EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, published in The Sketch in May 1929, captures a group of bright young things embracing the allure of an anonymous Watteau-themed party. The enigmatic event, which took place in the heart of London, was in fact masterminded by Heather Pilkington and Olivia Wyndham. Among the attendees, dressed in elaborate 18th-century costumes, were a vibrant assortment of society figures. Actor Charles Laughton, known for his powerful stage presence, donned a sumptuous velvet coat and powdered wig, while author Godfrey Winn, a renowned wit, added a touch of literary charm in his elegant attire. Hermione Baddeley, Mrs David Tennant, graced the occasion with her radiant beauty, and Barbara Ker Seymer, a celebrated photographer, captured the evening's magic through her lens. Doris Langley Moore, a socialite and hostess, and Sir Michael Bruce, a prominent figure in London's artistic circle, completed the eclectic guest list. Guests were instructed to embark on the theme of Cytherea, the goddess of love, and the result was a fantastical evening filled with fancy dress, laughter, and merriment. The Watteau-inspired decor, with its pastel hues and flowing fabrics, created an ethereal atmosphere that transported guests to another era. This photograph serves as a testament to the spirit of creativity and camaraderie that defined London's social scene in the late 1920s.
