We are thrilled to present Sun and Silver: Early Photographs of China by Lai Afong and John Thomson, which brings together masterpieces by two giants of 19th-century photography of China—Lai Afong and John Thomson—who originated many significant developments in early Chinese photography. Among the photographs is Rapids at Nanping, River Min, which first captured the imagination of Lai Afong in 1869 and later by John Thomson in 1870.
