EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Mae Pon, a Chinese girl living in Bangkok in 1898. Created by Christian Wilhelm Allers, this portrait showcases a young girl holding a delicate fan while wearing a traditional topknot hairstyle. The image is taken from Allers' book "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth), where he both wrote and illustrated his observations. Mae Pon's attire reflects her cultural heritage, with intricate clothing adorned with beautiful jewelry such as bracelets. Her harem trousers add to the uniqueness of her outfit, representing the fashion trends of that era. Despite being captured in monochrome tones, the lithograph conveys an air of elegance and grace. Christian Wilhelm Allers was renowned for his ability to capture people's personalities through his artwork, and this portrait is no exception. Through Mae Pon's eyes, we catch a glimpse into her world during the late 19th century. The print serves as a testament to both Allers' artistic talent and Mae Pon's individuality within her community. Preserved by The Print Collector, it allows us to appreciate not only their work but also gain insight into historical periods long gone by.
