Notes

General Note:
The demure bride sits quietly on her bed while around her chaos ensues in the form of rampaging boys encouraged by their mothers. Traditionally before the bridal couple was left alone for the night, the custom had it that little boys were allowed to enter the bridal chamber to turn it topsy turvy. This apparently ensured that the couple would be blessed with many sons. The name Meng Jiao is the pseudonym of female artist Li Chihong. She is thought to have lived in Jiangsu during the latter part of the 19th century, and she was also known as a poet and musician. During the 1890s when the Taohuawu print shops were in decline, many Suzhou craftsmen left to work for Shanghai, where the Suzhou artist Wu Youru (7-1893) had set up his Feiyingge print shop.
