Guest in costume for Queen Victorias Bal Costume, May 12 1842, (1843). Creator
Guest in costume for Queen Victorias Bal Costume, May 12 1842, (1843). Man in a cloak with the Maltese cross symbol on his tabard. Members of the Royal Household were expected to wear dress of the Plantagenet period (c1154-1485), although other guests could wear costumes of their own choosing. The costumes were designed under the supervision of James Robinson Planche and were specifically intended to give work to the declining Spitalfields silk industry. The ball of 1842, held at Buckingham Palace in London, was the first of three costume balls held by Queen Victoria and Albert, Prince Consort. The second, on 6 June 1845, was in early Georgian dress, while the third, on 13 June 1851, was in the style of the Restoration. From " Souvenir of the Bal Costume, given by H.M. Queen Victoria at Buckingham Palace, May 12, 1842 / drawings from the original dresses by Coke Smyth; letterpress by J.R. Planche", 1843. [Paul & Dominic Colnaghi & Co, London, 1843]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a guest in costume for Queen Victoria's Bal Costume, held on May 12,1842. The man is elegantly draped in a cloak adorned with the iconic Maltese cross symbol on his tabard. While members of the Royal Household were expected to don dress from the Plantagenet period, this guest had the freedom to choose his own attire. The costumes showcased at this grand event were meticulously designed under the supervision of James Robinson Planche and served a dual purpose. Not only did they transport attendees back in time, but they also aimed to revive the declining Spitalfields silk industry by providing much-needed work. Held at Buckingham Palace in London, this ball marked the first of three remarkable costume balls hosted by Queen Victoria and her beloved Prince Consort Albert. The subsequent events saw guests donning early Georgian dress and Restoration-style garments respectively. This particular image is part of "Souvenir of the Bal Costume" a collection that immortalizes these splendid dresses through drawings by Coke Smyth and letterpress by J. R. Planche. Its intricate details offer us a glimpse into an extravagant era when elegance reigned supreme. As we admire this photograph print today, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also of how artistry can be harnessed to support industries during times of decline.
