EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the vibrant streets of Hong Kong in 1908, showcases an itinerant Chinese barber in the midst of providing his services to a client. The image transports us back in time to the early 1900s, offering a glimpse into the traditional Chinese barbering practices that once thrived on the streets of this bustling city. The barber, seated on a simple stool, is skillfully wielding a straight razor as he shaves the head of a seated customer. His deft hand movements and focused expression convey the mastery and expertise that comes with years of experience. Intriguingly, the barber also offers a range of other services, as evidenced by the back massage and eyelid scraping tools nearby. The scene is further enriched by the use of traditional Chinese techniques, such as the application of shampoo and the rubbing of the customer's back with large, wooden rubbing sticks. The barber's mobile setup, with its simple tools and portable stool, underscores the itinerant nature of his business, which likely allowed him to serve clients in various locations throughout the city. This photograph provides a fascinating window into the past, offering a unique perspective on the daily life and cultural practices of Hong Kong during the early 1900s. The combination of the barber's skill, the bustling street setting, and the traditional Chinese techniques employed make this image a captivating and evocative representation of the time and place.
