Mandarin with Family, 1860-1863
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a poignant moment in time, offering a glimpse into the lives of an affluent Chinese family during the late 19th century. Created by Milton M. Miller, this black and white albumen print showcases his mastery in capturing both the essence of individuals and their cultural heritage. In this portrait, we see a mandarin - a high-ranking government official - surrounded by his family members. The man exudes authority and wisdom as he holds an intricately designed fan in his hand. His presence commands respect and admiration from those around him. The composition beautifully frames the mandarin's wife and children beside him. The woman radiates elegance with her traditional attire, while the children display innocence and curiosity through their youthful expressions. Their clothing reflects their social status within Chinese society at that time. Miller's attention to detail is evident throughout the photograph; each individual is portrayed with remarkable clarity despite being captured on albumen silver print from glass negative technology of that era. This historic image not only serves as a visual record but also invites us to reflect upon our shared human experiences across cultures and centuries. It reminds us of the importance of preserving our heritage art for future generations to appreciate and learn from. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, "Mandarin with Family" stands as a testament to Milton M. Miller's artistic prowess while providing valuable insights into China's rich history during its transformative period in the mid-19th
