First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: As New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Condition of Catalogue: As New except prev owner has name written on page one and two. This is a catalogue of an exhibition of Thomson's photos prepared by the British Council for display in China and the Far East in 1991. Some of the prints had been previously published in the 19th century, while others appeared in this exhibition for the first time. None had previously been displayed in China. Thomson's four-volume Illustrations of China and its People, from 1873-4 had been printed by the collotype process, while his Through China with a Camera (1898) had used the cheaper half-tone process. The images in this exhibition and in the catalog are of considerably higher quality, printed from copy negatives of the original glass-plate negatives. The images have not been cropped or doctored, so all original scratches, etc. are present. 68pp.

He was one of the first photographers to travel to the Far East, documenting the people, landscapes and artefacts of eastern cultures. Thomson traveled extensively throughout China, from the southern trading ports of Hong Kong and Canton to the cities of Peking and Shanghai, to the Great Wall in the north, and deep into central China. From 1870 to 1871 he visited the Fukien region, travelling up the Min River by boat with the American Protestant missionary Reverend Justus Doolittle, and then visited Amoy and Swatow. He went on to visit the island of Formosa (modern-day Taiwan) with the missionary Dr. James Laidlaw Maxwell, landing first in Takao in early April 1871. The pair visited the capital, Taiwanfu (now Tainan), before travelling on to the aboriginal villages on the west plains of the island. After leaving Formosa, Thomson spent the next three months travelling 3,000 miles up the Yangtze River, reaching Hupeh and Szechuan. Thomson's travels in China were often perilous, as he visited remote, almost unpopulated regions far inland. Most of the people he encountered had never seen a Westerner or camera before. His expeditions were also especially challenging because he had to transport his bulky wooden camera, many large, fragile glass plates, and potentially explosive chemicals. He photographed in a wide variety of conditions and often had to improvise because chemicals were difficult to acquire. His subject matter varied enormously: from humble beggars and street people to Mandarins, Princes and senior government officials; from remote monasteries to Imperial Palaces; from simple rural villages to magnificent landscapes. Upon returning home, his work among the street people of London cemented his reputation, and is regarded as a classic instance of social documentary which laid the foundations for photojournalism. He went on to become a portrait photographer of High Society in Mayfair, gaining the Royal Warrant in 1881. (Wikipedia) Sprache: english.
