EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph, taken by the renowned British photographer A. Davis, captures the magical atmosphere of the Chelsea Arts Ball held at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall on New Year's Eve in 1929. The annual arts ball was a much-anticipated event in London's social calendar, bringing together artists, intellectuals, and society figures for an evening of creativity, entertainment, and revelry. The theme of this particular ball was 'Noah's Ark,' and the photograph offers a delightful impression of the elaborate costumes and decor that brought the biblical story to life. The room is filled with an array of enormous puppet animals, adding a whimsical touch to the elegant setting of the Royal Albert Hall. Guests can be seen mingling and laughing, some dressed as animals themselves, while others don more traditional attire. The Chelsea Arts Ball was a unique and imaginative event that showcased the artistic flair and inventiveness of its attendees. This photograph, taken by A. Davis for the Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the enchanting world of this New Year's Eve celebration and the magical night that unfolded at the Royal Albert Hall in 1929.
