EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a Mobile Chinese Street Barber at work during the 1910s. The image showcases the barber skillfully shaving a customer on a makeshift seat, set up on the bustling streets of China. The barber's itinerant stall is adorned with various tools of the trade, including a razor, a basin, and a towel, all neatly arranged on a small table. The customer, dressed in traditional Chinese clothing, sits confidently in the seat, his hat hanging nearby. The barber, focused intently on his task, deftly guides the razor across the customer's face, ensuring a close and cropped shave. The atmosphere is lively and energetic, with the sounds of the bustling street and the chatter of passersby creating a vibrant backdrop. The traditional hairstyle of the time, with its close-cropped and neat appearance, is on full display in this photograph. The barber's expertise and attention to detail are evident, as he expertly shapes the customer's facial hair to perfection. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of Chinese street life during the early 20th century.
