The Marriageable Man
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing and satirical image from the year 1842, captured in a photographic print now available on Mary Evans Prints Online. The scene depicts an eager suitor, who stands before a table laden with an assortment of gifts, attempting to win the hearts of two sisters. One sister sings sweetly to him, while the other sighs wistfully, seemingly torn between her affection for the suitor and her reluctance to let go. Their mother, ever watchful and protective, hovers over the scene, ensuring that her daughters make the right choice and that this eligible suitor is firmly hooked. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the marriage customs of the time, where the approval of parents was a crucial factor in the selection of a spouse. The sisters' contrasting reactions to the suitor highlight the complexities and uncertainties of the courtship process, while the mother's role as matchmaker and gatekeeper adds an extra layer of intrigue to the scene. The satirical tone of the photograph is evident in the exaggerated expressions and poses of the figures, which add a touch of humor to the serious business of finding a suitable husband. The use of props, such as the gifts on the table, further emphasizes the importance of material possessions in the marriage market of the time. Overall, "The Marriageable Man" is a captivating and thought-provoking image that offers a unique insight into the social norms and customs of the 19th century, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of marriage and courtship.
