The camera was witness to the capture of the forbidden city of Peking, the fabled treasure s of the imperial Summer Palace, the exotic beauty of Chinese art and archi tecture, the unusual ethnographic types inhabiting remote regions of the "r oof of the world," and finally, the everyday life of a culture destined for radical, irrevocable change.

US: Scalo, 2000. Hardcover. This book is the first comprehensive monograph on the Swiss photographer, f ilmmaker, and painter Jakob Tuggener (1904-1988).

At the time of his death, Tuggener left behind an overwhelming and practically untouched trove of work, consisting of thousands of prints, over twenty silent films, and hundreds of drawings, watercolors and oil pa intings. Based on this extremely rich and varied material, this book examin es the visual and, through Tuggener's own texts, mental world of one of Eur ope's most creative but hitherto undiscovered artists. This book fills a lo ng overdue gap in the history of photography, and is a significant addition to 20th century photography studies.
