EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Marriage of Doctor Dicky Bend, 1820" takes us back to the early 19th century. Created by renowned artist Thomas Rowlandson as part of William Combe's book "The Second Tour of Doctor Syntax, In Search of Consolation" this image is a delightful blend of artistry and satire. In this scene, we witness a wedding ceremony unfolding in a quaint church. The focal point is Dr. Dicky Bend himself, a fictional character brought to life through Combe's literary genius. As the bride and groom stand before the altar, surrounded by their congregation, all eyes are on them. Rowlandson's etching skillfully captures the essence of this momentous occasion while injecting humor into every detail. From the exaggerated expressions on the faces of guests to the comical antics happening in every corner, it is evident that no one can escape his sharp wit. As we observe this scene from another era, we are reminded not only of the importance placed on marriage but also how society viewed professions such as medicine during that time period. It serves as a window into both religious customs and societal expectations surrounding weddings in the 19th century. This print stands as a testament to Rowlandson's talent for caricature and storytelling through art. It invites us to step into an imaginary world where laughter mingles with tradition—a perfect addition for any lover of history or fine art seeking an intriguing glimpse into days gone by.
