EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in history - the marriage of Baron Alphonse de Rothschild (1827-1905) and Leonora de Rothschild (1837-1911). The image, originally published in "The Illustrated London News" on March 14,1857, showcases the traditional Jewish wedding ceremony. In this enchanting scene, we witness an important custom known as the "broken glass". The Mary, beautifully adorned in her wedding dress, is seen learning to throw a drink on the floor. This act symbolizes the final stage of a Jewish marriage and holds deep religious significance. Surrounded by loved ones and guided by a rabbi within the walls of a synagogue, this union represents not only two individuals coming together but also carries with it centuries of tradition and faith. The rich cultural heritage of Judaism is palpable in every detail captured by the unknown artist who created this exquisite engraving. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are transported back to that momentous day when Baron Alphonse de Rothschild and Leonora de Rothschild joined their lives together. It serves as a reminder of love's enduring power across time and generations. Through Stefano Bianchetti's lens, we are granted access to an intimate glimpse into history - witnessing customs that have shaped countless marriages throughout Jewish communities worldwide. This image stands as a testament to both personal joy and collective celebration within one of society's most cherished institutions: marriage.
