Описание к видео A 78rpm party invitation from 1916. Pressed by Columbia for someone with a lot of money.

One of the strangest private records you will come across; this is a recorded invitation to a costume party from 1916.

Having these invitations made would have cost over $100 in 1916 cash, which translates to over $3000 today.

The party was being thrown by businessman Sidney Berney at the Belvedere in Baltimore. The theme was Middle Eastern/Asian/Eastern European and required the attendees to dress as someone from one of the countries mentioned on the recording.
