Reginald Johnson at the Forbidden City, 1924

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Picture of Reginald Johnston in the Forbidden City, Beijing, China.

The context of the photo is given by Isabel Ingram's diary entry for June 11, 1924:

Went in at 10:30 as usual. Surprised the Emperor playing the piano in the Chien Hsiao Kung. The Empress was combing her hair. I watched the process. The Emperor came in and started to tickle her and was cutting up the whole day. It was suggested that my hair be combed Manchu style again. The Emperor agreed at once and sent for a photographer, also said he would dress Johnston up, too. The Emperor went over for him and brought him back to the Empress's palace before we were ready. They all watched the process. It took quite awhile -- making new parts, etc. Liu combed it again. I wore a light green gown with a lavender chin shih, which the Empress gave me afterwards.
Date Taken on 11 June 1924

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.

Based on information provided by the uploader at [2] and at [3] (archived at [4] archive copy at the Wayback Machine), this photograph appears to have been published in the Republic of China soon after its 1924 date of creation, and without copyright notice.]]
