EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in the lives of a group of country children in Japan during the late 1880s. Dressed in traditional clothing, the children appear to be at play, their carefree expressions and lively postures conveying a sense of joy and innocence. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of rural Japan during the Meiji Era (1868-1912), a period of significant cultural and social change. The photograph was likely taken as part of a travel album or tour collection, reflecting the growing interest in Japan during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The image is an albumen print, a popular photographic process during this time, which involved coating a paper or glass plate with a thin layer of albumen, a protein derived from eggs, and then sensitizing it with silver salts. The resulting negative was then transferred to a paper print, creating a high-quality, detailed image. The photograph's composition and framing also reveal the influence of Victorian-era photography, with its emphasis on capturing candid moments and documenting the lives of people from different cultures. The image invites us to reflect on the rich history and traditions of Japan during this period, and to appreciate the beauty and complexity of a time and place far removed from our own.
