Features: This book is a collection of historical photographs in Chinese history. Historical photographs help us "see" the past, although they are merely scattered, fragmented, and instantaneous images, they are real, concrete, and vivid reflections. They contain rich historical content, providing material for people to explore and appreciate. This book includes over 200 old photographs taken from 1949, when the Frenchman Jules Itier and his wife took silver plate photographs in Macau, to 1919, covering a wide range of topics related to the human culture, geography, scenery, folklore, politics, and other aspects of old Chinese society. This book is also bilingual (Chinese-English), designed to accommodate readers both domestically and internationally for reference.
