Peep Show: China Through the Eyes of a German Architect (1906-1909)
About This Novel
This book contains a total of 426 photos. The 288 photos were taken between 1906 and 1909 by Boschman and the Chinese photographers he hired (more than 40 photos), covering 12 provinces in China. Among them, 42 are now key cultural relics protection units of the government (some of which have been included in the World Cultural Heritage List or the World Natural Heritage List), more than 20 are contemporary reconstructions or have been overhauled, and at least 60 of them no longer exist. In 2006, Xu Yuan and his wife and their colleagues followed in the footsteps of the master, adhering to the principle of re-shooting at the original location and angle, traveling to 7 provinces, covering a distance of 20,000 miles, and initially obtained 138 photos. This was considered the preliminary result of the private project of "following Ernst Boschmann's footsteps for a century, re-walking that road, and re-taking old photos."
