Description
Photograph of a Chinese barber shaving a customer, China, ca.1900. The barber is pictured standing to the right, holding his customer by the joint of the shoulder and neck. The customer sits on a small bench, while to the right, a stand that holds a metal basin and other accoutrements can be seen and appears to be portable. The corner of the building is visible in the lefthand foreground, along with the handle of a shovel. The background consists of a cleared lot. Tall buildings can be seen beyond the lot. An earlier record reads "The Chinese barber sets up his shop at any place he find[s] a customer".
