Photographer Pierre Joseph Rossier




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.
