Features: This book focuses on the fruitful achievements obtained by the International Society for the Study of the Great Wall through the use of rephotography technology to examine the Great Wall. It conveys a major historical message while also describing the geographical conditions of the Great Wall in different places. The concept of "Rephotographing the Great Wall" means following in the footsteps of pioneers, adventurers, and travelers who explored the Great Wall, examining the places they once visited—not only to admire the locations through their photographs but also to discover and reveal their thoughts on the Great Wall by studying their writings, articles, and diaries. This book is a landmark work in the field of Great Wall conservation, telling the poignant story of the Great Wall's century-long transformation for the first time through rephotography of old photographs. The author uses rephotography technology to authentically and vividly recreate its past and present.
