Summary

Description
English: A print from Reminiscences and Recollections of Captain Gronow: Being Anecdotes of Camp, Court, Club and Society 1810 to 1860 published in 1865. It shows a ball at Almack's, supposedly in the year 1815, and the couple on the left are annotated as 'Beau Brummell in Deep Conversation with the Duchess of Rutland'. According to the author the original was presented to Beau Brummell himself by the artist. This copy is from the collection of the British Museum.
A cursory comparison of dress styles and other images of Brummell demonstrates that the image depicts neither Brummell nor 1815. The dress style is late 1820s or early 1830s, and the profile more closely matches the Duke of Wellington's famous high-bridged nose than Brummell's dainty retroussé one.
