EDITORS COMMENTS
An Afternoon Call, c. 1880: A Glimpse into Victorian Etiquette and Japanese Tradition". This print transports us back to the late 19th century, offering a fascinating glimpse into the world of Victorian etiquette and Japanese tradition. Captured by an anonymous Japanese photographer, this hand-coloured albumen print on card showcases an intimate scene set within a traditional home. Intriguingly, we find ourselves in the midst of a ceremonial afternoon tea gathering. The interior is adorned with exquisite details - from delicate paper screens to ornate decorations - creating an atmosphere of tranquility and elegance. Women dressed in traditional attire are seen preparing for the arrival of guests, their servants kneeling respectfully nearby. The meticulous attention to detail is evident as each participant follows strict protocols of greeting and bowing, emphasizing respect and hierarchy. A geisha gracefully pours tea from a beautifully decorated teapot onto a tray filled with dainty cups, symbolizing hospitality at its finest. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to cultural exchange between East and West during this period. It reminds us that art has no boundaries when it comes to documenting rituals and traditions across different societies. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from The Stapleton Collection's private collection, we are transported back in time; witnessing both the beauty of Victorian customs merging harmoniously with age-old Japanese traditions.
