Terry Bennett, History of Photography in China, 1842-1860, London: Bernard Quaritch, 2013, 242 p.  (1st edition : 2009).(...)  Early chapters introduce the historical milieu from which the earliest Chinese photographers emerged and illuminate the beginnings of photography in China and contemporary Chinese reactions to its introduction. Early Chinese commercial photography – both portrait and landscape – are also discussed with reference to similar genres in a more international context. Individual chapters are devoted to Chinese photographers in Peking, Hong Kong, Canton, Shanghai, Foochow, Amoy, Hankow, Tientsin and other ports, Macau and Formosa. These are followed by a series of appendices: writings on photography in China by John Thomson and Isaac Taylor Headland and an invaluable guide to the identiﬁcation of photographs from the Afong Studio. It concludes with an extensive bibliography, general and regional chronologies, and a biographical index.ReviewsReviewed by Oliver Moore dans Trans Asia Photography review Volume 1, Issue 1, Fall 2010.Academic interest in the history of photography was noticeably overdue by 1900.
