EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Karl Joseph Brodtmann, taken from Heinrich Rudolf Schinz's Illustrated Natural History of Men and Animals in 1836, showcases the distinct hairstyles of Japanese and Chinese men during the 19th century. The print features busts of Japanese men with chonmage topknot hairstyles, a traditional style characterized by a shaved head with a single long lock of hair tied into a knot on top. In contrast, the Chinese men depicted in the lithograph sport beards, one even donning a pigtail. The intricate details captured in this black-and-white engraving highlight not only the artistic skill of Brodtmann but also provide valuable insights into different cultural practices and traditions. The carefully sculpted busts serve as portraits that represent these individuals' respective nations or tribes. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to an era when fashion choices were deeply intertwined with identity and heritage. The kimono worn by the Japanese figures adds another layer to their portrayal as it symbolizes their national attire. Brodtmann's lithograph serves as an invaluable piece of ethnographic art that allows us to appreciate and understand historical grooming customs across cultures. It is through such works that we can explore our shared human history while celebrating our diverse expressions of beauty and individuality.
