EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the historic moment of the choral marriage of the Reverend Arthur Thynne and Miss Kendall at the hallowed Westminster Abbey in London, July 1859. The image, published by ILN (Illustrated London News), showcases the grandeur and solemnity of the ceremony, with the couple standing before the ornately decorated altar, surrounded by the choir and clergy in their traditional robes. The bride, Miss Kendall, is depicted in a elegant Victorian wedding gown, with a long veil and a bouquet of flowers in her hand. The groom, the Reverend Thynne, wears the traditional academic gown of a clergyman. The scene is further enhanced by the intricate architectural details of the Abbey, with its magnificent stained-glass windows and ornate stonework. Choral marriages were a popular tradition in the Church of England during the Victorian era, where the wedding ceremony was conducted during a church service, with the choir singing hymns and responses. This practice added a sense of reverence and grandeur to the wedding ceremony, making it a fitting choice for the marriage of a clergyman such as the Reverend Thynne. This historical image provides a glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the traditions and customs of a bygone era. The intricate details of the engraving, from the robes of the clergy to the architectural details of the Abbey, offer a rich and detailed portrayal of the scene, transporting us back in time to the July day in 1859 when the Reverend Thynne and Miss Kendall exchanged their vows in the hallowed halls of Westminster Abbey.
