EDITORS COMMENTS
In this satirical lithograph titled "Catching June Brides in Prehistoric Times" artist John B. Gruelle takes us back to the early 20th century with a humorous depiction of courtship and marriage. Created for Judges Magazine in 1915, this comic illustration pokes fun at the rituals surrounding weddings. Set in a prehistoric village, we see cavemen chasing after women, symbolizing the age-old pursuit of love and romance. The exaggerated caricatures add an element of comedy to the scene as men desperately try to catch their potential brides. Gruelle's witty commentary on courtship and mating highlights the timeless nature of human relationships. The image captures both the absurdity and excitement that often accompany wedding ceremonies throughout history. With its clever satire and comedic undertones, this cartoon-like artwork offers a lighthearted perspective on marriage customs from a bygone era. It reminds us that even in ancient times, people sought companionship through courtship and eventually tied the knot. This print serves as a reminder that humor has always played a role in our understanding of love, marriage, and societal norms. Gruelle's playful approach invites viewers to reflect on how traditions have evolved over time while finding amusement in our shared human experiences.
