EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Putting on the Obi or Girdle, 1868" by Felice Beato takes us back to 19th century China, offering a glimpse into the intricate process of dressing in traditional costume. In this mesmerizing portrait, two women are depicted engaged in their occupation as maidservants. The image showcases their expertise and attention to detail as they assist a lady in adorning her obi or girdle. Beato's artistry comes alive through the application of color on the albumen print, enhancing the vibrancy of their clothing and highlighting the rich cultural heritage of China. The side view perspective allows us to appreciate every delicate fold and knot, revealing not only a profession but also an art form passed down through generations. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to a bygone era where clothing was more than just fabric; it represented tradition and identity. The women's profiles exude grace and dignity while carrying out their duties with utmost care. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art Washington, this photograph is a testament to Beato's talent for capturing moments that transcend time. It serves as a reminder of our collective history and invites us to reflect upon how culture shapes our understanding of beauty and craftsmanship.
