"SHEYING: Shades of China, 1850-1900" Exhibition
Throckmorton Fine Art
This event has ended.
The gallery is pleased to offer an exhibit of rare, nineteenth-century photography from China. Photography was first introduced to the Chinese by a wave of foreign—mostly European—photographers who settled on the Chinese coast in the early 1860s. They—and their first Chinese successors—have left a limited yet extraordinary visual record of China on the eve of the tumultuous twentieth-century.
