EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Awarding the Flitch of Dunmow in the Last Century" takes us back to a bygone era filled with customs and traditions. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into a unique celebration that has stood the test of time. The scene depicts the long-standing tradition of awarding the coveted Flitch of Dunmow, symbolized by a flitch (side) of bacon. Set in Dunmow, Essex during the last century, this event held great significance for married couples who could prove their unwavering love and devotion to one another. To win this esteemed prize, couples had to convince a jury that they had not regretted their marriage for at least one year and one day. As we observe this historical moment frozen in time, we witness jubilant faces beaming with pride as deserving recipients are presented with their well-deserved flitches. The atmosphere is alive with excitement as onlookers cheer and applaud these fortunate couples who have successfully passed through life's trials together. Through this enchanting image, we are transported back to an era where customs were cherished and celebrated. It serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times, certain traditions endure as symbols of enduring love and commitment. This remarkable engraving allows us to appreciate both our shared history and those timeless values that continue to shape our lives today.
