EDITORS COMMENTS

The aerial view allows us to appreciate the architectural beauty of the abbey, with its high ceilings and Gothic features. The guests are seated in pews, their faces filled with anticipation and excitement for the union about to take place. Men dressed in their finest attire symbolize the high class society of 19th century Britain. The bride and groom remain unseen, adding an air of mystery to the scene. Doré's engraving skillfully depicts both the historical significance and religious importance of this event.
