Until the middle of the last century, London's social calendar was dominated by 'the Season', a round of social events and parties during which the daughters of the privileged classes made their social 'debuts'. Debutantes and their families descended on the capital from all over the nation to take part in this elaborate process that in its blend of glamour, great privilege and archaic and sometimes comic ritual is emblematic of a world now lost.
