Bazaar at St. James's Hall in aid of the French Protestant schools in Soho, 1864. Creator: Unknown
Bazaar at St. James's Hall in aid of the French Protestant schools in Soho, [London], 1864. 'The opening of the grand fancy bazaar...for the benefit of the French Protestant Free Schools situated in Gerrard-street, Soho, was honoured by the presence of the Prince and Princess of Wales. It was not expected that his Royal Highness would have attended the bazaar; but, greatly to the pleasure and profit of the fair stallkeepers, he accompanied the Princess of Wales, and during the time of his visit purchased many of the exquisite contributions sent from Paris, Geneva, and Berlin for the benefit of the schools. Her Royal Highness was attended by the Countess of Morton, and the Prince of Wales by Major Teesdale. They were received at the entrance of the hall by Countess Bemstorff, the Duchess of Grafton, the Duchess of Somerset, the Marchioness Maria of Ailesbury, the Marchioness of Ailesbury, the Marchioness of Bath, the Marchioness of Ely, the Countess of Shaftesbury, Viscountess Grey De Wilton, Viscountess Jocelyn, Lady Charles Bruce, La Comtesse De Hamel de Manin, the Hon. Mrs. Byng, and other ladies. The bazaar was in every respect a great success, and the funds of the French Free Schools were materially benefited by its operations'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
A grand fancy bazaar unfolded at St. James' Hall in aid of the French Protestant schools in Soho, a charitable endeavor that brought together esteemed guests and generous donors alike. In this print, we see the Prince and Princess of Wales gracing the event with their presence, accompanied by notable ladies-in-waiting such as Countess Bemstorff and Lady Charles Bruce. The royal couple's visit was marked by enthusiastic purchases from among the exquisite contributions sent from Paris, Geneva, and Berlin to support the schools.
As they mingled amidst the stalls of fine goods and delicacies, Her Royal Highness was attended by a retinue of noble ladies while His Royal Highness enjoyed the company of Major Teesdale. The atmosphere was one of warmth and generosity as patrons donated generously to this worthy cause. This photograph print captures not only the opulence and grandeur of the bazaar but also its true purpose: bringing people together for the benefit of a good cause.
The French Protestant Free Schools in Soho, with their mission to provide education to those who needed it most, were undoubtedly grateful for the outpouring of support. This remarkable event not only raised vital funds but also fostered connections between individuals from different walks of life. As we gaze upon this photograph print, we are reminded that even in times past, people came together with kindness and compassion to make a positive impact on their communities.
