EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1910, we witness the arrival of Mrs Fagan, a renowned Chelsea artist, at the grand Chelsea Arts Club costume ball. The scene is nothing short of extraordinary as she makes her entrance in a traditional sedan chair, carried by two notable figures - Mr Jack, an esteemed portrait painter, and Mr W Macbeth, another talented artist. What sets this spectacle apart is their attire; both men are dressed as Abyssinians, adding an exotic touch to the already extravagant event. The venue for this remarkable gathering is none other than the iconic Albert Hall in England. This particular ball holds significant historical importance as it was considered the largest fancy-dress event ever held in the country during that time period. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to a moment when art and creativity merged with opulence and extravagance. The fusion of artistic talent and imaginative costumes creates an atmosphere filled with anticipation and wonderment. This print not only captures a unique moment but also serves as a testament to the vibrant arts community that thrived within Chelsea during those years. It allows us to glimpse into a world where artists pushed boundaries not only through their creations but also through their bold expressions of personal style. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints and brought back to life by Daily Mirror's archives, this image invites us to appreciate history while celebrating individuality and artistic spirit.
