A Royal Gathering at Eaton Hall: The Black and White Front Cover of Tatler, December 22, 1909 The front cover of the Tatler magazine, dated December 22, 1909, presents an enchanting image of a royal shoot at Eaton Hall in Cheshire. The photograph captures the Duchess of Westminster, center stage, seated between Colonel Horford and Princess Pless, as they take a brief respite between drives. The Duke and Duchess of Westminster had extended a gracious invitation to a select group of guests for a shooting party, an event that was further honored by the presence of King Edward VII. The Duke and Duchess of Westminster were prominent figures in Edwardian society, known for their grandeur and hospitality. Their estate, Eaton Hall, was a popular destination for the aristocracy and royals alike. The photograph encapsulates the elegance and sophistication of the era, with the ladies dressed in their finest attire and the gentlemen in their hunting gear. The King, who is not visible in the photograph, was a regular visitor to Eaton Hall and was known for his love of shooting parties. The image underscores the camaraderie and shared enjoyment of the guests as they take a moment to rest amidst the picturesque drives of Eaton Hall. The photograph, a snapshot of a bygone era, serves as a testament to the rich history and traditions of the British aristocracy during the early 20th century.
