the Scottish explorer John Thomson who took his bulky camera equipment into China in the late 1860s, was traversing uncharted territory. Few Chinese had ever encountered either a Westerner or a camera and were suspicious of both: cameras stole the soul.
And yet Thomson was able to photograph a China unseen by the rest of the world before then, and one that even modern, well-traveled explorers cannot easily penetrate. For all that today’s digital cameras bring to the moment, Thomson’s soul-rattling machine captured a part of history that who might otherwise have been lost.
The Inmost Shrine is an excellent addition to your vintage history of China collection or home library.
