The Waning of the Honeymoon - A Satirical Depiction of Victorian Marriage
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "The Waning of the Honeymoon" offers a humorous glimpse into the world of 19th-century marriage. Created by George du Maurier and published in his book Society Pictures, this satirical drawing captures the essence of post-wedding disillusionment. Set against a picturesque seaside backdrop, we see a newlywed couple lounging on the beach. The man appears disinterested and bored, while his wife looks equally unenthusiastic. Their mismatched expressions perfectly convey their disappointment with married life. Du Maurier's attention to detail is evident in the intricate costumes worn by both characters. These outfits reflect the fashion trends prevalent during that era, adding an authentic touch to this amusing scene. Through clever caricature and scathing satire, Du Maurier highlights societal expectations surrounding marriage at that time. This image serves as a reminder that even in seemingly idyllic settings like this coastal retreat, boredom can seep into relationships. "The Waning of the Honeymoon" not only provides us with entertainment but also offers valuable insight into Victorian society's views on love and matrimony. It reminds us that even in historical contexts, human emotions remain universal. As we gaze upon this digitally cleaned print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back to an era where humor was used to shed light on societal norms and expectations surrounding marriage – making it all too relatable for contemporary audiences as well.
