Details |
Page from The Sketch reporting on a lavish party hosted by Mrs Alexander Keiller, formerly Miss Doll Phil-Morris, the artist. The party, on the theme of a Venetian masquerade saw her flood the terrace of her garden at 13 Hyde Park Gardens and erect a miniature Grand Canal. The party is a glorious example of the final golden summer enjoyed by the upper classes and society before the outbreak of war in 1914.
