EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print from Mary Evans Prints Online captures a historical depiction of divorce in 1903. Titled "What Divorce Means (HE gets rid of HER)", the image showcases the stark reality of how divorce was perceived and carried out during that time period.
In this scene, we see a man standing with his back to the camera, while a woman is walking away from him with her head bowed down. The body language and composition of the photograph clearly convey the idea that in this era, divorce meant that the husband had the power to get rid of his wife.
The image sheds light on the customs and attitudes towards marriage and separation in early 20th century society. It serves as a reminder of how women were often at a disadvantage when it came to divorce proceedings, with men holding all the power and control over their marital status.
Despite its somber subject matter, this print is an important historical document that reflects on past societal norms and practices surrounding divorce. It prompts us to reflect on how far we have come in terms of gender equality and legal rights for individuals going through separation today.
