"A Canadian Indian Marriage Ceremony" is an illustration by Italian artist Gallo Gallina, featured in the book "Le Costume Ancien et Moderne" (The Ancient and Modern Costume), which was written by historian Giulio Ferrario and published in the early 19th century. The work is part of a comprehensive study of world costumes and cultural traditions, and Gallina's illustration specifically depicts the nuptial ceremony of indigenous peoples in Canada, as understood and interpreted by European observers of the time.

The illustration is notable for its detailed representation of the attire and ceremonial practices of the Canadian indigenous population during a marriage event. Gallina's work, along with others in Ferrario's collection, aimed to provide a visual record of the customs and fashions of various societies, often reflecting the European fascination with "exotic" cultures during the colonial era. However, it is important to approach such historical representations critically, as they may carry the biases and misconceptions of their creators and the colonial context in which they were produced.

The book "Le Costume Ancien et Moderne" was an ambitious project that sought to document the global diversity of human dress and ceremonies, and it remains a valuable resource for researchers interested in the history of ethnography and the perception of non-European cultures by Europeans in the 19th century. Gallina's illustration of a Canadian Indian marriage ceremony is one of many that contribute to the visual anthology of cultural practices, offering insights into the era's anthropological interests and the artistic techniques used to convey them.
