Lotus Lillies: Beate Passow (Edition Galerie) - Hardcover

Beate Passow visited the last generation of Chinese women with bound feet, the so-called "lotuslillies." The vivid photographs authentically document a social-historically grown custom shortly before its disappearance. Passow shows these now elderly women in all their dignity and pride. They are captured in their traditional home surroundings as well as in "today's" China: in front of a swimming pool, in a hotel lobby and, surprisingly, at a billiard table.
