EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the 19th century showcases a skilled Chinese woman sewing leggings with utmost precision. The print, inspired by an original Chinese drawing, beautifully captures the artistry and dedication of this seamstress. Seated at a table, her feet bound in the traditional practice known as lily foot or lotus foot, she delicately works on creating these intricate garments. Despite her physical limitations caused by body modification, her expertise shines through as she meticulously stitches each seam. The lithograph offers a glimpse into the world of stocking-making during this era, highlighting both cultural practices and craftsmanship. It is evident that this woman belongs to the upper class due to her elegant dress and refined surroundings. The image also raises questions about societal norms and beauty standards prevalent at that time. The binding of women's feet was considered fashionable but resulted in deformities and disabilities for those who underwent it. Overall, this lithograph serves as a testament to human resilience and adaptability in pursuing their craft despite physical challenges. It invites viewers to appreciate not only the skill displayed but also reflect on historical practices that shaped women's lives in different cultures around the world.
