EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Two Young Women with a Parasol Umbrella," is a beautiful example of the work of Felice or Felix Beato (1832-1899), an Italian-British photographer who made a significant impact on the photographic scene in Asia during the 1860s and 1870s. Taken in Japan during the Meiji Era (1868-1912), the image showcases two young women dressed in traditional Japanese attire, including kimonos, obis, and elaborate hairstyles. One woman holds a parasol umbrella, a common accessory used to protect against the sun and rain in Japan during this time. Beato, who was known for his expertise in the wet collodion process, captured the essence of Japan's imperial era with remarkable detail and precision. His use of the albumen print process, which involved coating a paper with a mixture of egg white and silver iodide, allowed for a rich, tonal range and exceptional clarity. The two young women in the photograph exude a sense of grace and elegance, their expressions conveying a sense of playfulness and youth. The intricate patterns and textures of their kimonos and obis are on full display, as are the delicate details of their hairstyles and accessories. The photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of Japanese women during the late 19th century, a time of significant cultural and social change. It also serves as a testament to Beato's skill as a photographer and his ability to capture the beauty and complexity of the world around him.
