Sub Rosa - A Glimpse into Victorian Secrets and Female Friendship
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white lithograph, titled "Sub Rosa" takes us back to the late 19th century in Britain. The image showcases two women engrossed in an intimate conversation, their confiding gestures hinting at a deep bond of trust and friendship. The setting is beautifully detailed with ornate robes draped around them as they sit together. One woman's long hair cascades down her back as she delicately brushes it, adding an air of vulnerability to the scene. Their attire reflects the fashion of the era, transporting us to a time when elegance was paramount. The term "sub rosa" refers to secrecy or confidentiality, suggesting that these women are sharing something private and personal. Perhaps they are discussing matters deemed inappropriate for public discourse or seeking solace in each other's company during a time when societal norms restricted female expression. This print offers a glimpse into the hidden lives of Victorian women – their desires, struggles, and unspoken dreams. It reminds us that even within restrictive social structures, true friendships can flourish as sources of support and understanding. As we admire this historical artwork from Germany's rich cultural heritage within Europe, let us appreciate its significance in shedding light on untold stories from the past. This piece invites contemplation about how trust among friends transcends boundaries imposed by society throughout history.
