This engraving, titled "Illustration to Dorothy Forster" transports us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of women, marriage, and fashion during that era. Created by Walter Besant and engraved by Charles Green, this print showcases the intricate details of clothing and illustrates the essence of a wedding celebration. In this scene, we witness a group of elegantly dressed men and women gathered together for what appears to be a joyous occasion. The central focus is on two bridesmaids who stand beside an exquisite bride adorned in a stunning gown. Their attire reflects the fashionable trends of the time with its elaborate designs and meticulous craftsmanship.
