Caption: "Marriage Ceremony of the Russians, late 18th century - A Glimpse into Russian Orthodox Traditions". This print by artist J Hall takes us back to the late 18th century, offering a European depiction of a traditional marriage ceremony in Russia. The scene showcases the rich cultural heritage and religious customs prevalent during that era. Underneath an elegantly adorned canopy within the walls of a magnificent church, we witness a couple embarking on their sacred union. The bride, dressed in her finest attire, exudes grace and beauty as she stands beside her groom. Surrounding them are family members and friends who have gathered to witness this joyous occasion. A priest from the Russian Orthodox Church presides over the ceremony, symbolizing Christianity's significant role in Russian society at that time. With his solemn presence and blessings, he sanctifies this union according to age-old traditions. The print captures not only the essence of marriage but also provides insights into typical gender roles portrayed during this period. While men dominate much of public life depicted here with their formal attire, it is evident that women play an equally important role behind closed doors. Samuel Wale's meticulous attention to detail brings authenticity to every element showcased in this artwork – from architectural features to intricate costumes worn by each individual present. As we gaze upon this historical image captured through monochrome lensing techniques, we are transported back centuries ago; reminded of how love transcends time while celebrating diverse cultures around our
