Fireman and Bride, c. 1860 - A Captivating Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This mesmerizing print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing an enchanting couple from the 19th century. Taken by an anonymous American photographer, this quarter-plate tintype has been meticulously hand-coloured with delicate gilt highlights. The image portrays a young fireman and his radiant bride standing proudly together outdoors. Dressed in their finest attire, they exude elegance and poise. The groom dons a smart jacket while sporting a hat adorned with gilded accents, symbolizing his noble profession as a firefighter. Both subjects gaze directly at the camera with confidence and grace, their hands lovingly intertwined. The artist's skillful hand colouring brings life to their portrait-style image, enhancing every detail of their clothing and accessories. Housed within a leather case that adds an air of sophistication to this cherished memento of matrimony, this printed photograph is believed to have been produced around 1860 – offering us a captivating glimpse into the past. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection today, it serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact. It reminds us of the enduring power of love amidst challenging times and pays homage to those who risked their lives for public safety during the mid-19th century. This framed image invites us to marvel at its beauty while sparking our imagination about the lives led by these two individuals united in marriage so long ago.
