China Through the Lens of John Thomson: 1868-1872
China Through the Lens of John Thomson: 1868-1872, is published by River Books, 2010. 167pp. ISBN 978-616-7339-00-9
Prof Nick Pearce has contributed an essay to a new book on pioneering photographer John Thomson's (1837-1921) work in China between 1868 and 1872. Thomson made his name with the photographs he took during his extensive travels through China and many of them have become well-known images. With a dual English and Chinese text, the photographs used in the book are those produced from Thomson's original glass negatives held in the Wellcome Library in London. William Schupbach, of the Wellcome Library and Tong Bingxue and Zhou Xun also contribute essays.
The book accompanies an exhibition of the same name which will visit Hartlepool in late 2010 and the Burrell Collection in Glasgow in 2011, having already been exhibited at the Merseyside Maritime Museum in Liverpool and touring China last year.
