EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph titled "The Marriage Wheel" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the intricate dynamics of matrimony during that era. The print showcases an illustration originally featured in The Review of Reviews, edited by W T Stead in July-December 1896. In this fascinating artwork, we witness a complex web of relationships and possibilities represented by a wheel. This metaphorical marriage wheel presents various combinations involving bachelors, spinsters, widowers, and widows. It serves as a visual representation of the intricacies involved in finding suitable partners for marriage. As we delve into this historical piece, it becomes evident that marriages were not solely based on love but often influenced by societal norms and practical considerations. The wheel highlights how individuals from different backgrounds would come together through arranged marriages or strategic alliances to form new unions. "The Marriage Wheel" provides valuable insight into the social fabric of England and Wales during this period. It reminds us that statistics and statistical analysis have long played a role in understanding human behavior within historical contexts. Through this lithograph's detailed depiction of weddings and its exploration of marital connections, we are transported to an era where personal choices intertwined with societal expectations.
