EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the Qing Dynasty with this print of an itinerant Chinese barber. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, as the barber rings finger bells to attract customers while carrying his tools on a bamboo yoke.
The attention to detail in this handcoloured copperplate engraving is truly remarkable, showcasing the razor, scissors, strop, and other essentials that were used by barbers during this period. The barber's traditional attire and stoic expression add to the authenticity of the scene.
One can almost hear the faint jingle of the finger bells as they echo through bustling streets filled with curious onlookers. The simplicity yet efficiency of using such a method to find customers speaks volumes about the resourcefulness and dedication of these skilled craftsmen.
As you gaze upon this historical snapshot, you can't help but feel a sense of admiration for the craftsmanship and artistry that went into not only providing grooming services but also creating a livelihood in challenging circumstances. This print serves as a reminder of China's rich cultural heritage and traditions that have stood the test of time.
