EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the lively atmosphere of the Sixth meeting of the Female Parliament, a thought-provoking event held in 19th century London. The artwork, created by an anonymous English School artist, showcases a gathering of women passionately engaged in a debate that challenges societal norms. The advertisement for the University for Rational Amusement sets the stage for this intriguing discussion. Located at Casino on Great Marlborough Street, London, this institution aimed to provide intellectual entertainment to its patrons. In this particular meeting, the topic under scrutiny is whether it is more blameworthy for a woman to marry a young man or for a young woman to marry an old man. The image portrays animated exchanges between women from all walks of life as they express their opinions and defend their viewpoints. Their fervent gestures and intense expressions highlight their commitment to engaging in meaningful discourse. This engraving not only offers us a glimpse into historical gender dynamics but also serves as an advertisement itself. It promotes both rational amusement and critical thinking while subtly inviting viewers to visit Casino and indulge in intellectual stimulation. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of art from its private collection, allowing us to appreciate the intricate details and rich symbolism within it. As we observe these determined women challenging societal conventions with grace and eloquence, we are reminded of how far society has come while acknowledging that there is still progress yet to be made.
