This black and white photograph by Alexandre, taken in 1894, captures a costumed performance outside a barber shop in Antwerp, Belgium. The image documents a staged event held for the 1894 World's Fair. The scene depicts a barber shaving a seated man while other figures in period costume observe. The image is a valuable historical document illustrating the visual culture of the time and offers insight into the staged performances common during World's Fairs.
