"A Village Wedding-train", by Nicholas Swertchkof, in the International Exhibition, 1862. Engraving of a painting. Everything bearing the name of characterised as Russian should at the present time be of interest, not only as belonging to our late and not unworthy enemies, though now, and we hope long to remain, our fast friends, but as relating to a people among whom one of the most remarkable revolutions recorded in history is taking place - a revolution which, though hitherto comparatively silent, threatens imminently, according to the best informed, to burst in to the most terrible social convulsions'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
A Village Wedding-train by Nicholas Swertchkof, showcased at the International Exhibition of 1862, is an engraving of a painting that captures the essence of a traditional Russian wedding scene. The image is filled with an air of excitement and celebration as a horse-drawn sleigh, adorned with furs and decorated with ribbons, carries the bride and groom through the snowy countryside. The bride, dressed in an elegant, colorful dress and a fur coat, sits next to her groom, who is also dressed in traditional Russian attire, complete with a heavy fur coat and hat. The scene is set against a backdrop of a quaint Russian village, with horses and other animals grazing in the fields and people gathered along the roadside to witness the joyous occasion. The icy road is lined with trees, their branches bare and covered in snow, adding to the wintery atmosphere. At the time of the exhibition, Russia was a subject of great interest to the British public due to the ongoing political and social changes taking place in the country. The Illustrated London News reported that "everything bearing the name of Russian should at the present time be of interest," and this painting was no exception. The Village Wedding-train is a beautiful representation of the rural life and traditions of Russia, capturing the spirit of a joyous occasion in a charming and timeless way.
