EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Tea House Serving Girl," is a stunning portrait taken by the renowned Italian-British photographer Felice or Felix Beato (1832-1899) during the 1860s in Japan. Beato, known for his extensive work in India, Japan, and China, captured this image during the late Tokugawa or early Meiji period. The young woman in the photograph is dressed in traditional Japanese attire, wearing a beautiful kimono adorned with intricate patterns and an obi belt, accessorized with a traditional hairdo and elaborate makeup. The tea house setting adds to the serene and elegant atmosphere of the image. The girl's expression is calm and composed, reflecting the grace and poise expected of a tea house servant during this era. The photograph was likely taken using the wet collodion or albumen process, popular techniques during the 19th century for producing high-quality, detailed images. This vintage plate, with its rich history and cultural significance, provides a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life and customs of Japan during the late 1800s.
