EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time to the grandeur of 19th-century England with this engraving captured in 1848. The scene unfolds within the opulent walls of Buckingham Palace, London, during a state ball that epitomized the refined tastes and social customs of the era. The image showcases an exquisite ballroom adorned with magnificent chandeliers casting a soft glow upon the festivities below. Men dressed in dashing uniforms and women donning lavish ball gowns gracefully twirl across the polished floor, their movements synchronized to the lively rhythm of polka music. Amidst this whirlwind of elegance stands Queen Victoria herself, radiating regal poise as she observes her subjects reveling in merriment. Her presence symbolizes not only her role as monarch but also her endorsement of this popular dance style that swept through high society during her reign. This engraving offers us a glimpse into an upper-class world where fashion was paramount and architecture served as a backdrop for extravagant celebrations.
