Starting in the late nineteenth century, China has been the subject of multiple bodies of photographic endeavor, but it was never before so clear how many, nor quite how significant a role Chinese photographers played in shaping the image of their own sociopolitical and cultural environment. The Chinese Photobook provides an essential overview of the image of Chine through a century and more, via a compendium of visions domestic and external, intuitive, creative, and ideological. As someone who has photographed China for several decades, I believe this collection makes a great contribution to the discussion about doing just that -photographing China."
