At the Duchess of Devonshire's fancy-dress ball, Lord Kenyon, Baron Lloyd Kenyon sat at Table 6 and was dressed as Guido Cavalcanti in the Italian procession.[3][4]

Walery's portrait of "Lloyd Tyrell-Kenyon, 4th Baron Kenyon as Guido Cavalcanti" in costume is photogravure #248 in the album presented to the Duchess of Devonshire and now in the National Portrait Gallery.[5] The printing on the portrait says, "Lord Kenyon as Guido Cavalcanti."[6]

Newspaper Descriptions of His Costume[edit | edit source]

  • Lord Kenyon was dressed as "a Florentine noble in mauve and pink and gold, with ermine, and wearing cream suède boots and parti-coloured hose."[7]:p. 5, Col. 7c
  • "Lord Kenyon was a Venetian Noble in pale mauve and rose pink, gold and ermine."[8]:42, Col. 2c
  • "Lord Kenyon (Venetian noble, fourteenth century), doublet of pale mauve silk, with large open sleeves, fastened with a gold ornament just below the shoulder; the end of the doublet edged with ermine, on breast of doublet large gold embroidered pattern; cap, pink rose-coloured silk bound with a broad band of ermine, aigrette, white feather, and jewel in front."[9]:p. 41, Col. 3c

Guido Cavalcanti (between 1250 and 1259 – August 1300) was a contemporary and friend of Dante Alighieri and wrote poetry in his own right.[10] No available portraits of him look anything like Lord Kenyon's costume. The portrait (above right) of Cavalcanti was the frontispiece of an edition of his poems, called Rime, published in 1813, and shows him wearing laurel leaves.[11]
