EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Two Japanese Men in Traditional Clothes," is a stunning example of the work of Felice or Felix Beato (1832-1899), an Italian-British photographer who made significant contributions to the documentation of Asia during the 19th century. Beato's career spanned the 1860s and 1870s, a time when European powers were expanding their empires in Asia, and Beato's images offer a unique perspective on the people and cultures of the region. The photograph, taken in the Meiji era of Japan, features two Japanese men dressed in traditional clothing. The man on the left wears a robe with a wide lapel and a sash, while the man on the right wears a long, flowing robe with intricate patterns. Both men are posed against a plain background, allowing their traditional attire to take center stage. Beato used the wet collodion process to capture this image, a technique that required photographing the plate while it was still wet, making each print a unique and one-of-a-kind work of art. The albumen print process was also used for this image, which involved coating the photographic paper with a solution of albumen and salt, and then sensitizing it with silver iodide. This photograph is a testament to Beato's skill as a photographer and his ability to capture the essence of the Asian cultures he documented. It is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs, offering a glimpse into a bygone era and a reminder of the rich cultural history of Asia during the 19th century.
