Framed Print of "Gentle, Loving, Good, Wearing the Rose of Womanhood", drawn by Emily Mitchell, 1883. Creator: William Biscombe Gardner
"Gentle, Loving, Good, Wearing the Rose of Womanhood", drawn by Emily Mitchell, 1883. The symbolic meaning of this floral ornament will perhaps be differently understood, by the wearer and by her many admirers, in accordance with their...notions of what should be esteemed the true charms of the amiable sex. Youthful beauty, grace of form and gesture, a fascinating address, or skill in the elegant proprieties of social and domestic life, may certainly be regarded as peculiarly excellent in an accomplished woman; but [Shakspeare] seems to think her chief attraction, the very "rose" of her fair being, consists of moral purity and sweetness...the artist has...[drawn] a figure and face not only beautiful and graceful, but expressive of those virtues without which the prettiest, or the most distinguished in company, will scarcely be able, six months after marriage, to keep her husband's heart safely at home. As Shakspeare says..."Oh, how much more doth beauty beauteous seem By that sweet ornament which truth doth give! The rose looks fair, but fairer we it deem For that sweet odour, which in it doth live. This is the moral of the picture, which is...a very pleasing one, and a proof that good women are sometimes, though not invariably, handsome'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
