EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "A Group of Young Women Out for a Walk," was captured by the renowned Italian-British photographer Felice or Felix Beato during the 1860s in Japan. Beato, born on January 29, 1832, was a pioneer in photography, working extensively in Asia, particularly in India, Japan, and China. The image showcases a charming scene of a group of young Japanese women, dressed in traditional attire, enjoying a leisurely stroll. The women are adorned in elegant kimonos, their obis tightly tied, and their hair styled in intricate updos. Some carry parasols to shield themselves from the sun, while others use umbrellas for added protection. The women are accompanied by a servant, who walks behind them, carrying a large fan. The group's attire and accessories suggest that this photograph was taken during the Meiji Era (1868-1912), a period of significant cultural and political change in Japan. Beato's mastery of the wet collodion process is evident in the fine details and textures captured in this photograph. The image has a vintage, otherworldly quality, transporting us back in time to a bygone era. The photograph is a testament to Beato's skill as a photographer and his ability to capture the essence of a culture and moment in history.
