"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.
