EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early part of the eighteenth century in London, England. It depicts a wedding ceremony taking place in the infamous Fleet prison, known for its clandestine weddings during that time period. The engraving, created by an unknown English artist in the 19th century, beautifully captures the historical significance and atmosphere of this unique event. The image showcases a moment filled with both joy and desperation as two individuals exchange vows within the confines of this unconventional venue. The bride is adorned in a traditional white gown while her groom stands beside her, dressed elegantly for their special day. Surrounding them are witnesses and guests who have gathered to witness this forbidden union. The Fleet prison was notorious for hosting secret weddings due to its lax regulations compared to other venues at that time. Couples would often choose this location if they faced obstacles such as disapproving families or financial constraints. Despite being confined within these walls, love found a way to flourish amidst adversity. This print serves as a visual testament to the resilience and determination of couples who defied societal norms for love's sake. It offers us a glimpse into an era where romance knew no boundaries and celebrates the power of love even in unlikely circumstances.
