EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back in time to witness a historical event of great significance. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the famous Dunmow Flitch of Bacon ceremony. The scene depicts a lively procession filled with jubilant participants and curious onlookers. The streets are adorned with colorful banners and decorations, creating an atmosphere of celebration and merriment. Men dressed in traditional attire proudly carry a massive flitch of bacon on their shoulders, symbolizing marital bliss and loyalty. This engraving offers us a glimpse into the rich history of Dunmow, where couples who could prove they had been happily married for one year and one day were rewarded with this esteemed prize. The tradition dates back centuries, making it an integral part of local folklore. With meticulous attention to detail, the artist has captured every aspect of this grand event – from the expressions on people's faces to the intricate designs on their clothing. Through this image, we can almost hear the cheers and laughter echoing through time. Thanks to digital restoration techniques applied to this artwork, its original charm has been preserved for generations to come. As we admire "The Dunmow Procession" let us appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its historical importance as it transports us back to 1751 when love was celebrated with bacon!
