EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Invitation to a ball at Ranelagh Gardens, Millbank, London, 1 June 1803" takes us back in time to an elegant and exclusive event. The artist Robert Smirke beautifully captures the essence of this grand occasion. The scene depicts a group of gentlemen and cherubs gathered in the opulent Ranelagh Gardens. The invitation itself is prominently displayed, emphasizing that only those dressed in full attire will be granted admission. This requirement adds an air of formality and sophistication to the event. The attention to detail is remarkable as we observe the cherubs engaged in various games and activities within this enchanting setting. Their playful presence adds a touch of whimsy amidst the refined atmosphere. Ranelagh Gardens was renowned for its extravagant balls during this era, attracting high society members from all corners of London. It served as a social hub where people could indulge in music, dancing, and mingling with fellow elites. As we gaze upon this print from our private collection today, it offers us a glimpse into the past – a reminder of how society once celebrated with grace and elegance. It invites us to imagine ourselves transported back to that magical evening on June 1st, 1803 when guests adorned themselves in their finest attire for an unforgettable night at Ranelagh Gardens.
