EDITORS COMMENTS
PDC-F-003928-0000 captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time, transporting us to the late 19th century. In this enchanting full-length portrait, two small Chinese girls proudly showcase their traditional attire. Their delicate features and innocent expressions reflect the essence of youth and cultural heritage. Dressed in vibrant, intricately designed garments, these young girls epitomize elegance and grace. The focal point of the photograph lies at their feet, where they exhibit the characteristic high-heeled pointed clogs that were popular during that era. These wooden shoes add an intriguing element to their ensemble, symbolizing tradition and fashion intertwined. The date of this print is estimated to be around 1880-1890, offering us a glimpse into a bygone era when such clothing styles were prevalent among Asian populations. This snapshot serves as a valuable anthropological artifact that sheds light on historical fashion trends within Chinese culture. While we admire the beauty of these costumes and accessories worn by our subjects, it is important to remember that this image represents more than just clothing choices. It signifies identity - both individual and collective - as well as national pride for the people captured within its frame. Although the author remains unidentified, Alinari has preserved this piece of history for generations to come. As we gaze upon this photograph today, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its significance in documenting humanity's rich tapestry.
