EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the early 1910s, taken in a Chinese barbershop, the traditional art of shaving takes on a new meaning. The barber, with a focused expression, expertly wields his straight razor as he trims the closely cropped hair of a patient customer. The barber shop, filled with an air of quiet efficiency, is adorned with an intriguing array of tools and accessories, including a large, ornate mirror, a row of razors, and a collection of brushes and combs. The scene is reminiscent of the iconic Chinese queue hairstyle, which was popular during this period. Men would shave their heads, leaving only a long braid or "queue" of hair hanging down the back of their necks. This distinctive hairstyle was a symbol of submission to the Qing Dynasty and was mandatory for Manchu men, as well as for some Han Chinese men in certain regions and social classes. The photograph also reveals the intimate and personal nature of the barber-client relationship. The barber, with his skilled hands and meticulous attention to detail, ensures that each customer leaves the shop with a clean-shaven head and a sense of rejuvenation. The atmosphere is one of trust and mutual respect, as the barber takes care of his client's most personal grooming needs. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing a unique aspect of Chinese culture and tradition. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of the barber shop as a place of community, comfort, and personal care.
