Early Japanese Images by Terry Bennett (PDF)

Description

This fascinating Japanese photography book features over 140 images taken between 1853 and 1905 by the most important local and foreign photographers then working in Japan.Almost one-fourth of the images are hand colored, superb examples of a rich art form long since vanished. The Japan of this book too has disappeared, but author and compiler Terry Bennett has put together a unique portrait of the country at perhaps its most decisive turning point, a nation about to abandon its traditional ways and enter the modern age.Important features of Early Japanese Images include the following: A historical overview of the years 1853-1912 The story of early Western photographers in Japan The story of early Japanese photographers Over 100 images reproduced in original sepia tones Over 40 images reproduced as originally handcolored An invaluable index that identifies the photographers

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Sorry to be the bearer of a bad review but the images weren’t all that interesting.Part of the problem might be that the images were so small that they took up only a very small part of each page. I’m one of those “fill the page” kind of guys. It’s bad enough having to use a magnifying glass to read text but you shouldn’t need one for photos.

⭐Not found.
