Overview

edit

George, 5th Earl Cadogan

edit
  • “A strong supporter of the 1896 land act [in Ireland] of Gerald Balfour (qv), he helped persuade the treasury to grant more generous terms for tenant purchase than first proposed. He appointed commissions to investigate intermediate (1899) and university education (1901), and sponsored the act of 1899 which established a new department of agriculture, and technical instruction for Ireland. He took a keen interest n industrial and charitable initiatives, and gave financial and moral support to the Cork exhibition of 1901.”[4]
  • Irish Chief Secretary (1900–1905) George “Wyndham claimed that dealing with Cadogan was like ‘speaking through a megaphone with a pudding in its orifice.’”[4]
  • ”Cadogan’s viceroyalty was noted for its munificence, and in April 1900 he hosted Queen Victoria’s visit to Ireland in particularly regal style.”[4]

At the Duchess of Devonshire's fancy-dress ball, Beatrix, Countess Cadogan sat at Table 8 in the first seating for supper.

  • She was dressed as the "Queen of Bohemia, ... in a black velvet gown, the full skirt showing a panel of white satin, studded with pearls and diamonds (worked at Lady Duncannon's school); the bodice was plain, with large puffed sleeves and ruffles of lace, and a large vandyked lace collar. Two rows of pearls encircled the waist, the collar and sleeves were outlined with them, and other rows were festooned across the bodice. Her ornaments were pearl necklace and bracelets and pearls and diamonds in the hair."[9]:p. 3, Col. 3a

A large Vandyked lace collar, two rows of pearls encircling the waist. The collar and sleeves outlined with pearls; other rows festooned across the bodice. Ornaments, pearl necklace and bracelets and pearls and diamonds in the hair.[11]
  • "Her Excellency the Countess Cadogan represented 'Elizabeth,' Queen of Bohemia, daughter of James I, at the fancy ball last night. This magnificent costume was supplied from Mrs Sims' Court Dress Establishment, Dublin, and handsome embroidery used was worked at Viscountess Duncannon's school."[12]:p. 3, Col. 9b The Freeman's Journal, the very important Irish newspaper: the short article is quoted in its entirety here.

Lafayette's portrait of "Beatrix Jane (née Craven), Countess Cadogan as Elizabeth, Queen of Bohemia (after Honthorst)" in costume is photogravure #260 in the album presented to the Duchess of Devonshire and now in the National Portrait Gallery.[13] The printing on the portrait says, "Countess Cadogan as Elizabeth Queen of Bohemia (after Honthorst)," with a Long S in Countess.[14]

Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia (19 August 1596 – 13 February 1662) was the eldest daughter of James I and sister of Charles I. Gerrit van Honthorst's portrait (right) of her was painted in 1642, 10 years after she was widowed and 22 years after she and her husband went into exile in Holland, where this portrait was painted. When she returned to England in 1661, she stayed with the 1st Earl of Craven.[15] Beatrix, Countess of Cadogan was a Craven before she married. This portrait is now in the main collection at the National Gallery, London, having been bequeathed by Cornelia, Countess of Craven in 1965.[16]

Lady Sophie Scott

edit

Lady Sophie Scott was Megaera, a Fury, along with her sister, Lady Emily Julia Cadogan Brownlow, Lady Lurgan, who was also a Fury in the procession as a goddess.[10]:p. 7, Col. 5b

Lafayette's portrait (right) of "Lady Sophie Beatrix Mary Scott (née Cadogan) as Megaera" in costume is photogravure #141 in the album presented to the Duchess of Devonshire and now in the National Portrait Gallery.[13] The printing on the portrait says, "Lady Sophie Scott as Megaera."[17]

Newspaper Descriptions

edit
  • Lady Sophie Scott and her sister Lady Emily Lurgan were "dressed alike as Furies, in flame-coloured gauze, with diamond snakes twined round their arms and waists, on their dresses, and forming their headgear. They carried torches of electric light, and wore jewellel gold wings."[18]:p. 5, Col. 7b
  • Lady Sophie Scott was dressed as one of the "Furies. Flame / colour and gold shot gauze, embroidered round the hem with gold, long hanging sleeves edged with small diamond and silver serpents; large serpents were coiled round their waists, and others were entangled in front of the bodice. They [Ladies Lurgan and Sophie Scott] were wreathed round the head with the reptiles, and carried torches burning with electric light."[10]:pp. 7, Col. 7c–8, Col. 1a
  • "Lady Lurgan and Lady Sophie Scott, as Furies, were in flame-coloured gold shot gauze, embroidered round the hem with gold."[9]:p. 3, Col. 3b
  • "Very striking were the costumes worn as 'Furies' by Lady Lurgan and Lady Sophie Scott. Their classic draperies were of crimson and gold shot gauze, held in place by serpents intertwined in diamonds and silver. Their serpent head-dresses were equally venomous and vindictive-looking, while, still further to intensify the effect, they carried flaming torches, brilliant with electric light."[19]
  • "Lady Sophia Scott as Fury, worn at the Duchess of Devonshire's fancy ball, is illustrated on page 75 of the Queen of July 10, 1897."[20]
  • This description accompanies a flattering line drawing of Lady Sophia Scott in costume (Numeral 9 below the drawing, top right, full front, head very slightly to the right, flowing hair and wings, burning torch in hand, apparently signed by “Rook”): “Made by Mrs Mason, 4, New Burlington Street, W. … No. 9. LADY SOPHIA SCOTT, Fury. — Flame coloured dress shot with gold, [col. 1c / 2c] diamond snake girdle, diamond wings, torch in hand; diamond snakes entwined in hair.”[21]:Col. 3a–b, 1–2c

Sir Samuel Scott, Bart.

edit

According to the typographical visualization of the quadrilles and processions in the Morning Post, Sir Samuel Scott, Bart. was one of the Mousquetaires et Militaires de l'Epoque in the Louis XV and Louis XVI Quadrille, along with Captain Gordon Wilson.[10]:7, Col. 6b The newspapers, however, say he was in costume as a member of the Royal Horse Guard of John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough (1650–1722[22]). The portrait of Captain Gordon Wilson in the album presented to the Duchess of Devonshire (at right) says, "Captain Gordon Wilson as a Captain in the Blues temp 1680."[23] The Blues were the Royal Regiment of Horse Guards, part of the Household Cavalry: the coat was blue, with red facings, collar and plumes.[24]

  • Sir Samuel Scott, Bart.: "Same as Captain Gordon Wilson. Uniform of the Royal Horse Guards at the time of the Duke of Marlborough, blue with red facings, embroidered gold, crimson sash, embroidered baldric, large velvet hat and plumes."[10]:p. 8, Col. 1c
  • "Sir Samuel Scott and Captain Gordon Wilson [wore] uniforms of the R.H.G. in the great Duke of Marlborough's time."[25]:42, Col. 2b
  • "Captain Gordon Wilson and Sir Samuel Scott (costume of their own regiments at the time of the Duke of Marlborough), blue with red facings; velvet hat and plumes."[26]:p. 36, Col. 3b

Cecilia, Viscountess Chelsea

Cecilia (Mildred Cecilia) H. Sturt Cadogan, Viscountess Chelsea sat at Table 5 in the first supper seating.

Lafayette's portrait of "Lord Charles William Augustus Montagu as King Charles I and Mildred Cecilia Harriet, Lady Montagu as an Italian Flower girl" in costume is photogravure #209 in the album presented to the Duchess of Devonshire and now in the National Portrait Gallery.[13] The printing on the portrait says, "Lord Charles Montagu as King Charles I. Lady Chelsea as an Italian Flower girl."[27]

This portrait includes both Lord Charles Montagu and Mildred Cadogan, Viscountess Chelsea who were not married to each other in 1897 — in fact, she was married to Henry, Viscount Chelsea — but would marry in 1930.

Newspaper Descriptions of Viscountess Chelsea's Costume

edit

Lady Chelsea was dressed as

  • "a Veronese lady."[18]:p. 5, Col. 7c
  • Venditrice di Fiori in the Venetians procession.[11][10]
  • "a Veronese Lady of the Fourteenth Century, [and] wore a robe of velvet, rose tendre et Dalmatique rose de chine, and lined with white silk underdress of silver tissue. The whole dress was trimmed with very old gold lace, studded with rose pearls, turquoises, pearls, and silver. The cordelière and coiffure were entirely of fine pearls."[9]:p. 3, Col. 2c
  • "as a Veronese lady, 14th century. Robe of velvet, rose tendre et Dalatique rose de chine, lined white silk underdress of silver tissue. The whole dress is trimmed with very old gold lace studded with rose pearls, turquoises, pearls, and silver. Cordeliere and coiffure entirely of fine pearls."[28]:p. 2, Col. 7a
  • "(Veronese lady, fourteenth century), robe of velvet, rose tendre, et dalmatique, rose de Chine, lined white silk, underdress of silver tissue; trimmed with very old gold lace studded with jewels."[26]:p. 40, Col. 3a

Henry, Viscount Chelsea

edit

Henry Arthur Cadogan, Viscount Chelsea (at 163) is not listed as having been seated in the first seating for supper although his wife was. He was dressed as

  • "Le Roi Louis XV in the quadrille of the Louis XV. and Louis XVI. Period."[10]

Without knowing any more about Viscount Chelsea's costume, it is impossible to identify any portraits he might have used as sources. The late-18th-century portrait of Louis XV (right) shows him as an adult and is part of the collection at the Musée des Beaux-Arts et d'Archéologie de Châlons-en-Champagne. He is wearing the insignia of the Order of the Holy Spirit.

Hon. Mrs. Cadogan

edit

According to the Gentlewoman, the Hon. Mrs. Cadogan (at 668) was present in an "Elizabethan costume" of "green and gold."[26]:p. 34, Col. 1c Possibly either Hon. Mrs. Charles George Henry Cadogan or Hon. Mrs. Arthur Charles Lewin Cadogan, with perhaps a slight preference for Hon. Mrs. Charles Cadogan (see Note #3, below.)

Questions and Notes

edit
  1. Meux is pronounced mews.
  2. Charles William Augustus Montagu was Hon. Mildred Cecilia Harriet Sturt's third husband, marrying in 1930 although they are in the same portrait in the Album (#209). She is called Lady Montagu here because the NPG is using her most recent title; she was Lady Chelsea in 1897.
  3. Trying to identify the Hon. Mrs. Cadogan: to be "Hon." she would have to have married someone like the son of an earl or perhaps the wife of a member of the House of Commons?
    1. Looking at the 5th Earl's sons...
      1. Albert Edward George Henry Cadogan died on 2 August 1878, when he was 11 years old.[2]
      2. Henry Arthur Cadogan was Viscount Chelsea at the time of the ball.[3]
      3. Gerald Oakley Cadogan married on 7 June 1911.[8]
      4. Hon. Lewin Edward Cadogan died unmarried on 12 August 1917.[35]
      5. Major William George Sydney Cadogan died 12 November 1914, apparently unmarried.[36]
      6. Hon. Sir Edward Cecil George Cadogan died 13 September 1962 unmarried.[37]
      7. Rt. Hon. Sir Alexander George Montagu Cadogan married 3 August 1912.[38]
    2. Going back a generation, to the sons of the 6th Earl, two possibilities exist.
      1. Hon. Arthur Charles Lewin Cadogan (23 June 1841 – 20 November 1918) married his 2nd wife Mary Fenton (he was her 2nd husband as well); he was alive at the time of the ball, and so was she.[39]
      2. Commander Hon. Cecil James George Cadogan (27 March 1846 – 5 June 1918) died unmarried.[40]
      3. Captain Hon. Charles George Henry Cadogan (14 June 1850 – 30 September 1901) married Henriette Wilhelmina Montgomery on 20 June 1874; both were still alive at the time of the ball.[41]
    3. Looking at other social events: the Hon. Mrs. Arthur Cadogan and the Hon. Mrs. Charles Cadogan attended the wedding of Sir Samuel Scott and Lady Sophie Cadogan on 29 June 1896. Both Hon. Mrs. Arthur Cadogan could be married to Hon. Arthur Charles Lewin Cadogan; Hon. Mrs. Charles Cadogan could be married to Captain Hon. Charles George Henry Cadogan, the two viable choices in #2, above. Hon. Mrs. Charles Cadogan appears at other events in the 1890s as well, making her the slightly more likely choice?
