Japanese Exchanges in Art 1850s-1930s - With Britain, Continental Europe and the USA is the revised edition of a text completed in 1989 and often reproduced in mimeograph form for relevant academics and libraries. The intention here has been to publish the updated version together with some extensive new materials.
It is a basic reference work not only for those working on exchanges between Japanese and European - chiefly British - art in the 19th and early 20th centuries but for all those interested in the modern history of Japan. Many historians of modern photography will also find it indispensable. It includes the most complete and extensive materials in any language on Charles Wirgman, Felice Beato, and Raimund von Stillfried und Ratenitz, as well as extensive biographical entries on European artistic visitors to Japan and Japanese artists in contact with European art in the 19th century.
