EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Thoughts on Matrimony" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of marriage and relationships during that time. The image showcases a group of women, elegantly dressed in fashionable attire and adorned with exquisite hats. Their half-length portraits capture their contemplative expressions as they ponder the concept of matrimony. The artist, John Raphael Smith, skillfully designed this lithograph to convey his thoughts on marriage through visual storytelling. Engraved by William Ward, it depicts an old print that has been faithfully reproduced for posterity. The accompanying quote advises against hasty marriages: "Take this much of my counsel, and marry not in haste, for she that takes the best of husbands puts on a golden fetter". Published as part of a supplement to The Graphic in June 1889, this artwork provides valuable insight into societal attitudes towards marriage at that time. It reminds us that thoughtful consideration is essential when choosing a life partner. As we admire this historical piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back to an era where fashion intertwined with deep reflections on love and commitment. This print invites us to reflect upon our own views on matrimony while appreciating the timeless beauty captured within its frames.
