EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the binding of a souvenir album from the Juvenile Fancy Dress Ball in Leeds, which took place on January 12th, 1891. The large leather-bound album features intricate gold inscriptions on the front cover, including the words "Souvenir January 12th, 1891" and the coat of arms of Leeds. Inside, it is inscribed with details about the ball being given by Alfred Cooke and his wife to celebrate their silver wedding anniversary. The album contains photographs of children who attended the ball from various families in Leeds. These children dressed up as different characters for the event, ranging from real-life roles like doctors and barristers to fairy tale characters such as Red Riding Hood and Cinderella. They also portrayed characters from nursery rhymes, literature/opera adaptations, military/navy uniforms, paintings inspired costumes, floral-themed outfits representing different flowers and seasons. Additionally, historical figures like Queen Elizabeth I and Charles II were depicted alongside exotic foreigners like Spanish matadors and Polish hussars. This diverse array of costumes showcases both creativity and cultural diversity among participants. Preserved by Leeds Museums and Art Galleries at Abbey House Museum in the UK, this photograph serves as a fascinating glimpse into a past era's fancy dress tradition while commemorating an important milestone for one prominent couple in Leeds society.
