"The Last Ten Years of the Qing Dynasty: Live Records of Laribey" is a collection of photographs taken by the author Laribey when he was responsible for security work in the French Legation. The shooting locations were mainly in Beijing and surrounding areas. These photos record various characters, furniture, clothing, dramas, buildings, streets, Buddhist stone carvings, etc. In China during the late Qing Dynasty from 1900 to 1910. Through these rare and precious historical materials, we can see a China that really existed a hundred years ago. These photos are not only the face of China at the end of the 19th century, but also a profile of China that has changed little over a longer time span, even in some aspects for thousands of years.
