Bride's Chair, Changde, Hunan, China, ca. 1910-1937

Published/Created:

China, Asia
1910-1937

Notes:

Bride's Chair. Should be bright red - color is rather muted here. When I was little, I sometimes heard the bride weeping on her way to the wedding. And why not? Often she had never even seen her husband-to-be; and her mother-in-law? Chinese men are carrying an ornately decorated bride's chair through a city street.
Captions for this set of lantern slides from the papers of Oliver and Jennie Logan, American Presbyterian missionaries in Hunan, were provided by their daughter Elsa.
Also included in the International Mission Photography Archive.
