EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "It Was the Custom Then to Bring Away the Bride From Home, 1885" takes us back to a bygone era in American history. Created by the talented artist Will H. Low, this piece beautifully captures a scene that echoes ancient Greek customs. In this illustration, we witness a significant moment in time when it was customary for brides to be taken away from their homes upon marriage. The figures depicted exude an air of elegance and grace as they partake in this age-old tradition. The meticulous use of black, gray, and white gouache on cream wood pulp laminate board adds depth and texture to the artwork. Low's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays both male and female characters with great precision. Their clothing reflects the fashion trends of 19th-century America while also drawing inspiration from ancient Greece. The composition transports us back in time, allowing us to immerse ourselves in a world where love, marriage, and cultural practices intertwine seamlessly. This print not only showcases Low's artistic prowess but also serves as a testament to his deep appreciation for history and literature. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago alongside other remarkable prints and drawings from various periods, this work stands out as a testament to our rich heritage and serves as an invitation for viewers to explore different cultures through art.
