EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Ah Que, Chinese" captures the essence of 19th-century ethnographic portraiture. Taken by an American photographer whose name remains unknown, this print is part of a private collection that showcases the diverse range of global cultures. The image depicts Ah Que, a Chinese man dressed in traditional attire. The contrast between his dark hair and the light background emphasizes his distinct features and draws attention to his intricate clothing. This portrait serves as a study in racial comparison, highlighting the unique characteristics of different ethnic groups. The photograph was originally intended for Professor F. W. Putnam's book on Portrait Types of the Midway Plaisance. It offers viewers a glimpse into late 19th-century China through its detailed portrayal of Ah Que's dress and style. As an ethnographic piece, this photo provides valuable insight into the world at that time. It invites us to appreciate not only Ah Que's individuality but also the rich tapestry of cultural diversity found across continents. With its meticulous composition and careful attention to detail, this image stands as a testament to both the artistry behind early photography and our enduring fascination with exploring different types within our global community.
