More than 100 photographs of everyday life, fashion, industrialisation, crime and punishment, foreigners in China and the Chinese abroad from the late 19th and early 20th century. The exhibition includes many images of contemporary events and personalities taken by Government Minister and later Ambassador Fu Bingchang (1895-1965). The photographs were brought together by researchers from Bristol University from private collections all over the UK, as part of their ongoing ‘Historical Photographs of China’ project.
