EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by the renowned Italian-British photographer Felice or Felix Beato (1832-1899), depicts two young women from Japan in the pose of the Grecian Bend. Beato, known for his extensive work in India, Japan, and China during the 1860s and 1870s, captured this image using the wet collodion process, a popular technique during the 19th century. The women are elegantly dressed in traditional Japanese attire, with one wearing a beautiful kimono adorned with intricate patterns and the other in a simpler yet stylish outfit. Their long, flowing hair is arranged in a similar manner to the Grecian Bend, a pose inspired by ancient Greek sculptures. The women's obis, the wide sashes worn around their waists, are carefully tied and secured, adding to their refined appearance. This photograph provides a glimpse into the imperial era of Japan during the Tokugawa shogunate or Meiji period, a time of cultural exchange and transformation. The serene expressions on the women's faces and the delicate poses they assume convey a sense of grace and beauty that transcends time. This vintage plate, with its rich history and intriguing subject matter, is a testament to the artistry and cultural significance of Felice Beato's work.
