Invitation, 1930

A Buckingham Palace garden party invitation sent by The Lord Chamberlain on behalf of King George V and Queen Mary to Mr and Mrs Gypsy Smith in 1930. At the time, royal garden parties were still regarded as the highlight of the social calendar, and the invitation is indicative of the high regard in which Gypsy was held.

This document is part of a small archive of objects in connection with Gypsy Smith in the museum's collection. See also a selection of other works on paper from the Gypsy Smith archive in the Online Collection.
