Costume at the Duchess of Devonshire's 2 July 1897 Fancy-dress Ball

edit

At the Duchess of Devonshire's fancy-dress ball, Thomas Lister, 4th Baron Ribblesdale (at 185) sat at Table 8.

  • "Conspicuous" among the men "arrayed in the dresses of their family" was "Lord Ribblesdale, after the Lawrence picture of his grandfather."[7][8] (The description of Lord Ribblesdale in the article in the Times is almost identical to that of the one in the Carlisle Patriot).

Charlotte, Lady Ribblesdale (at 206) sat at Table 11. Lady Ribblesdale's original costume (Duchess of Parma) appeared in the Drury Lane production of The White Heather.[9]

The Hon. Reginald Lister (at 214) sat at Table 12 in the first supper seating.
