Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. 144 pages : illustrations, colour maps ; 30 x 25 cm. Published in conjunction with an exhibition of the same name co-organized by the Asia Society Galleries, New York, and the Hong Kong Arts Centre. 'Picturing Hong Kong brings together an extraordinary collection of 61 photographs of this unique city. These images shed new light on Hong Kong's hybrid culture, fully exploring for the first time Britain's use of photography in promoting its self-image as a civilizing force in Asia. Three essays set the stage for these photographs. The first, A Brief History of Hong Kong to 1910 by Joanna Waley-Cohen, surveys the colony's formative years and documents the political and cultural tensions created by attempts to straddle Eastern and Western traditions. Another essay by Roberta Wue, Picturing Hong Kong: Photography through Practice and Function, looks at the politics of representation as they are played out in images made for foreign viewers and those made for a local Chinese audience. In Edwin K. Lai's The Beginnings of Hong Kong Photography, the origins of commercial photography are reconstructed from newspaper advertisements, diary entries, and other contemporary documents.'.
