Timeline
[edit | edit source]1881 April 30, Francis Richard Charles Guy Greville and Daisy (Frances Evelyn) Maynard married.[3]
1887 July 12, Hon. Louis George Greville and Lily Gordon married.[4]
1890 September, the "Royal Baccarat Scandal," which began at the home of Arthur Stanley Wilson.[5] Sir William Gordon Cumming was accused of cheating at baccarat at Sir Arthur Wilson’s country house, Tranby Croft. Daisy Greville, later Countess Warwick, was implicated as the source when word got out about the illegal baccarat game and Sir Cummings’ cheating, earning her the nickname “Babbling Brooks." Owen Williams was croupier and also, with George Coventry, 9th Earl of Coventry, intermediary between the scandal and the Prince of Wales.[5]
1891 June, the Tranby Croft trial, about William Gordon-Cumming's cheating at baccarat at a party attended by the Prince of Wales.[6]:114
1891, another Prince of Wales scandal: Lady Charles Beresford intercepted a letter from Daisy, Lady Brooke (later Countess of Warwick) to Lord Charles Beresford that revealed a sexual relationship between them. She showed it to a number of people, including the Prince of Wales, Charles Beresford’s brother, Lord Marcus Beresford and George Lewis, solicitor to many in Society and then got pregnant by Lord Brooke, Daisy's husband. The Prince of Wales intervened in the affair to preserve the marriages and appearance of propriety, causing a permanent enmity between him and Charles Beresford. The sexual relationship between Daisy and Bertie followed.[7]
1892, Henry Dacre wrote "Bicyle Built for Two," the real name of which is "Daisy Bell," thought to be named after Daisy, Countess of Warwick.[8]
1893 May, W. T. Stead founded the Mobray House Cycling Association.
1895 February 1, Friday, a bal poudré was held at Warwick Castle, with Countess Warwick dressed as Marie Antoinette and about 400 guests in 18th-century dress.
1895 July 20, Lady Eva Sarah Louise Greville and Frank Dugdale married.[9]
1897 July 2, Friday, the Earl and Countess of Warwick attended the fancy-dress ball hosted by the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, as did Hon. Sir Sidney Robert Greville, Mr. and Lady M. Greville, the Hon. Mrs. Greville, and Lady Eva Greville Dugdale and Mr. Dugdale.

Daisy Countess Warwick
[edit | edit source]At the Duchess of Devonshire's fancy-dress ball, Daisy Countess of Warwick (at 53), was seated at Table 6. The descriptions, below, of the Countess of Warwick's dress by the London Evening Standard, Morning Post, Times, and Leicester Chronicle and Leicestershire Mercury are almost but not perfectly identical.
Lafayette's portrait of "Frances Evelyn ('Daisy') Greville (née Maynard), Countess of Warwick as Marie Antoinette" in costume is photogravure #279 in the album presented to the Duchess of Devonshire and now in the National Portrait Gallery.[10] The printing on the portrait says, "The Countess of Warwick as Marie Antoinette," with a Long S in Countess.[11] This photograph in the album (left) is a close-up and looks like it was made at the same time the 3 portraits above were.
The photograph on the left was printed in the Album given to Louisa, Duchess of Devonshire as a hostess gift by some of the guests. The photographs on the right were proofs and other poses not used for the album. The newspaper reports do not mention an original for the Countess of Warwick's costume. She was 36 at the time of the ball. At 36 Marie Antoinette had been arrested and was detained, facing the threats to her life; she was executed on 16 October 1793, not quite 38 years old.[12]
Newpaper Reports of Daisy, Countess Warwick
[edit | edit source]- Lady Warwick "wore pink brocade with jewelled lace and chains of diamonds over a white satin petticoat draped with white chiffon edged with fine gold lace. The blue velvet train was embroidered with gold flour-de-lys. Quantities of diamonds were worn in the hair."[13]:p. 5, Col. 7b
- "The Countess of Warwick [was dressed] as Marie Antoinette — bodice and paniers of pink and gold flowered brocade and gold lace studded with silver sequins and diamonds, the square-cut neck trimmed with old lace, and the chiffon sleeves divided into small puffs with gold lace sparkling with jewels; diamond rivières were festooned across the front of the bodice. The petticoat was of white satin draped with chiffon scarves edged with gold and sequin lace. The regal train of turquoise velvet was lined with the same and embroidered all over at equal distance with raised gold fleur-de-lis, and fastened on each of the shoulders with gold cord."[14]
- She was dressed as "Marie Antoinette. Bodice and paniers of pink and gold flowered brocade and gold lace studded with silver sequins and diamonds; the square-cut neck trimmed with old lace, and the chiffon sleeves divided into small puffs with gold lace sparkling with jewels. Diamond rivières were festooned across the front of the bodice. The petticoat was of white satin draped with chiffon scarves edged with gold and sequin lace. The regal train of turquoise velvet was lined with the same and embroidered all over at equal distances with raised gold fleurs-de-lis, and fastened on the shoulders with gold cord."[15]:p. 7, Col. 7c
- "Another quadrille which was remarkable for the rich costumes was organised by the Countess of Warwick. Her Ladyship, as Marie Antoinette, was in pink and silver brocade, blue velvet train embroidered in gold fleur-de-lys; and all the costumes were of the Louis XV. or Louis XVI. period."[16]:p. 5, Col. 9C
- She was dressed "as Marie Antoinette, wore a bodice and paniers of pink and gold flowered brocade, and gold lace studded with silver sequins and diamonds, the square-cut neck trimmed with old lace, and the chiffon sleeves divided into small puffs with gold lace sparkling with jewels. Diamond rivières were festooned across the front of the bodice. The petticoat was of white satin, draped with chiffon scarves, edged with gold and sequin lace. The regal train of turquoise velvet was lined with the same, and embroidered all over at equal distances with raised gold fleur-de-lis, and fastened on the shoulders with gold cord."[17]:p. 3, Col. 3a
- "Marie Antoinette found a lovely representative in the Countess of Warwick, whose gold and silver brocade gown was worn over a white satin petticoat, trimmed with gold lace."[18]
- "Lady Warwick (Marie Antoinette) wore a shirt of white silken muslin, with gold lace, and a paniered over-dress of lovely old brocade in a tone of pink with flowering. She was accompanied by four boys dressed in white satin, with three-cornered hats to match."[19]
- "The Countess of Warwick, as Marie Antoinette, in white and blue, with golden fleur-de-lys upon her velvet train, was the centre of a picturesque group, among whom was the Earl of Essex, dressed as his ancestor of that period, and the Earl of Mar and Kellie as Sir Walter Raleigh."[20]:p. 42, Col. 1a
- "Lady Warwick was robed as Marie Antoinette, the sum of £700 laving been spent on the gown, without jewels. Says a lady writer who was present at the ball, 'her ladyship looked very lovely, very queenly, as she passed by with her four pages in white satin.' ... The Countess of Warwick led the special quadrille representing [the] Louis XV. and Louis XVI. period."[21]
- "The Countess of Warwick made a lovely Marie Antoinette. Her gown was of real gold and silver thread and pink rose brocade, covered with lace, diamonds, and gold. This brocade, which was strikingly beautiful, cost £12 a yard."[22]:p. 2, Col. 7b
- "The Countess of Warwick, as Marie Antoinette, wore a bodice and paniers of pink and gold flowered brocade, and gold lace studded with silver sequins and diamonds, the square-cut neck trimmed with old lace, and the chiffon sleeves divided into small puffs with gold lace sparkling with jewels.

The regal train of turquoise velvet was lined with the same, and embroidered all over at equal distances with raised gold fleur-de-lis, and fastened on the shoulders with gold cord."[23]:p. 11, Col. 4b
- "Lady Warwick, as the ill-fated Marie Antoinette, ... [was] very successfully gowned."[24]:p. 32, Col. 3b
- The Queen published a line drawing of the Countess of Warwick's costume: numbered 3 below the drawing, top right, the Countess of Warwick is facing slightly to her right, right hand up by her shoulder, left hand in front of her, holding a folded fan; her dress in this drawing is similar to her costume as photographed and described.[25]:p. 48 BNA, 74 print, Col. 3a–b Here is the Queen's description:
"Made by Mrs Mason, 4, New Burlington Street, W. … No. 3. COUNTESS OF WARWICK, Marie Antoinette. — Magnificent brocade gown, wrought with real gold and silver thread. Petticoat of rich white satin, draped with muslin and gold blonde’ [sic]; ruffles and fichu of point d’Alençon lace. Train of blue velvet, embroidered with gold fleur de lys. Headdress of blue gauze, clasped with diamonds, and white and blue feathers with aigrette.”[25]:p. 48 BNA, 74 print, Col. 2c
- According to the Shields Daily Gazette, a regional daily covering South Tyneside, a tiny area on the north-east coast of England, "The Countess of Warwick, it is said, was specially attended for the Devonshire ball by a dresser and a coiffure from Paris. Her ladyship's dress cost 700 guineas without jewels."[26]
She was accompanied by four boys dressed as pages:
- "The Countess of Warwick, as Marie Antoinette, looked very handsome, and had four pages in white satin and cocked hats."[27]:p. 5, Col. 1
- "She was accompanied by four boys dressed in white satin, with three-cornered hats to match."[19]
- She was escorted by four pages: "It would appear that the Countess of Warwick created a most impressive effect at the Duchess of Devonshire’s ball in the character of Marie Antoinette. Her dress and brilliants were superb, and her four pages shared in the compliments."[28]
Commentary on Lady Warwick's Costume
[edit | edit source]- This effective and well-thought-out costume is much more Victorian than it is 18th century.
- The chiffon, which otherwise might be difficult to understand on a dress like this, has the effect of contrasting with and softening the brocade, jewels, and stiff gold lace.
- Even though the newspapers say she was wearing paniers, the line of the skirt looks like her hips are padded by a bumroll rather than extended to the sides only by the framework of an actual panier.
- Lady Warwick's appearance is sexualized and her bust emphasized by this costume: the double loop of the diamond rivière, the froufrou around the neck of the bodice and the very low neckline with a translucent lace triangle over the cleavage. The v-shape of the neckline and the brooch holding the rivière in place in the center make a focal point at the center of the bust.
Francis Earl of Warwick
[edit | edit source]Francis Earl of Warwick (at 525) also attended.[21]
Hon. Sir Sidney Robert Greville
[edit | edit source]The Hon. S. Greville (at 297) was dressed as Cipriano in the Venetians procession.[15] The Times spells it Hon. Sydney Greville.[14] The Gentlewoman gives a little hint of his costume: "(Venetian noble, 1500), green and gold brocade."[24]:p. 34, Col. 1b He did not marry.
Lady Eva and Mr. Dugdale
[edit | edit source]Mr. Frank Dugdale (at 348) was dressed as one of the Mousquetaires et Militaires de l'Epoque in the Quadrille of the Louis XV. and Louis XVI.
Lady Eva Greville Dugdale (at 409) was also present. Before she married, Lady Eva Greville was Lady in Waiting to Duchess of York, Mary of Teck and was in attendance, at least in the mid 1890s.
Alice Hughes's portrait of "Lady Eva Sarah Louisa Dugdale (née Greville) as her great aunt Lady Anne Bingham" in costume is #251 in the album presented to the Duchess of Devonshire and now in the National Portrait Gallery.[10] The printing on the portrait says, "Lady Eva Dugdale as her great aunt Lady Anne Bingham."[29]
Lady Anne Bingham was daughter of Charles Bingham, 1st Earl of Lucan. Her portrait (left) was painted by Joshua Reynolds in 1786 and is still in the collection of the Spencer family.[30]
Mr. and Lady M. Greville
[edit | edit source]Mr. and Lady M. Greville (at 470 and 469) attended the ball.[14] She seems unlikely to belong to this family of Baron Greville and Lady Violet Greville because her honorific would not have come from Mr. Greville, but Marjorie Blanche Eva Greville (25 October 1884 – 25 July 1964), daughter of Daisy Countess of Warwick and Francis Earl of Warwick would have been too young to have been married and to have attended the ball. In the absence of a better candidate, it is possible the Greville is a mistake, and Lady M. Grenville is Mary Temple-Nugent-Brydges-Chandos-Grenville, Lady Kinloss.
Hon. Alwyn Henry Fulke Greville
[edit | edit source]I had the idea that the Hon. Alwyn Henry Fulke Greville attended the ball, but I can't find evidence for that now, so I'm leaving him out of the lists. He and his wife did attend other social events reported on in the papers hosted by the Prince and Princess of Wales. In that case, they are listed as Captain the Hon. Alwyn or Alwyne and Mrs. Greville, so she could be the unidentified Hon. Mrs. Greville (at 299)? If she did attend, then he probably did as well?
Hon. Mrs. Greville
[edit | edit source]The Hon. Mrs. Greville (at 299) was dressed as Madame Elizabeth de France in the Quadrille of the Louis XV and Louis XVI Period.[15]
She is likely not the Hon. Margaret or Mrs. Ronald Greville (at 298), who is on a different page. Two Hon. Mrs. Grevilles attended the ball, Mrs. Ronald in the Elizabethan procession, as Mary Seaton, and this one.
The 1895 Warwick Bal Poudré
[edit | edit source]A bal poudré was held at Warwick Castle, with Countess Warwick dressed as Marie Antoinette and about 400 guests in 18th-century dress, part of a house-party weekend for a select group of guests. Some overlap exists between those who attended the Bal Poudré at Warwick Castle and those who were in the Countess of Warwick's court at the Duchess of Devonshire's 1897 ball, but the overlap is not striking.
Muriel Wilson was part of the house party as well as attending the ball, as was "Mr Caryl Craven, to whom so many thanks are due for the able way in which he assisted his charming hostess in carrying out her scheme, Mr Craven being quite an authority on eighteenth century French art and dress."[31]
Costumes at the 1895 Bal Poudré
[edit | edit source]The Earl of Warwick
[edit | edit source]Francis, Earl of Warwick was dressed as a Field Marshal from the time of Louis XVI:
Military coat with the long skirts of the period, having turned-back revers of white cloth, laced, after the military fashion, with gold, white knee-breeches and silk stockings. The cravat and ruffles were of lace. A white wig in Louis XVI. style, and a three-cornered black beaver hat with gold braid all round the brim, which was edged with small white ostrich plumes, completed a handsome and artistic costume. A sword was worn in a swordbelt of the period.[32] (6, Col. 2c)
The Countess of Warwick
[edit | edit source]Daisy, Countess of Warwick was dressed as Marie Antoinette:
Gala costume. Rich brocade dress, with a ground of a delicate tint of pearl, with a suggestion of pink in it, the design roses in gold, with gold foliage, lilies in white, some small blue flowers and clusters of pink blossoms, with bright old-world green as foliage. The skirt was quite plain, and the [/] bodice drawn into shaped points at the hips, so that it sat right out at either side. It was full, and about a yard on the ground at the back. The bodice was finished with points back and front, and was cut with absolute perfection. Round the shoulders were full soft folds of gold-flecked French silk muslin edged with beautiful gold lace. The sleeves were plain and tight to the elbow, whence they were finished with triple frills of the gold-flecked muslin, each bordered with gold lace, and with ruffles falling from beneath the frills of point d’Alençon lace. The frills were headed with bands of gold embroidery. At the back, suspended from both shoulders by gold cords, was a beautiful Court mantle of deep rich blue velvet, not so pale as turquoise nor so strong as the shade we call Royal, but a bright lovely colour. This was embroidered all over with a raised design of fleur de lys in dull and burnished gold, and was lined with the same blue velvet. The hair was dressed high with a magnificently embroidered head-dress. Her ladyship wore the Warwick family diamonds round her neck as a collar, a turquoise velvet cap clasped with jewels on her white coiffure and a bandeau of family jewels under her cap. Her court mantle was fastened at the shoulders with a tiara of diamonds widened out so as to clasp the cloak from shoulder to shoulder.[32] (6, Col. 2c–3a)
