1858 Back Ground Snow Balling Umbrella
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in Japan during the late 19th century, depicts a scene of tranquility and joy amidst the wintery landscape. The image captures a group of Japanese women, dressed in traditional attire, huddled under a large umbrella as they enjoy a moment of respite from the snowfall. In the background, children are seen playfully throwing snowballs at each other, their laughter echoing through the crisp winter air. The photograph, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, is believed to have been taken in the year 1858. The century-old image offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of Japanese women during this period, providing valuable insights into their social customs and traditions. The use of an umbrella as a communal shelter is a common practice in Japan, especially during heavy snowfall, and this photograph beautifully illustrates the sense of community and camaraderie that such moments can foster. Despite the harsh winter conditions, the women in the photograph exude a sense of calm and contentment, their expressions reflecting the simple pleasures of life. The image is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of human connection, even in the most challenging of circumstances. The playful antics of the children in the background add an element of joy and lightness to the scene, creating a balanced and delightful composition. This photograph is not only a stunning work of art but also an important historical document, offering a window into a bygone era and a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the human spirit.
