EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, captured by the London Stereoscopic Company in 1880, we are transported back to a time of forbidden love and unexpected mishaps. Titled "Pitfalls Of Romance" the image tells a humorous tale of an illicit tryst between a young couple that takes an unforeseen turn. The scene unfolds with a sense of anticipation as we see a dashing gentleman and his beautiful female companion engaged in their secret rendezvous. Their faces reveal both excitement and trepidation, hinting at the risks they are taking for their forbidden love. However, fate has other plans for this star-crossed duo. As if mocking their clandestine affair, the visiting gentleman finds himself slipping into a water butt just moments before their embrace reaches its peak. The comic twist adds an element of surprise to the narrative, leaving us wondering how such an unfortunate accident could befall them. The composition is expertly framed within a portrait format against what appears to be a wall or fence backdrop. We notice another figure in the background climbing up on something while watching the unfolding drama with amusement or perhaps concern. This vintage print from London Stereoscopic Company's archive offers not only artistic value but also serves as a reminder that even in matters of romance, life can throw unexpected obstacles our way.
