Grand fancy bazaar at Orleans House, Twickenham, in aid of the French Société de Bienfaisance, 1864. Creator: Unknown
Grand fancy bazaar at Orleans House, Twickenham, in aid of the French Societe de Bienfaisance, 1864. This society was formed in 1812...for the purpose of affording relief to unfortunate Frenchmen in London, without distinction of religious faith or political opinion...The existing president of the society is the Duke d'Aumale [owner of Orleans House]. The society allows weekly payments in money, clothing, and food, and grants passage-money to those French subjects who are desirous of returning to their country; it also advances money to those who wish to exercise their profession or trade in England. The society has already distributed more than £12,000 sterling...The stalls were held by her Royal Highness the Duchess of Chartres, her Royal Highness the Duchess d'Aumale, the Duchess of St. Albans, the Marchioness of Ely, the Countess of Tankerville, the Countess of Waldegrave, and Lady Proby. An elegant marquee had been erected on the lawn in front of the house, with tricolour oriflammes, which also lined the road up to the grounds. The chief attraction was the stall of the Duchess d'Aumale, where the venerable Queen Amelie remained for some time. The weather was pleasant, and a numerous concourse of visitors enjoyed this lively scene'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

Elegance and Philanthropy: A Grand Fancy Bazaar at Orleans House, Twickenham (1864)
In this print, a grand fancy bazaar unfolds on the lawn of Orleans House in Twickenham. The event was held in aid of the French Société de Bienfaisance, a charitable organization founded in 1812 to provide relief to unfortunate Frenchmen living in London. With its picturesque setting and vibrant atmosphere, this gathering brought together some of society's most esteemed ladies - including Her Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Chartres and d'Aumale, as well as other noblewomen.
The stalls were a sight to behold, with elegant displays and tricolour oriflammes adding a touch of French flair. The highlight was undoubtedly the stall run by the Duchess d'Aumale herself, where Queen Amelie made an appearance. On this pleasant day in 1864, visitors flocked to enjoy the lively scene, united by their support for a noble cause.
This print captures not only the beauty and charm of Orleans House but also the generosity and compassion that defined those who attended this grand fancy bazaar.
