Costume at the Duchess of Devonshire's 2 July 1897 Fancy-dress Ball
editAt the Duchess of Devonshire's fancy-dress ball, Gordon Edward Boileau Wood (at 234) was among the Suite of Men in the "Oriental" procession.[7][8] The Gentlewoman says, "Messrs Gordon Wood and Wilfred Wilson were attendants on [George Keppel's] King Solomon," wearing "green silk tunics elaborately embroidered in gold and studs, with cloaks embroidered and lined with white; jewelled headdreses, swords."[9]:34, Col. 3a
Notes and Questions
edit- DVP is decessit vita patris, died while his father was still living.
- Edward Frederick Lindley Wood, Viscount Halifax, wasn't promoted to Earl until 11 July 1944.
- Four slightly difficult-to-identify men were among the Suite of Men in the "Oriental" procession: Gordon Wood, Arthur B. Portman, Wilfred Wilson, and Hon. Algernon Bourke. The identification of Gordon Wood and Wilfred Wilson is high because of contemporary newspaper accounts; the Hon. Algernon Bourke is not difficult to identify at all; Arthur Portman appears in a number of similar newspaper accounts, but none of them mentions his family of origin.
