EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating lithograph, titled "China Girl, Sycee Head Dress" transports us back to the year 1855. The artwork, created by Eliphalet Brown Jr. after a painting by Eliphalet Brown Sr. , showcases the beauty and intricacy of traditional Chinese dress. The young girl depicted in the portrait wears an elaborate headpiece adorned with delicate jewels and feathers. Her profile is highlighted against a richly colored background, drawing our attention to her youthful features and stunning coiffure. This exquisite headdress symbolizes both cultural heritage and social status within Chinese society. The lithograph originates from Commodore M. C. Perry's Narrative of the Expedition of an American Squadron to the China Seas and Japan, documenting his expedition between 1852-1854. It offers a glimpse into a time when Western explorers were fascinated by Eastern cultures. Displayed at the Free Library of Philadelphia's Print and Picture Collection - Jackson Collection of American Lithographs, this print captures not only the artistic skill of its creators but also serves as a historical artifact that sheds light on cross-cultural encounters during this period. Whether you are captivated by fashion history or intrigued by intercultural exchange, this lithograph invites you to appreciate the beauty found in diversity while reflecting on our shared human experience across time and place.
