Adrenaline mounts every
time I find a treasure from nothing. After buy several stereo-views from
Japan , 3 of them where from early days in China. Looking in my books , the
surprise arrived...
The edition is from the
British editor Negretti & Zambra and the photographer was the Swiss - PIERRE JOSEPH ROSSIER - , considered the pioneer of the photography in Asia.
Some of these
stereograph belongs to the 1st set “ VIEWS IN CHINA” ( 50 photos) published by Negretti & Zambra,
in 1859.
