Regency Ball at Château Marquette, November 26th

In 1811, during the time of Jane Austen, Napoleon Bonaparte traveled through The Netherlands. Large events were organized in honor of the emperor. Step back 200 years for one evening on November 26th to attend an historic ball organized by the Society Revérence at the Château Marquette in Heemskerk. Find more information about the event at http://www.stichtingreverence.nl/

The video is captioned in Dutch, but the images tell the tale.

November 26th was the date of the Netherfield Ball in P&P. I know because it's also my birthday!
