The medium evolved in response to war, trade, travel, and a desire for knowledge about an unfamiliar place. \u003ci\u003ePower and Perspective\u003c\/i\u003e provides a rich account of the exchanges among photographers, artists, patrons, and subjects in the treaty port cities that connected China and the West. Drawing primarily from the Peabody Essex Museum's historic and largely unpublished collection of photographs, this generously illustrated volume examines the confrontations and collaborations that shaped the adoption and practice of photography in China. Offering an original reassessment of the colonial legacy of the medium, \u003ci\u003ePower and Perspective\u003c\/i\u003e addresses photography's representations of racial hierarchy and its entanglement with histories of European imperialism in nineteenth-century China. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for the Peabody Essex Museum \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeabody Essex Museum, Salem, MA\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (September 24, 2022-April 2, 2023)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karina H.
