This photograph captures the enchanting presence of Rosita Forbes, a British traveller, socialite, and acclaimed author, at the Jewels of Empire Ball held at the prestigious Park Lane Hotel in London in November 1930. Dressed in an exquisite ruby-red costume, Forbes embodies the opulence and allure of the event's theme. Her stunning headpiece, adorned with an extravagant cascade of feathers, adds to the fancy and elegance of her attire. Forbes, later known as Mrs. A. McGrath, was a renowned figure in society circles and an accomplished explorer and traveller. Her adventurous spirit took her to far-flung corners of the world, and her vivid accounts of her experiences were published in several books, including "The African Queen" and "The Island of Love." The Jewels of Empire Ball was a charity event, and Forbes' attendance showcased her dedication to philanthropy and her commitment to supporting worthy causes. The grandeur of the occasion was reflected in the elegance and sophistication of the guests' attire, making for an unforgettable evening. This photograph is a testament to Forbes' captivating personality and her ability to captivate the attention of those around her. With her striking appearance and magnetic charm, she continues to intrigue and inspire, leaving us with a lasting impression of a bygone era.
