1857 Bovary Emma Fiddler Flaubert Madame Musician Pastoral Procession
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the scene of the wedding procession leading Emma Bovary and her groom, Charles, through the picturesque countryside of 19th century France. The photograph, published by Mary Evans Picture Library from their extensive historical collection, transports us back to the pastoral world of Gustave Flaubert's classic novel, "Madame Bovary." Emma, the beautiful and disillusioned protagonist, is seen in her bridal finery, her veil billowing in the wind as she is led by her new husband. The procession is led by a lone fiddler, his melancholic tune setting the mood for the bittersweet celebration. The scene is filled with the vibrant colors of the Victorian era, from the rich reds and greens of the bridesmaids' dresses to the lush greenery of the surrounding landscape. The photograph, taken in 1857, offers a glimpse into the history of marriage during this time period. The traditional procession, led by a musician, was a common practice in rural France, adding an air of festivity and celebration to the occasion. The image also highlights the importance of literature and the written word in the Victorian era, as Flaubert's novel had been published just a few decades prior and had already become a cultural touchstone. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art, but also a window into the past, offering us a glimpse into the world of Emma Bovary and the traditions of a bygone era.
