About This Item
Crown Pub, 1978. Paperback. Good. The Orient has always fascinated the West. Part of China's mysterious allur e has stemmed from the fact that it remained virtually invisible to all but a handful of Europeans until the mid-19th century. Fortunately, the advent of photography coincided with the opening of China to the West and provide d us with an historic legacy of the look and texture of an age-old civiliza tion. In these masterpieces of photography, we see the landscape, people, a nd events that shaped the world's last great hidden empire. The camera was witness to the capture of the forbidden city of Peking, the fabled treasure s of the imperial Summer Palace, the exotic beauty of Chinese art and archi tecture, the unusual ethnographic types inhabiting remote regions of the "r oof of the world," and finally, the everyday life of a culture destined for radical, irrevocable change.
