A photograph of the wedding party of the American missionary and author William Jackson Callahan and Martha Taylor Callahan, taken at the Kwassui Girls' School (later Kwassui Women's University) in Nagasaki. At the time, Taylor was representing the Women's Board of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and serving perhaps as principal of the school, which had been started in 1879.
