John Thomson's "Actors, Ancient Marriage Costume" is a photographic album page featuring four images, capturing a performance of a traditional Chinese marriage ceremony. These images, dated c. 1868, showcase the intricate costumes and poses of the actors. The album page is a fascinating record of Chinese theatre and the artistry of the performers. The images are a part of the The Art Institute of Chicago collection and a valuable contribution to the study of cultural documentation, historical costuming, and photography.
