EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the front view of a coiffure worn by a married Manchu matron, taken between 1867-1872. The image is part of an extensive study conducted by John Thomson, a Scottish photographer, on the intricate hairstyles of Chinese women during that era. The subject in this portrait exudes elegance and grace as she poses for the camera. Her face is delicately framed by her ornamental hairdo, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail that went into its creation. Every strand seems perfectly arranged, reflecting both cultural significance and personal style. The woman's half-length pose allows us to appreciate not only her elaborate coiffure but also her fashionable attire. She embodies the essence of traditional Chinese fashion with her beautifully embroidered clothing and exquisite earrings. Thomson's ethnographic approach adds depth to this photograph, providing valuable insights into the customs and traditions of Manchu culture at that time. It serves as a visual record documenting not just a hairstyle but also capturing glimpses of life from another era. This image offers viewers an opportunity to step back in time and admire the artistry involved in creating such intricate hairstyles among married Manchu women in China during the late 19th century.
