EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in Chinese culture - the procession of a bride as she embarks on her journey home to her husband. Engraved by N. Parr, this 18th-century artwork showcases the intricate details of this traditional ceremony. The image transports us back in time, immersing us in the vibrant atmosphere of a wedding celebration. The bride is elegantly carried in a covered litter, surrounded by an entourage that includes family members and friends. The groom patiently awaits his beloved's arrival at their marital home. Every element within the photograph tells a story: from the beautifully adorned sedan chair to the majestic horses leading the way. The sunshade provides respite from the scorching sun as they traverse through picturesque landscapes. This depiction not only highlights customs associated with marriage but also offers insights into Taoism, as it was often intertwined with these ceremonies. It serves as a testament to China's rich cultural heritage and its emphasis on tradition. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, we are reminded of how rituals like these have shaped Asian lifestyles for centuries. This particular engraving encapsulates both joyous celebration and profound meaning behind nuptials in ancient China.
