China Women Bound Feet Manchu Hairstyle Servant Boy Clothing Vtg. Photo 19thC.
This quality reprint of a vintage photo shows this studio portrait from late 19th-century China features two women and a young male attendant. The women display elaborate Manchu-style hairstyles and clothing characteristic of the Qing Dynasty. The practice of foot binding, a status symbol for Han Chinese women for centuries, is suggested by the seated woman's footwear. This custom, though painful, was associated with beauty and social standing before it was banned in the early 20th century.
