A picture of a man eating around 1901

I brought it because I’m interested in the quote on why this picture looks so modern

At the time, Westerners thought that taking pictures was similar to drawing portraits

If you take a picture, you have a very serious posture expression

But at this time, Chinese people didn’t know about that culture

Just do the pose that you want to do

So, I don’t know if it’s an old picture or a picture

The photo was taken during an expedition sponsored by a wealthy man named Jacob Schiff to collect data from the American Museum of Natural History
