EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from 19th century China. Taken around 1870 by renowned photographer John Thomson, it showcases two actors gracefully dancing on stage. The image exudes an air of elegance and sophistication, transporting us back to a time when theater was at the heart of Chinese culture. The two male actors, dressed in exquisite 19th century fashion, embody the essence of masculinity and virility through their powerful dance moves. Their expressive gestures captivate the audience as they effortlessly glide across the stage. This photograph not only highlights their exceptional talent but also provides a glimpse into the vibrant world of Chinese theater during this era. Beyond its artistic value, this photo offers valuable insights into everyday life in China during the late 19th century. It serves as a window into the diverse population and ethnicities that inhabited China at that time. Through ethnographic details captured by Thomson's lens, we can appreciate the rich cultural heritage present in every aspect of daily life. Patrice Cartier's expert restoration work has breathed new life into this historical gem, ensuring its preservation for future generations to admire and study.
