Inside a Chinese barber's shop. Two men with distinctive Manchu hairstyles receive treatment at a barber's shop. One sits with his long hair thrown forward whilst a barber shaves the back of his head: the other tilts his head to have his ears cleaned. Several false 'queues' (waist-long pigtails), hang on the wall behind them: an equivalent to modern-day hair extensions. China, circa 1905. China, People's Republic of, Eastern Asia, Asia.
