EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, taken by the renowned Italian-British photographer Felice or Felix Beato (1832-1899), captures a young Japanese woman in the 1860s, elegantly carrying her baby. Beato, known for his extensive work in India, Japan, and China during the 19th century, skillfully captured this image using the collodion or wet plate process. The woman wears an intricately designed kimono, adorned with vibrant patterns and rich colors, which was a common attire for women during the Meiji era. Her obi, the sash that holds the kimono together, is also beautifully decorated, adding to the overall grandeur of the image. The woman's hair is styled in a traditional Japanese updo, with delicate hairpins and ornaments accentuating her elegant appearance. The young girl in her arms, dressed in a simple kimono, gazes up at her mother with curiosity and affection. The portrait provides a glimpse into the daily life of Japanese women during the late Tokugawa shogunate and early Meiji period, offering a valuable insight into the culture and fashion of the time. This photograph, with its timeless beauty and historical significance, is a testament to Beato's mastery of the art of photography during the 1800s.
