A portrait of Chang Woo Gow and Kin Foo is a 1864 photographic by London Stereoscopic and Photographic Company, a Impressionism work, depicting orientalist painting, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a black-and-white photo of two people posing together. The taller person wears a long robe with floral patterns, a high hat, and holds a fan. The shorter person sits on a stool, dressed in simpler clothes. The background is plain, with a curved edge on the left side. The photo was taken by a company that made 3D images called *stereoscopic* photos. These were popular in the 1860s for people to view with special viewers.
