Description

Entitled: Jeunes Filles Chinoises (Young Chinese Girls), China [c1901] R Parison [RESTORED] I spotted out small defects, adjusted contrast, tone, and did some edge repair and corner reconstruction. I found this fantastic image on the site of Flickr user, P.Parison, and it is reposted here with his kind permission:

I don't speak French and Babelfish will only get you but so far. At any rate, it seems that one of his forebears was a soldier posted to China in the days of the foreign concessions and around the time immediately following the Boxer period. He has four high resolution scanned albums with very rare images that cannot be seen anywhere else. I would suggest that anyone who cares about old China photographs take the time to see his collection as (and I kid you not) his albums are of museum or auction house quality.

The above picture was from Parison's China album #4, with several others on the adjoining pages likely depicting brothels or activities thereof. I suspect that the girls above were prostitutes (one obviously quite young), several of which have bound feet.
