Stephan Loewentheil Discusses the “Biggest photo archive of 19th c. China” with the “South China Morning Post”
Tara Loader Wilkinson of the South China Morning Post recently interviewed Stephan Loewentheil, where they discussed the past, present, and future of the Loewentheil China Photography Collection, which has grown to include 20,000 photographs taken between 1850 and 1920.
“Very little photography survived the 20th century in China.
