The great advertising ball of the season
In the interior of a large room where the over-sized mantle is labeled “Vanderbilt,” many of the decorations are for sale, as well as clothing displayed on lifeless figures. All items have price tags with value indicated. (The Vanderbilt ball was held on March 26, 1883, the grandest social event of the season.)
