EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a picturesque Greek-Orthodox ceremony held in London, marking the joyous union of Miss Asquith, daughter of the former Prime Minister, and Romanian prince Bibesco. The image showcases the rich cultural traditions and religious significance of this momentous occasion. The bride and groom stand at the center, adorned with a golden circle crowning their heads by the Great Archimandrite. Surrounding them are bridesmaids, priests, and a congregation filled with well-wishers. Together they form a chain that encircles the altar three times, symbolizing unity and eternal love. The scene is resplendent with vibrant flowers adorning every corner of the church while candles illuminate the sacred space. The presence of political figures such as Earl of Oxford and Asquith adds to its grandeur. Beltrame Achille's masterful color litho brings to life every intricate detail - from ornate vestments worn by priests to ceremonial icons displayed prominently. This visual spectacle beautifully encapsulates both faith and romance intertwined in one unforgettable event. As we gaze upon this historical moment frozen in time, we witness not only a wedding but also an intersection between nations - England and Romania coming together through marriage. It serves as a testament to love's power to transcend borders and unite people from different backgrounds. This remarkable photograph invites us into an enchanting world where religion meets politics, tradition merges with modernity, creating an everlasting memory etched within our hearts forever.
