In the Mosque of the Damegan/The Eunuchs. Artist: Possibly by Luigi Pesce (Italian, 1818-1891). Dimensions: 16.3 x 23.2 cm. (6 7/16 x 9 1/8 in.). Date: 1850s.With unique authority, the camera offered nineteenth-century viewers an evocative glimpse of faraway sights and exotic peoples. Luigi Pesce, a Neapolitan who became commander in chief of the Persian infantry in 1848, made photographs depicting both ancient Persian architecture and a living courtly society facing imminent change. On a visit to Damghan, east of Tehran, Pesce met a party of government functionaries whose astrakhan hats were as striking as their beardlessness. Most of the group were eunuchs, sexless males who often attained administrative positions of some prominence in the Qajar dynasty (1779-1924). This rare early photograph of Persia comes from an album donated to the Metropolitan by the late Charles K. Wilkinson, the Museum's former curator of Ancient Near Eastern Art.

Peranakan Chinese and Baba-Nyonya are terms used for the descendants of late 15th and 16th-century Chinese immigrants to the Malay-Indonesian archipelago of Nusantara during the Colonial era. Members of this community in Malaysia identify themselves as 'Nyonya-Baba' or 'Baba-Nyonya'. Nyonya is the term for the females and Baba for males. It applies especially to the ethnic Chinese populations of the British Straits Settlements of Malaya and the Dutch-controlled island of Java and other locations, who adopted partially or in full Malay-Indonesian customs to become partially assimilated into the local communities. While the term Peranakan is most commonly used among the ethnic Chinese for those of Chinese descent also known as Straits Chinese, it may also be applied to the Baba-Yaya community in Phuket and other provinces of southern Thailand.

The delight of the child king, the humble and bewildered gratitude of the men and women grown old in hopeless confinement, are touchingly portrayed in this well-known picture of the French artist Lesur.
