Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 1989 Reprint. 200 Pages Indexed. A reprint originally published in 1986 by Thames and Hudson Inc. Covers show very light, barely noticeable wear to edges and corners. Small, light, remainder mark on bottom page edges. No other defects noted to this otherwise bright book with flawless interior text and illustration pages. There are 161 duotone plates, including Thomson's famous series on London street life. One of the great figures of nineteenth-century photography, John Thomson stands out for the unusual and exotic nature of his subject matter. Born in Edinburgh in 1837, Thomson took up photography as a profession in his early twenties. For ten years, from 1862, he traveled and explored the Far East, visiting Penang and the Malay peninsula, Siam, Cambodia, Vietnam, Formosa, and China-recording with his camera the kings and flower-sellers, the great court ceremonies and scenes of daily life, the palaces, temples, and remote monasteries of an era now vanished. These photographs are a unique record of this lost society and its monuments and entitle Thomson to be regarded as the first great photo-journalist. Thomson's photographs are equally valued for their intrinsic qualities-the beauty of their imagery; their vivid sense of immediacy, and their unconventional approach to composition. This is the first monograph to be published on John Thomson, and the entire series of plates included is magnificently reproduced in duotone. Each of the important periods of Thomson's working life is fully represented, from his earliest portraits in Siam to his moving, and more famous, records of nineteenth-century London street life. John Thomson, a great figure of early photography and the auspicious beginnings of documentary photography.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Near fine. First Edition. Preface by Robert A. Sobieszek. With 173 illustrations, 161 duotone plates. New York: Thames and Hudson, 1986. First edition. In this first monograph on Thomson, the photographer emerges as a much fuller figure than was appreciated. Born in Edinburgh in 1837, he left for the Far East in 1862. For ten years he photographed the Orient, equally intrigued by beggars in Foochow, the kings of Siam and Cambodia, tradesmen in Peking, and the exotic look of Formosa. The importance of these images has been overshadowed by Thomson's collaboration, Street Life in London (1877). Now, this fine study reveals Thomson's genius as a landscapist and chronicler, an explorer of unphotographed regions, and one who set out to record a people. Inscribed by White on the half-title. Quarto. Original brown cloth binding, with gilt stamping. A fine copy in a nearly fine dust jacket with some light sun fading along the spine.…
