Chinese Pictures: Notes On Photographs Made In China (1900) is a book written by Mrs. J. F. Bishop, an American missionary who traveled extensively throughout China in the late 19th century. The book is a collection of observations and reflections on the people, culture, and landscapes of China, accompanied by photographs taken by Bishop herself. The book is divided into chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of Chinese life. Topics include the architecture of Chinese cities, the customs and traditions of Chinese people, and the natural beauty of the country's landscapes. Bishop's writing is descriptive and engaging, offering a unique perspective on a country that was largely unknown to Western audiences at the time.The photographs included in the book are black and white, and range from portraits of Chinese people to sweeping vistas of the countryside. They provide a visual representation of the places and people that Bishop encountered during her travels, and offer a glimpse into a world that has since changed dramatically.Overall, Chinese Pictures: Notes On Photographs Made In China (1900) is a fascinating historical document that provides insight into both the culture of China and the experiences of Western travelers in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
