EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "The Babylonian Marriage Market" takes us back to the ancient world of Mesopotamia. Created in 1915 by artist Ernest Wellcousins, it is a stunning reproduction of Edwin Longsden Long's original painting from the late 19th century. The scene depicts a bustling marketplace where men and women gather for the purpose of marriage. The vibrant colors bring to life the rich culture and traditions of Assyria and Babylonia. Men dressed in traditional attire engage in lively conversations while inspecting potential brides, who are adorned with elaborate garments and jewelry. This artwork offers a glimpse into the social dynamics and customs prevalent during that era. It reflects both the significance placed on marriage as well as the role of women in society at that time. The image evokes curiosity about how these unions were arranged, whether based on love or more practical considerations such as dowries or alliances between families. Donald Alexander Mackenzie's book, "Myths of Babylonia and Assyria" provides further context for this illustration, connecting it to legends and mythology associated with these ancient civilizations. As we admire this lithograph print today, we can appreciate its historical value as a window into an intriguing period long past. It serves as a reminder of our shared human experiences across centuries – love, tradition, religion – all woven together within this mesmerizing depiction of "The Babylonian Marriage Market. "
