The images are selected from James Henry Green's extensive photography of recruitment and slave-release campaigns in the northern parts of Burma. They explore his personal documentation of the processes of contact, change and exchange in the early part of the twentieth century, at the frontiers of religion, trade, the military, education, and identity. These photographs - ranging from spectacular landscapes to intimate portraits - served Green as documentation of his anthropological and military work, predominantly among the Kachin, Shan and Chin peoples; they also chronicle his personal journeys.'

Issued without a dust jacket. -- An insightful exploration into the visual culture of 19th-century Japan through the lens of early photography, this book examines the historical, cultural, and artistic significance of photographs taken during a transformative period in Japanese history. Odo delves into the context in which these images were produced, their influence on Western perceptions of Japan, and their role in documenting the country's rapid modernization. Richly illustrated and well-researched, this work is an essential resource for anyone interested in Japanese history, photography, and cultural studies. -- David Odo takes a fresh look at a large series of 104 Japanese photographs that were bought by an unknown western collector in the mid-1880s. They present an image of Japan that differs from the one most westerners preferred when buying photographs as mementos of their visit to this strange though fascinating country, going beyond the popular and somewhat clichéd hand-coloured depictions of geishas, sumo wrestlers, and Mount Fuji. In contrast, this collection, assembled in 1884-1885 and featuring works of unidentified photographers, contains numerous uncolored photographs depicting such subjects as architectural landmarks, daily life scenes, traditional crafts, people at work. These photographs provide a valuable glimpse into 19th-century Japan.…
