EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Haruko, the Empress Dowager Shoken of Japan, taken around 1893. The elegant portrait captures her regal presence and timeless beauty. As the wife of Emperor Meiji, Haruko played a significant role in Japanese history during the late 19th century. Dressed in a stunning Victorian gown adorned with intricate details, she exudes grace and sophistication. Her eyes gaze away from the camera, adding an air of mystery to her already enigmatic persona. The monochrome palette emphasizes her imperious nature while highlighting every delicate feature on her face. This remarkable image was part of the prestigious Felix Potin collection from France. It is a testament to the cross-cultural influence between Japan and Europe at that time. Haruko's attire reflects both traditional Japanese elements and Western fashion trends prevalent during this period. As we admire this exquisite photograph, we are transported back to a bygone era when royalty reigned supreme. It serves as a visual reminder of the power and elegance associated with empresses like Haruko who left an indelible mark on their country's history.
