A Woman with an Elaborate Hairstyle, Wearing an Embroidered Jacket with Long Wide Sleeves. She Is Seated, Posed to the Left, Looking to the Front, against a Light-Toned Background. Thomson Was Fascinated by the Different Types of Female Coiffure in China. This Coiffure Worn by a Married Manchu Lady Was a Trademark Manchu Hairstyle in the Late Qing. It Required the Hair to Be Wrapped up in an Elaborate Triangular Pattern around a Wood, Ivory or Metal Fillet Fastened behind the Head. When Completed, a Coiffure Extended out at the Back as Well as to Both Sides. Flowers or Tassels Were Often Attached to the Coiffure to Make It More Impressive. This Is One of a Collection of Original Glass Negatives Made by John Thomson. The Negatives, Made between 1868 and 1872, Were Purchased from Thomson by Sir Henry Wellcome in 1921: 19682i
