A caricature portrait (right) of Lord Revelstoke by Leslie Ward ("Spy") appeared in the 11 August 1898 issue of Vanity Fair, as Number 698 in its "Statesmen" series, giving a sense of what he looked like about the time of the ball.

Notes and Questions

 * 1) Evelyn, Earl Cromer is not reported to have been at the ball. By October 1898, they had returned to Cairo after being in England, because "his presence in Cairo was deemed very important for reasons of State," and she went, "well knowing the seriousness of her condition, which no medical skill could any longer alleviate."
