EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Wedding meal, garter ritual - c. 1812" takes us back in time to witness a fascinating moment from the past. The image captures a significant tradition during a wedding celebration in the early 19th century. Set against an elegant backdrop, we find ourselves immersed in this historical scene. The bride and groom are seated at the center of a lavishly decorated table, surrounded by their guests who are engaged in lively conversation and laughter. Their faces radiate joy and happiness as they partake in this special occasion. The focus of attention is directed towards the garter ritual taking place before our eyes. This age-old custom symbolizes good luck for the newlyweds as well as fertility for future generations. With great anticipation, the bride lifts her gown slightly while her husband kneels down to retrieve her garter with utmost care and affection. The artist's skillful rendering transports us into this intimate moment filled with love and tradition. Through his lens, Leonard de Selva masterfully captures not only the essence of this particular event but also provides us with a glimpse into the customs that shaped weddings during that era. This remarkable photograph serves as both a visual testament to history's enduring traditions and an exquisite piece of art that evokes emotions even centuries later.
