Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pictures and Visuality in Early Modern China is not simply a survey of sixteenth-century images, but rather, a thorough and thoughtful examination of visual culture in China's Ming Dynasty, one that considers images wherever they appeared—not only paintings, but also illustrated books, maps, ceramic bowls, lacquered boxes, painted fans, and even clothing and tomb pictures. Clunas's theory of visuality incorporates not only the image and the object upon which it is placed but also the culture which produced and purchased it. Economic changes in sixteenth-century China—the rapid expansion of trade routes and a growing class of consumers—are thus intricately bound up with the evolution of the image itself. Pictures and Visuality in Early Modern China will be a touchstone for students of Chinese history, art, and culture.

Bird, the intrepid traveler and writer, offers a unique perspective on the Middle Kingdom during the late 19th century. This captivating collection combines Bird's keen observations with evocative photographs, providing a nuanced glimpse into the landscapes, people, and culture of China. From the imperial grandeur of Beijing to the serene landscapes of the countryside, 'Chinese Pictures' is a vivid portrayal of a nation in transition. Join Bird as she delves into the heart of Chinese life, capturing moments frozen in time through the art of photography and storytelling. An immersive journey that transcends temporal boundaries, this work is a testament to Bird's unwavering curiosity and her ability to bridge cultures through the lens of her camera and the power of her pen."
