Costume at the Duchess of Devonshire's 2 July 1897 Fancy-dress Ball
Mr. Henry Torrens Anstruther and the Hon. Eva Anstruther attended the Duchess of Devonshire's fancy-dress ball. No description of their costumes at the ball exists.

Henry Torrens Anstruther is Number 690 in Vanity Fair 's "Statesmen" series, and a caricature portrait (above right) by Leslie Ward ("Spy") was published in the 14 October 1897 issue, showing what Anstruther looked like in 1897. The title of the portrait is "St. Andrew's District" because he was the Member of Parliament from there.
