Seeing Luoyang: a Study of Old Films of Bianluo Railway Physician Spruitt
About This Novel
Adolf Spruit, a Belgian railway physician who worked on the Bianluo Railway, worked in Luoyang for about three years from 1906 to 1908. In addition to his job, Adolf used the camera in his hand to take more than a hundred three-dimensional photos. Through Adolf's lens, we can not only understand the family life and leisure, photography, antiquities collection and other activities of Westerners in China at that time; we can also "see" many scenes of the clothing, food, housing, transportation, beliefs, and customs of Luoyang residents more than a hundred years ago. Adolf's Luoyang photo album has the characteristics of high definition and relative completeness. It contains text and image information unmatched by other photo albums of the same era. It is a precious material for studying modern Luoyang.
