Debutantes of 2009 - The Queen Charlotte's Ball Country Life Magazine Portrait, Frontispiece, September 23 2009. CCIII No. 38
The Debutantes of 2009 - The Queen Charlotte's Ball was held last week, on September 16, at Durbar Court, Whitehall, London SW1. Wearing pearls by Mikimoto, and dresses by Pronovias, the 12 girls photographed have all been involved in fundraising for Prof Lord Winston's research team of obstetricians at Queen Charlotte's Hospital, the original beneficiary of the first ball in 1780.
This is an authentic original page from Country Life magazine, part of the iconic series often affectionately referred to as the “Girls in Pearls” portraits — elegant society images that captured a distinctive era of British publishing and portraiture.
Size: Approximately 12.5 x 9 inches (32 x 23 cm)
Condition: Very good for its age. As with all vintage magazine pages, light signs of handling or minor age-related blemishes may be present. Please review the large photo carefully for full condition details. The reverse side contains unrelated printed text, as issued.
This original Country Life Magazine frontispiece portrait forms part of The Old Map Shop’s curated archive of society portraits published between 1897 and 2026.
