Legendary Parties 1922-1972 by Prince Jean-Louis de Faucigny-Lucinge (Book)
About the Item
A scarce hardback book with its original dust jacket which is in good condition, it is a photographic record of Who's Who in international society in the mid 20th century and the lavish costume parties and masqued balls which they attended. Anticipated for months and discussed for decades, these legendary parties brought together all manner of extraordinary talent - composers, designers, stage designers, choreographers and photographers. Prince Jean-Louis de Faucigny-Lucinge was an aristocrat of the old school who has assembled wonderful photographs of some of these most famous events, many of which have never been published before and come up with this absolutely fascinating account of the events. This includes the Beistegui ball at the Palais Labia in Venice and two given by Alexis de Rede at his Paris home The Hotel Lambert with many photographs by Cecil Beaton.
