EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, captured by the renowned Italian-British photographer Felice or Felix Beato (1832-1899), offers a glimpse into the rich cultural landscape of 1860s Japan. The image features two young women and a young man, elegantly dressed in traditional Japanese attire. The women wear intricately designed kimonos, adorned with vibrant patterns and complemented by their ornate obis. Their long, flowing hair is styled in elaborate updos, held in place with decorative accessories. The young man, dressed in a formal kimono and hakama, completes the ensemble with a samurai sword at his side. Beato, known for his expertise in the wet collodion process, captured this portrait during his extensive travels through Asia in the late 19th century. His work, which includes some of the earliest known photographs of Japan, showcases the country's unique beauty and the elegance of its people during the Meiji and Tokugawa eras. This portrait, with its timeless composition and exquisite detail, offers a window into the past, transporting us back to a bygone era of imperial Japan. The women's serene expressions and the young man's confident demeanor convey a sense of grace and poise, making this an essential addition to any collection of Asian or vintage photography.
