Louisa Jane Hamilton Montagu Douglas Scott, Duchess of Buccleuch (at 24) sat at Table 3 for the first seating for supper. She was dressed

  • "as Elizabeth, Duchess of Buccleuch, after Sir Joshua Reynolds, in a petticoat and square bodice of cream satin, with overdress of terra [/] cotta brocade (with Watteau pleat at back), turned back with a wide collar of Irish lace, the ends falling to the hem."[15]:p. 3, Cols. 2c–3a
  • "as Elizabeth, Duchess of Buccleuch, after Sir Joshua Reynolds."[14]
  • "after Sir Joshua Reynolds. Petticoat and square bodice of cream satin, with over-dress of terra cotta brocade, with Watteau pleat at back, turned back with a wide collar of Irish lace, the ends falling to the hem."[16]:p. 7, Col. 7a
  • "in black velvet slashed with yellow, wore a white ruff and little black velvet cap embroidered in pearls."[17]:p. 5, Col. 1

John Thomson's portrait of "Louisa Jane (née Hamilton), Duchess of Buccleuch as Elizabeth, Duchess of Buccleuch" in costume is photogravure #87 in the album presented to the Duchess of Devonshire and now in the National Portrait Gallery.[18] The printing on the portrait says, "The Duchess of Buccleuch as Elizabeth, Duchess of Buccleuch," with a Long S in Duchess both times.[19]

Louisa, Duchess of Buccleuch was dressed as Elizabeth, Duchess of Buccleuch (1743–1827), wife of Henry Scott, 3rd Duke of Buccleuch.[20]

William, Duke of Buccleuch

[edit | edit source]

William, Duke of Buccleuch (at 20) is not listed as having been seated at supper. According to the Morning Post and the Times, he

  • "appeared as William Cavendish, Duke of Newcastle (1676), after a painting by Samuel Cooper."[15]:p. 3, Col. 4b
  • was dressed as "William Cavendish Duke of Newcastle (1676), after a painting by Samuel Cooper."[16]:p. 7, Col. 7a
  • was dressed as "William Cavendish, Duke of Newcastle (1676) after a painting by Samuel Cooper."[14]

According to the London Daily News, the Belfast News-Letter, the Carlisle Patriot, and the Westminster Gazette, he

  • "went as Charles I."[21]:p. 6, Col. 1b [22]:p. 6, Col. 1b [23]
  • "The Duke of Buccleuch was a Charles I."[17]:p. 5, Col. 1

The fact that the same information is repeated does not suggest that it is confirmed; it seems likely that the story in the London Daily News was repeated in other papers, although possibly not in the Westminster Gazette.

Lord George Scott

[edit | edit source]

Lord George Scott (at 526) also attended.[14]
