Paar in Chinese kleding met bedienden 1856 - 1861

"Paar in Chinese kleding met bedienden" is a stereoscopic photograph by James Elliott, a British photographer active in the mid-19th century. Created between 1856 and 1861, the image depicts a European couple dressed in Chinese clothing, possibly for a theatrical performance or a costume party. Two servants stand behind them, adding to the scene's theatrical quality. The use of a stereoscopic format allowed viewers to experience a three-dimensional effect, enhancing the illusion of depth and realism within the photograph. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the fascination with China and its culture prevalent in Victorian Europe.
