EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia photo captures a fascinating moment in history, showcasing Alexandra Kitchen as A Chinaman on the 14th of July, 1873. The subject of the photograph is Alexandra Xie Kitchin, daughter of Rev. George William Kitchin, Dean of Winchester then Durham. Taken at Christ Church and now part of a private collection, this portrait offers a glimpse into Victorian fashion and cultural curiosity. Dressed in an elaborate Chinese costume, Alexandra exudes elegance and grace as she sits with poise. Her youthful face is framed by her intricate hairstyle adorned with delicate accessories. Holding a fan delicately in her hand, she embodies the epitome of femininity during that era. The photographer behind this image is none other than Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll - renowned for his literary works such as "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". This adds another layer to the significance and intrigue surrounding this photograph. Notably autographed by Alexandra herself, this photograph showcases her signature alongside boxes reminiscent of Chinese symbolism. It serves as a testament to both her identity and the fascination Victorians had with exotic cultures. Preserved through time within The Stapleton Collection, this print allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also provides valuable insights into historical customs and societal interests from over a century ago.
