EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting group photograph captures the essence of the Roaring Twenties, as five bright young people pose together at a fancy dress ball hosted by David and Hermione Tennant at their Adelphi Terrace residence in July 1928. The image features William Acton, Mrs. Arthur Bendir, Elizabeth Ponsonby, Harry Melville, and Babe Plunket-Greene, all dressed in their most elaborate and imaginative costumes. At the height of their youth and social prominence, these young individuals were known for their daring spirit and love of extravagance. William Acton, a prominent figure in London society, is seen in the company of Elizabeth Ponsonby, the celebrated "It Girl" of the era, who was known for her beauty and scandalous behavior. Harry Melville, a dashing young man and a popular figure on the social scene, adds to the charm of the group with his charming smile. Babe Plunket-Greene, a talented dancer and socialite, is seen in her most playful attire, while Mrs. Arthur Bendir, a stylish and sophisticated woman, completes the ensemble with her elegant gown. The Tennants' fancy dress ball was one of the most talked-about events of the season, and this photograph offers a rare glimpse into the decadent and carefree world of the 1920s social elite. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, is a testament to the spirit of the times and the enduring allure of the Roaring Twenties.
