Légende

The first quadrille at Almacks, 1892. 'Marquis of Worcester, Lady Jersey, Clanronald MacDonald, Lady Worcester'. Almack's was the name of a number of establishments and social clubs in London between the 18th and 20th centuries. Two of the clubs would go on to fame as Brooks's and Boodle's. Almack's most famous establishment was based in assembly rooms on King Street, St James's, and was one of a limited number of upper-class mixed-sex public social venues in the British capital. The site of the club, Almack's Assembly Rooms or (from 1781) Willis's Rooms, has become retrospectively interchangeable with the club. From "The Reminiscences and Recollections of Capt. Gronow. With illustrations from contemporary sources ... by J. Grego".
