Four Heads, Types of the Labouring Class, c. 1868 - A Glimpse into the Lives of Working People in 19th Century China
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by John Thomson takes us back to 1868, offering a rare glimpse into the lives of working people in China during the late 19th century. Titled "Four Heads, Types of the Labouring Class" this image is part of Thomson's renowned album "Illustrations of China and its People". The photograph showcases four individuals from different walks of life within the labouring class. The elderly man with weathered features represents wisdom gained through years of hard work. Beside him stands a young man embodying strength and determination as he carries out his occupation. On the other side, we see a woman dressed in traditional costume, her face reflecting resilience amidst daily struggles. Next to her is a young girl who symbolizes hope for future generations. Thomson's composition not only captures their unique appearances but also hints at their individual stories and social backgrounds. Through his lens, we witness how clothing choices reflect cultural heritage while highlighting distinctions between various professions. As an influential British photographer based in Scotland, John Thomson dedicated himself to documenting diverse cultures around the world. His photographs serve as valuable historical records that shed light on societal structures and traditions far beyond our own time. Today, this vintage collotype print serves as both art and education—an invitation to explore history through visual storytelling at Chicago's Art Institute Gallery where it resides among other remarkable works from around the globe.
