonshire House, on Tuesday, 1850: An Exquisite Victorian Anniversary Celebration This photograph print, taken from Illustrated London News in 1850, showcases the Grand Ball at Devonshire House, a grand celebration marking the anniversary of the Duke of Devonshire. With upwards of eight hundred aristocrats in attendance, the Duke extended a warm invitation to London society to commemorate this special occasion. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge graced the event with their presence, adding an extra layer of elegance and prestige. The Grand Ballroom, a long and magnificent apartment, was transformed into a breathtaking setting for the evening's festivities. The architectural feature that takes center stage in this print is the arch, an intricately ornamented structure that connects two rooms. The mode of lighting the great arch is particularly noteworthy, with a series of rose-tinged globe lights illuminating the space, creating a truly beautiful effect. The Duke of Devonshire, William Cavendish (1808-1891), was the seventh in his lineage to bear the title. Devonshire House, a stunning country house in London, played host to many such grand events throughout the 19th century. This engraved print, a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the Victorian era, offers a glimpse into the world of the aristocracy, their social gatherings, and the architectural marvels that graced their homes.
