Our Spring-Summer 2017 exhibition presents a rare collection of 250 original, mostly amateur, probably never published or seen, photographs taken in China in 1906.
Durant le second semestre de 1906, le Lieutenant Bernard Loup en compagnie de son épouse effectue un séjour en Chine du Nord, plus particulièrement autour de Tien-Tsin et de Pékin.
Bernard Loup est suffisamment curieux pour photographier des éléments de la vie quotidienne, ainsi que des principaux évènements qu'il va vivre durant son séjour.
