A Grand Spectacle of Eastern Splendor: The Chinese Imperial Wedding of 1873 as Chronicled by The Illustrated London News The Chinese Imperial Wedding of 1873 was an extravagant and awe-inspiring event that captivated the world. This stunning photograph print, taken from The Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and majesty of this historic occasion. The Illustrated London News, a leading British newspaper at the time, reported on the wedding in detail in its issue dated 4th January 1873. The article described the elaborate preparations for the wedding of the Emperor Tongzhi to his chosen bride, Empress Eling, who was only six years old at the time. The ceremony was held in the Forbidden City in Beijing, China's imperial palace complex, and was attended by thousands of officials, dignitaries, and commoners. The photograph captures the momentous occasion as the procession of the newlyweds makes its way through the Forbidden City. The Emperor, dressed in traditional imperial robes and wearing the imperial crown, sits regally on a palanquin, while Empress Eling, dressed in a beautiful red bridal gown and adorned with precious jewels, rides in a golden palanquin beside him. The procession is surrounded by a sea of colorful umbrellas held aloft by attendants to shield the royal couple from the sun. The Illustrated London News article provided a detailed account of the wedding rituals and customs, which included the exchange of gifts, the presentation of tributes, and the offering of prayers and sacrifices to the gods. The newspaper's vivid descriptions and this photograph print offer a fascinating window into the rich cultural heritage and traditions of imperial China.
