As promised last time, here are the particulars of the Drawing-Room held by Queen Charlotte just days after her granddaughter's wedding:

A Drawing-room of 1809 |
This account of
the social event of the 1816 season comes from the popular journal,
La Belle Assemblee, for May 1816. The exact date of the Drawing-room is not provided. There are long lists of the presentations made at the event, and even longer lists of the ladies' gowns. Please leave me a comment or send me an email letting me know if you would like to see those lists posted here. I don't feel confident of their general interest, so your input would be appreciated!
'Til next time,
Lesley-Anne

What a fascinating insight! It's incredible that they just had lists of people like that in magazines!
