EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in the history of China - a Chinese family at home, amidst the National Institution of Foot-Binding. Taken by an European photographer in the 19th century, this image offers a glimpse into a cultural practice that was prevalent during that time. Foot-binding was an excruciatingly painful tradition imposed on young girls as they reached adolescence. It involved tightly wrapping their feet with cloth to prevent natural growth, resulting in deformed and tiny feet known as "lotus feet". This practice was considered a symbol of beauty and social status but caused immense physical suffering for generations of Chinese women. The photograph showcases the complexity of this institution within the confines of a domestic setting. The family members are depicted together, perhaps highlighting the intergenerational nature of foot-binding. Their expressions reveal both acceptance and resignation towards this deeply ingrained custom. This striking image is part of a private collection and has been featured in publications such as "China Today" or "The Yellow Peril" which shed light on China's culture during that era. It serves as a reminder not only of China's historical past but also prompts us to reflect upon societal norms and practices that may cause harm to individuals in pursuit of conformity or perceived beauty standards.
