A critical reconsideration of the history of photography that
explores how commerce and conflict fueled its practice in
nineteenth-century China Photography's development as a new form of
art and technology coincided with profound changes in the way China
engaged with the world in the nineteenth century. The medium
evolved in response to war, trade, travel, and a desire for
knowledge about an unfamiliar place. Power and Perspective provides
a rich account of the exchanges among photographers, artists,
patrons, and subjects in the treaty port cities that connected
China and the West. Drawing primarily from the Peabody Essex
Museum's historic and largely unpublished collection of
photographs, this generously illustrated volume examines the
confrontations and collaborations that shaped the adoption and
practice of photography in China. Offering an original reassessment
of the colonial legacy of the medium, Power and Perspective
addresses photography's representations of racial hierarchy and its
entanglement with histories of European imperialism in
nineteenth-century China. Distributed for the Peabody Essex Museum
