Imperial China  Photographs: 1850-1912  by Clark Worswick and Jonathan Spence

From the dust flap:

"The Orient has always fascinated the West. Part of China's mysterious allure 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 provided us with an historic legacy of the look and texture of an age-old civilization.

"In these masterpieces of photography, we see the landscape, people, and 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 treasures of the imperial Summer Palace, the exotic beauty of Chinese art and architecture, the unusual ethnographic types inhabiting remote regions at the "roof of the world," and finally, the everyday life of a culture destined for radical, irrevocable change."

The book includes images from well-known photographers such as Thomson, Miller, Beato, Wilson and Mennie. But it also emphasizes the significant contribution of lesser known photogrpahers to our understanding of what China was like in the final decades of the Dragon Throne.

A small sample of photos from the book is shown below.
