EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Pepohoan Women; Mode of Carrying Child; Costume of Baksa Women; Lakoli, c. 1868" offers a glimpse into the daily life of Chinese women in the late 19th century. Taken by renowned Scottish photographer John Thomson, this image is part of his album "Illustrations of China and Its People, Volume II" from 1873. The photograph showcases two Pepohoan women carrying their infants using traditional slings while dressed in distinctive Baksa costumes. The intricate details captured in this collotype print highlight the rich cultural heritage and unique fashion sense prevalent among local people during that era. Thomson's lens beautifully captures the essence of motherhood as these women gracefully navigate through a bustling street in Lakoli, Taiwan. Their expressions reflect both strength and tenderness as they skillfully balance their babies while going about their daily tasks. This vintage artwork not only provides a visual documentation of historical Chinese society but also serves as an important reminder of our shared human experiences across time and cultures. It invites viewers to appreciate the beauty found within everyday moments and celebrates the resilience and nurturing nature inherent to motherhood. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this photograph stands as a testament to Thomson's remarkable talent for capturing intimate glimpses into diverse communities around the world. Through his lens, he bridges geographical boundaries by immortalizing scenes that continue to resonate with audiences today.
