Photographer Erich Salomon took this photograph at a fancy dress ball held at the Austrian embassy in London in December 1937. The second person from the right is the pianist and composer Hilde Loewe-Flatter, who had been living in exile in London since 1934.

A new "Viennese song" by Hilde Loewe-Flatter was premièred at this event. Written under the pseudonym "Henry Love", it builds on Loewe-Flatter's work as a song composer in Vienna. Loewe-Flatter drew on the traditions and fashions of both her country of origin and her country of refuge: the composer specified that this waltz-style setting of a text by the well-known Viennese song writer Alfred Steinberg-Frank was to be performed at the tempo of an "English waltz", i.e. a slow waltz. Loewe-Flatter herself accompanied singer Maria Elsner at the piano. According to a report in the Neues Wiener Tagblatt of 14 December 1937, the audience was so enthusiastic that the song had to be repeated three times.

The official dedication above the musical score reads as follows: "Respectfully dedicated to his Excellency the Austrian Ambassador, Baron Georg Fran(c)kenstein". Baron Franckenstein appears second from left in the photo, next to the composer's husband, painter Otto Flatter. A few months later, after the annexation of Austria in March 1938, Baron Franckenstein also decided to emigrate. After being dismissed from his ambassadorial post, he remained in London and shortly afterwards became a British citizen.
