EDITORS COMMENTS
A Chinese Marriage Procession: An Exotic Spectacle of Love and Tradition, as Depicted in the Illustrated London News, 1873 The Illustrated London News, a leading British weekly newspaper of the Victorian era, captured the attention of its readers with a vivid account and illustration of a Chinese marriage procession in an article published on January 4, 1873. This event, a testament to the richness and intricacy of Chinese culture, was a spectacle that left an indelible mark on the European imagination. The procession, led by musicians and dancers, was a grand display of the couple's commitment to each other and their families. The bride, resplendent in a red wedding gown, was carried on a palanquin, accompanied by her attendants, all adorned in traditional Chinese garb. The groom, dressed in a formal robe and hat, walked alongside, his expression a mixture of anticipation and reverence. The article described the scene as follows: "The bride, in a richly-embroidered robe of red, the color of good fortune, was borne aloft in a palanquin, surrounded by her female attendants, all dressed in the same color, and carrying lanterns, which were lighted as the procession advanced. The groom, in a long robe of black, with a tall hat surmounted by a pair of dragons, walked beside the palanquin, accompanied by his male attendants, all similarly attired." The procession wound its way through the bustling streets of the Chinese quarter, drawing the gaze of onlookers, both Chinese and European. The article noted that "the European residents of the city were much attracted by the procession, and many of them followed it to the temple where the marriage ceremony was to be performed." This Chinese marriage procession, as recorded in the Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions of China during the late 19th century, providing a window into a world that was both exotic and intriguing to the European audience of the time.
