Three ladies of fashion on their way to "Ye Olde English Fayre," at the Albert Hall, 1881. 'The Grand Fancy Fair and Musical Fete, which was opened...by Princess Christian, in presence of several members of the Royal family and a whole galaxy of the beauty, rank, and fashion of the land, has met with all the artistic and financial success which an enterprise so original, picturesque, and benevolent deserved. The proceeds...will be devoted to the funds for completing the new building for the Chelsea Hospital for Women, the first stone of which was laid by H.R.H. the Princess of Wales in July, 1880...The "Three Ladies of Fashion going to the Olde English Fayre," whom we have depicted, are intended to represent Mrs. Samuda, Mrs. George Bolton, and Lady Archibald Campbell. Their dress is plush, and old dead rose-leaf in colour, turned down with the same, only a shade darker. Steel-facet cut buttons, powdered wig, three-cornered hat, boots, spurs, and riding-whip enter into the costume of each. The badge they wear is a fleur-de-lys on the left lapel worked in silver on black velvet. Lady Archibald Campbell, it will be remembered, is the same lady who went to the last Drawingroom wearing the heraldic blazon of the Argylls'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
