EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image captures the essence of a Swiss bride and groom from circa 1800, as they proudly display their marriage blessings in the picturesque town of Lucerne. The bride, elegantly dressed in a traditional Swiss costume, wears a high-waisted, full-skirted dress adorned with intricate floral trimming and a ruff at the neckline. Her headdress is a stunning creation of lace, ribbons, and flowers, topped with a tall, conical hat. The groom, a proud and distinguished figure, dons a crisp, white shirt with a high collar, black breeches, and a waistcoat, fastened with elegant mother-of-pearl buttons. His beard is neatly trimmed, and he wears a traditional Swiss hat, embellished with a cross, signifying his middle or bourgeois class. The couple's joyful expressions and the warm, inviting atmosphere of the scene make this a truly captivating snapshot of Swiss history and tradition.
