Duchess of Devonshire’s Jubilee Costume Ball 1897

Here's a bit of fun: the cream of Victorian England dressing up to celebrate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. To mark the occasion, the Duchess of Devonshire held a costume ball where the guests (a very exclusive club) were asked to dress in some kind of historical costume. It's interesting to look at what they came up with. A photographic service ("Lafayette Co") took pictures of them all, so we can do just that.
