The Whittington Club - New Decoration of the Ball-Room, 1850. Creator: Unknown

The Whittington Club - New Decoration of the Ball-Room, 1850. The Whittington in Arundel Street, London, formed in 1847, was also a literary institute. The splendid ball-room of this Institution has been re-decorated and refitted with great splendour, at a cost of £600, the entire amount having been subscribed by the members previous to the commencement of the works...In addition to the decorations, a new orchestra has been erected, which, supported by two graceful and appropriate fluted columns, is cleverly blended with the general character and style of the room, and forms a useful as well as a decorative feature. On Tuesday, the first monthly assembly of the season was held, Mr. Putnam's quadrille band occupying the orchestra; and the evening was spent in a manner highly satisfactory to those present'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
