EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the March of the Women Collection takes us back to the 1940s, a time when the world was engulfed in World War II. The image depicts a scene from a children's short story illustration titled "Silver For A Wedding," where Penelope Rivers is seen admiring her reflection as she tries on her wedding dress. In this poignant moment captured by an unattributed artist, we see Penelope filled with anticipation and hope despite the wartime backdrop. The silver hues of her dress shimmer in the light, symbolizing love and resilience amidst chaos and uncertainty. As Penelope stands before the mirror, surrounded by friends and loved ones, we are reminded of the power of human connection during times of adversity. The annual tradition of celebrating weddings continues even in wartime, offering moments of joy and unity in a world torn apart by conflict. Through this evocative illustration, we are transported to a different era where courage and love prevailed against all odds. It serves as a reminder that even in dark times, there is always room for beauty, hope, and celebration.
