EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Too much Matrimony, 1650" by Arthur Moreland takes us back in time to the comical and amusing world of 17th-century Germany. The image, digitally cleaned for a clearer view, was originally created as an illustration for Moreland's book, "The History of the Hun" published in 1917. In this humorous scene, we witness a satirical take on the consequences of excessive matrimony during the Thirty Years' War. With its witty depiction and clever details, it offers a lighthearted commentary on the population boom that occurred during this tumultuous period in history. The artist skillfully captures the essence of German culture through his comical portrayal of characters dressed in traditional attire. Through their exaggerated expressions and gestures, we are transported into a world where laughter prevails even amidst war and political turmoil. As we explore this engraving further, we are reminded of how art has always served as both entertainment and historical documentation. It allows us to glimpse into different eras while providing insight into societal norms and values. "Too much Matrimony" not only tickles our funny bone but also serves as a reminder that humor can be found even in challenging times. This artwork is a testament to Arthur Moreland's talent as an illustrator who effortlessly combines history with comedy to create an entertaining piece that continues to captivate viewers today.
