About this book

China and Its People in Early Photographs: An Unabridged Reprint of the Classic 1873/4 Work by Thomson, John. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780486243931.

From Foreword - Unabridged reprint of 1873-1874 book. John Thomson photographed China from 1862 to 1872 traveling with the specific goal of making a photographic record of the Orient. Not allowing the complexities and wonders of Asia to awe or distract him, he honed his eye and exerted a harsh self-discipline. The author was always able to sublimate his personality and to allow the essence of his subject to register clearly. (Description by http-mart, Roy Schoenbeck)
