Map, black and white illustrations, xxiii + 191pp, index, bibliography, notes, appendices, light bumping extremities, otherwise very good hardback copy. 26 x 18cm. "In 1860, combined Western European armies brought ruin to the treasured Summer Palace of the Qing emperors near Beijing. However, other Westerners contributed to the garden's remembrance through their photographs pf the only architecture left standing after the fire: the European Palaces, built by Jesuits in the 1750s for the great Qianlong emperor. The handful of photographers who documented these ruins between 1860 and 1925 came from many different countries. Some were professionals, the majority were not; yet all contributed to the memories of a world that has come to symbolize the losses China suffered through foreign ambition. Regine Thiriez studies those photographers who provided such rare views of the European palaces, revealing how the lives of these men in China, the interaction that took place among them, and the context of foreign presence and photography in Beijing further illuminated their work."

Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1stedn; lg4to Hardcover blue cloth, dustjacket, as new condition; clean and crisp; no internal marks. VG/vgdj: 224pp, 250 sepia tone illustrations. bw fullpg illus; The flourishing of photography as a medium in the mid-19th century coincided with a rise in curiosity about China on the part of the Western world. As the number of foreigners living and traveling in China increased, early photographs of China were taken by and for an international audience. Among the Celestials assembles 250 fascinating images of China in the second half of the 19th century and first half of the 20th, captured by the Western camera lens. The photographs portray the gritty side of the country as well as stunning views of palaces, temples, harbors, and gardens. This juxtaposition of the sordid and the serene provides a multidimensional picture of China?s physical and social landscape before Mao Zedong?s ascent to power changed the country forever. The photographs, many published here for the first time, are both beautiful and moving, and together offer a new understanding of a social and cultural history associated with a time of significant historical change.…
