The Vegetable Wedding No.5: The Family, 1900, Mary Evans Picture Library This intriguing and whimsical photograph, "The Vegetable Wedding No.5: The Family," by an unknown artist, presents a unique and imaginative take on the traditional family portrait. Instead of human subjects, this image features an array of vegetables, each meticulously arranged to resemble a human family. The scene is set at a table adorned with a white tablecloth, reminiscent of a wedding reception. At the head of the table, an artichoke proudly wears a top hat, acting as the patriarch of the family. To his right, a carrot, dressed in a suit and tie, represents the father figure. The mother, a plump onion, is depicted in a flowing dress, her layers of skin carefully peeled back to reveal the inner layers of her family. A courgette, dressed in a long, flowing gown, acts as the motherly figure, tenderly holding a small radish, symbolizing the youngest child. The Vegetable Wedding series, of which this is the fifth installment, gained popularity during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These photographs were a form of artistic expression, showcasing the creativity and imagination of the photographers. The use of vegetables as human subjects was a commentary on the passage of time, the cyclical nature of life, and the connection between food and family. This photograph, "The Vegetable Wedding No.5: The Family," is a testament to the power of art and the human imagination. It invites us to see the world in a new light, to find humor and wonder in the ordinary, and to appreciate the connections that bind us, whether they be between vegetables or humans.
