Wet Plate Collodion Photo Manchu Bride, John Thomson 1871-72

Great portrait by John Thomson. The man photographed royalty but also photographed all people. His work shows empathy for the lives of all. Check out the text in the second photo. I wonder how her life played out. How much happiness did she have?
