EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the resilient gaze of a coolie laborer porter in 1860s Japan, as photographed by the renowned Italian-British photographer Felice or Felix Beato (1832-1899). Beato, known for his extensive work in India, Japan, and China during the 1860s and 1870s, captured this image using the albumen or collodion process, popular during the 19th century. The laborer, dressed in traditional clothing, exudes a sense of quiet determination and endurance, reflecting the harsh realities of life during the Tokugawa Shogunate and the Meiji Era. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of a coolie laborer, whose services were in high demand for transporting goods and people across Japan's vast terrain. Beato's mastery of the wet plate process is evident in the intricate details and textures of the laborer's clothing and facial features, making this a valuable historical document and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Asia during the 19th century.
