Incidents of a debutantes first drawing room
Double page spread from the Illustrated London News depicting a series of scenes showing the process for a debutante to be presented to the Queen at court. First she waits in her carriage in the Mall until she is finally admitted into Buckingham Palace where she signs her name. She then negotiates the crush of the anterooms where ladies jostle for position and then enters the royal presence where she kisses Queen Victorias hand. The picture along the bottom explains the difficulties involved in the manoeuvre of her long train while simultaneously trying to curtsey to the royal family. Young ladies would take lessons to perfect this move before presentation at court. Date: 1893
