EDITORS COMMENTS
A glimpse into the bustling world of a Chinese barber in Bhamo, Burma, captured in this vintage print from 1908. The artist behind this intriguing image is Stereo Travel Co, known for their stereoscopic cards that brought distant lands to life through three-dimensional photography. Located in northern Burma, Bhamo was a vibrant trading hub situated just 65 miles away from the Chinese province of Yunnan. This proximity to China made it an important destination for merchants and travelers alike. In this scene, we see a group portrait of men gathered inside the barbershop. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as customers await their turn on the barber's chair. The Chinese barber himself exudes confidence and skill as he expertly wields his razor, providing clean shaves to his seated clients. The furniture and decor reflect the time period - early 20th century - with its monochrome aesthetic adding a touch of nostalgia. Amidst the smoke-filled air, one man can be seen enjoying a pipe while others stand patiently or engage in conversation. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers us a window into an occupation that played an essential role in grooming and maintaining appearances during that era. It serves as a testament to both cultural exchange and shared traditions between China and Burma.
