"Geisha With Broom" is a notable 19th-century photograph by Raimund, Baron Von Stillfried Und Rathenitz, an Austrian photographer known for his work in Japan. The photograph is a portrait of a geisha, a traditional Japanese female entertainer known for her skills in classical music, dance, and a variety of arts. In the image, the geisha is depicted holding a broom, an element that adds a sense of daily life and domesticity to the otherwise elegant and stylized representation of geisha culture.

Baron Raimund von Stillfried, also known as Baron Raimund von Stillfried-Rathenitz, was an important figure in early Japanese photography, having moved to Yokohama in the 1860s where he established a photographic studio. His work was instrumental in shaping Western perceptions of Japan during the Meiji era, a period when the country was opening up to foreign influence after centuries of isolation.

"Geisha With Broom" is exemplary of Stillfried's oeuvre, which often featured posed studio shots of Japanese people in traditional attire, engaging in culturally significant activities. These photographs served as a form of cultural documentation as well as exotic curiosities for Western audiences. The image of the geisha with a broom juxtaposes the grace and refinement traditionally associated with geisha with a mundane task, offering a nuanced view of Japanese culture and the role of women within it.

The photograph is also significant for its technical aspects, showcasing the hand-coloring technique that was commonly used at the time to add color to monochrome prints. This process involved the application of watercolors, dyes, or other pigments to a black-and-white photograph, which brought the image to life and made it more appealing to those who were accustomed to painted portraits.

As a historical artifact, "Geisha With Broom" provides insight into the artistic practices of the time, the Western fascination with Japanese culture, and the role of photography in the international exchange of cultural imagery. The work remains an important piece in the study of early photographic history and the representation of Japanese culture in art.
