za33photo Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Thank you for the link , I always enjoy subjects of this kind. Thank goodness that the photographers did not have "photoshop" in those days , although we may probably never know what the original photo's really looked like , these published images have probably been "enhanced" and "improved" for the purposes of the news article. Nevertheless a most interesting article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_gallimore1 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Long shot, but if anyone involved at Heriot-Watt University (who are hosting the exhibition) Photographic Society is reading this, could they please send me a private message?

c_watson1 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Nice but Thomson's China work is widely known. His London street photography from the late 1870s is far more interesting IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_ante Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Note that in the picture of the Manchu and Chinese ladies, the Chinese woman’s bound foot. Manchu women did not bind their feet. During the revolution, Manchu women had to disguise themselves as men to escape with their lives, otherwise easily identified as Manchu women because of their normal feet.

During the revolution, Manchu women had to disguise themselves as men to escape with their lives, otherwise easily identified as Manchu women because of their normal feet. Anti-Manchu violence was sporadic and scattered. Manchus were easily spotted in central and south China by their Beijing accents, residence enclaves and dress, especially women who dropped Manchu clothing and hairstyles. Hakka women in the south didn't bind their feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Smith Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I like the rather haughty expressions on the the Manchu ministers' faces. Very interesting shots. Robin Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
