An extensive report of the ball appeared in the first issue of the “Illustrated London News” (vol. 1, May, 1842, p. 8). The model for this illustration is probably John Richard Coke Smith’s plate of Queen Victoria in costume in J R Planché’s Souvenir of the Bal Costumé, 1842. For the companion plate of Prince Albert in costume, see 1902,1011.10004
