EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the roaring twenties at the Annual Chelsea Arts Ball, an event renowned for its creative flair and exuberant spirit. The image is populated with a lively group of revellers, dressed in elaborate and fantastical costumes, each adding to the visual feast. At the heart of the scene, we find two well-known illustrators of the time, Howard Elcock (number 8) and Helen McKie (number 6), both of whom were regular contributors to The Bystander magazine. Elcock, a talented painter, is seen in the company of his wife, Mrs. Howard Elcock (number 9), while McKie is accompanied by the charming Captain A. Mills (number 2). The group is further graced by the presence of Major Blackwell (number 3), Mr. H.C.B. Whinney (number 4), Lady Dorothy Mills (number 5), Mr. Ernest Still (number 10), Mrs. Ernest Still (number 11), Miss D Grey (number 12), and Melville Gideon (number 1). The diverse mix of individuals, all dressed in their most elaborate and imaginative costumes, adds to the whimsical atmosphere of the event. The Chelsea Arts Ball was a much-anticipated occasion, providing an opportunity for artists, writers, and other creative individuals to come together and celebrate their shared passion for the arts. This photograph serves as a fascinating glimpse into the world of the twenties, a time of creativity, fun, and unbridled expression. Date: 1924
