CHINA Group of 49 views (including Beijing and Summer Palace, Great Wall, Shanghai, Suzhou river etc.) or portraits/genre (12, of which six Europeans), albumen prints, fading, mounted on early album sheets, 2 signed and captioned in the image (by H.C. Cammidge), some captioned in French in pencil on mount, 17 large (one per page), 225 x 280mm.; 27 half-page (2 per page), 185 x 260mm.; 5 smaller on one sheet recto and verso, [1860s/70s] Footnotes: Includes unusual views of Beijing (including the Observatory and the Summer Palace) and Great Wall. Some of these, and those of the genre scenes (for instance wheel barrow transport) seem to be closely copying specific images taken by Thomas Child, and William Saunders. Whilst two of the views are by British photographer H.C. Cammidge, most are by unidentified photographers, perhaps (as captioned in French) by French photographers.
