Summary
| Description |
Entitled: Singing Girls, Hong Kong, China [c1901] BW. Kilburn [RESTORED] I repaired a few spots and scratches, added contrast, adjusted tone with a final sepia. I also added a shadow to better define the outline of the bound foot of the girl on the right. I found this beautiful image in the US Library of Congress, where it resides under Reproduction Number LC-USZ62-118904. Benjamin West Kilburn was an American photographer and stereoscopic view publisher primarily of US and Canadian landscape. However, his company also produced a significant amount of far international images, including the far east and China. Many of the images credited to his company were actually taken by "work for hire" free lance photographers. This has always been one of my favorite despite the posed nature of it. This picture was one of a set of several artificially propped shots that purportedly showed a slice of Chinese life during the turn of the 20th Century. |
