Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About The Book: Old Chinatown: A Book of Pictures by Arnold Genthe is a photographic record of San Francisco's Chinatown before the 1906 earthquake. Capturing candid scenes between 1895 and 1906, Genthe's images reveal everyday life, street activity, and cultural traditions of a community often misrepresented or overlooked. His work is notable for its artistic composition and humanizing perspective.

He gained fame for his candid images of San Francisco's Chinatown before the 1906 earthquake and later for capturing society figures, artists, and dancers in New York. Genthe's work blended artistry with documentary value, often using natural light and informal settings. His photographs offer a vivid glimpse into American life and culture during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.About The Author: Will Irwin (18731948) was an American journalist, author, and war correspondent known for his investigative reporting and literary style.
