EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in Chinese history, featuring a group of women with their feet bound in the traditional practice known as 'foot binding.' The image, estimated to date from around 1890, offers a glimpse into the lives of these women, whose feet had been bound from a young age to achieve the desired small, delicate size. Foot binding was a cultural tradition that began in China over a thousand years ago and continued until the early 20th century. It was believed that a small foot was a sign of beauty and elegance, and women who could not afford to have their feet bound professionally would often bind their own feet or have their daughters' feet bound at home. Despite the painful process, which involved breaking and binding the feet to prevent them from growing, the practice was deeply ingrained in Chinese society. Women with bound feet were considered desirable marriage prospects, and those who could not afford to have their feet bound often faced social ostracism. The women in this photograph are shown sitting together, their bound feet tucked under them in the classic position. Their expressions are calm and resigned, suggesting that they have accepted the pain and discomfort as a necessary part of their lives. The clothing they wear is simple and traditional, with long, flowing robes and intricate headpieces. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a time when women's bodies were subjected to painful and restrictive practices in the name of beauty and social acceptance. It also serves as a testament to the resilience and strength of the women who endured this practice, and the courage of those who fought against it.
