This print captures the essence of a joyous occasion - another wedding. Illustrated by the renowned Charles Dickens in his novel "Dombey and Son" this image transports us back to Victorian England, immersing us in its rich cultural tapestry. The scene depicts a grand procession, with the bride at its center, radiating elegance and purity. Clad in her exquisite bridal gown, she embodies hope and new beginnings. Walking beside her is her proud father, who exudes both love and apprehension as he gives away his beloved daughter. Surrounding them are members of their extended family, forming a queue that stretches into the distance. Each character tells a story - from the beaming mother-of-the-bride to mischievous children eagerly awaiting their turn to throw confetti. This illustration beautifully encapsulates the spirit of Dickensian society - where weddings were not just personal affairs but also social events that brought communities together.
