John Thomson

    14. Juni 1837 – 29. September 1921

    John Thomson war ein wegweisender schottischer Fotograf, Geograf und Reisender, der als einer der Ersten in den Fernen Osten reiste. Seine Arbeit unter den Straßenmenschen Londons wurde zu einem klassischen Beispiel sozialer Dokumentarfotografie, die den Grundstein für den Fotojournalismus legte. Thomson, der die Menschen, Landschaften und Artefakte östlicher Kulturen dokumentierte, wurde später zu einem Porträtfotografen der High Society in Mayfair und erhielt 1881 das königliche Siegel.

      From Foreword - Unabridged reprint of 1873-1874 book. John Thomson photographed China from 1862 to 1872 traveling with the specific goal of making a photographic record of the Orient. Not allowing the complexities and wonders of Asia to awe or distract him, he honed his eye and exerted a harsh self-discipline. The author was always able to sublimate his personality and to allow the essence of his subject to register clearly. (Description by http-mart, Roy Schoenbeck)
