EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in Chinese history, as two women, both with their feet bound in the traditional Chinese practice, pose for the camera in the late 19th century. The image, taken during the 1870s or 1880s, offers a glimpse into the lives of Chinese women during the height of the Qing Dynasty and the increasing influence of Western colonial powers. The women's clothing, with their long, flowing robes and intricately patterned jackets, reflect the rich textile traditions of the time. Their bound feet, a symbol of femininity and elongated toes, were a sign of beauty and desirability in Chinese society, despite the painful and debilitating process involved. The practice, which began in the 10th century, was widely spread throughout China and was not abolished until the early 20th century. The photograph, taken on an albumen print, is a valuable ethnographic record of this colonial era in Chinese history. It provides insight into the indigenous culture and traditions that were undergoing significant change as the world became more interconnected. The image also offers a poignant reminder of the complex and nuanced history of China, a country that has played a pivotal role in shaping the world as we know it today. As we look at this photograph, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of a culture that continues to captivate and inspire us, even as it evolves and adapts to the modern world.
