The First English Marriage in Cyprus, celebrated on Board HMS 'Monarch' at Larnaka
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by French artist Durand Godefroy. The artwork depicts a significant moment in history, capturing the essence of a 19th-century wedding ceremony taking place on board the majestic ship. In this scene, we are transported back to a time when love knew no boundaries and adventurous spirits sought new horizons. The HMS 'Monarch', an emblem of British naval power, becomes the unconventional setting for this joyous occasion. Against the backdrop of the picturesque town of Larnaka in Cyprus, two souls unite in matrimony amidst cheers and applause from their fellow sailors. The intricate details and skillful craftsmanship showcased by Godefroy bring life to every element within the composition. From the exquisite bridal gown adorned with delicate lace to the beaming faces of guests witnessing this historic event, each stroke tells its own story. This engraving not only captures a unique cultural exchange between England and Cyprus but also serves as a testament to human resilience and adaptability. It reminds us that love can flourish even under extraordinary circumstances – aboard a warship sailing across distant seas. Durand Godefroy's work continues to inspire awe and admiration for his ability to immortalize moments like these through artistry. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of our shared humanity and our capacity for love transcending borders and oceans alike.
