Framed Print of Sketches at a Fancy-Dress Ball, 1881. Creator: Joseph Swain
Sketches at a Fancy-Dress Ball, 1881. "Why my dear fellow I word that very dress last year"; The Anything-will-do Style; "Fancy Dress"; My Patience!!; Birds of a feather; The Funny Family; The property corner after the first dance...Sketches which may yield some amusement to the reader...The figure of a sham American Indian, loaded with strings of wampum and strips of deerskin, will contrast disagreeably with those of a lady and gentleman in the regulation evening dress of the period...The assumption of nautical garb and manner should be limited to men of proper ship-shape figure, according to "the cut of their jib" and such salt-water phrases. Good examples of the right sort are observed in the well-grown man and boy to the right; while nothing can be less sailor-like than the other three "birds of a feather"...in a corner of the hall, indiscriminately thrown together, we find various portable articles or "properties"...Britannia's shield and spear, with Neptune's trident, the bats of a pair of La Crosse players, the bow of Cupid and that of Diana, the Griffin standard of the City Corporation, the head of Punch carved atop of the jester's truncheon...These are left in a charge of a wooden man in armour, looking not very real'.
