What I have sewed together, let no one rip asunder
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a whimsical and humorous chromolitho print from the 19th century. This delightful illustration captures the essence of love, marriage, and domestic harmony with a touch of comedy. The scene depicts a newlywed couple standing side by side, dressed in their wedding attire. The bride holds a sewing machine while the groom clutches a pair of scissors. Cupid hovers above them, symbolizing their union brought about by love's arrow. With its clever play on words and visual puns, this trade card advertisement showcases the importance of clothing and garment-making in marital bliss. It humorously suggests that once two souls are joined in matrimony, nothing should tear them apart – not even an accidental "rip assunder". This charming artwork reflects both the historical context of late 19th or early 20th-century fashion trends and advertising techniques. It serves as a reminder that clothing played a significant role not only in personal style but also in societal norms surrounding marriage and relationships. Whether displayed for decorative purposes or used as part of an advertising campaign, this print brings joy to any space it graces. Its vibrant colors and lighthearted subject matter make it an ideal conversation starter or gift for those who appreciate art with wit and charm.
