EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "A lily footed woman of China" offers a glimpse into the intriguing cultural practice of foot binding that was prevalent in early 20th century China. Taken around 1905 during the Ching Dynasty, this stereograph captures the delicate yet haunting beauty of a Chinese woman with bound feet. Foot binding was an excruciatingly painful tradition practiced primarily by upper-class women as a symbol of beauty and social status. The process involved tightly wrapping young girls' feet to prevent normal growth, resulting in deformed and extremely small feet known as "lily feet". This image serves as a stark reminder of the extreme measures some societies have taken to conform to societal standards of attractiveness. The photograph showcases not only the physical effects but also highlights traditional Chinese clothing worn by this woman. Her attire reflects her elevated social position within society while simultaneously revealing the limitations imposed on her mobility due to her bound feet. While it is important to acknowledge the historical significance and cultural context surrounding practices like foot binding, we must also recognize its inherent cruelty and disregard for human well-being. This thought-provoking image invites us to reflect on how notions of beauty can sometimes lead individuals down paths that cause immense pain and suffering. As we examine this photograph from over a century ago, let us remember that progress has been made towards embracing diversity and redefining conventional standards of beauty.
