EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time from 1883, as young girls return from confirmation in France. The image exudes a sense of innocence and purity, with the girls dressed in their finest attire for this important religious ceremony. The artist, Alexander Laby, skillfully portrays the joy and solemnity of the occasion on the faces of these young ladies. Their expressions range from excitement to contemplation, reflecting the significance of their confirmation experience. As they make their way home through the streets of France, one can imagine the sense of pride and accomplishment they must have felt after completing this rite of passage. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, where traditions and customs held great importance in society. The Girls own paper from London featured this illustration in November 1883, showcasing not only the beauty of the artwork but also providing insight into cultural practices during that time period. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come since then while also highlighting the timeless nature of certain rituals and ceremonies.
