In recent years Felice Beato (1832-1909) has come to be recognized as one of the major photographers of the nineteenth century, yet until now there has been no general survey of his singular life and work. Born in Venice, Italy, Beato came of age in the Ottoman capital of Constantinople. As a young apprentice in 1856, he photographed the sites of the Crimean War, thereby launching a long and remarkably adventurous career. Over the next half century he would follow in the wake of the British Empire: Egypt, Palestine, and Syria; India, where he photographed the aftermath of the Indian Mutiny; and China, where he chronicled the Second Opium War. He spent some thirty years in Japan and Burma, where he was among the first commercial photographers at the time that these countries were starting to open to the West. This abundantly illustrated book accompanies an exhibition-the first devoted to Beato's entire oeuvre-on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum from December 7, 2010, to April 3, 2011.

The text includes as main chapters:

There is a selection of his photographs, including panoramas and hand-coloured Japanese studies, along with captivating period ephemera, lithographs based on his work, and humorous caricatures of the artist."

Japanese geisha and courtesans intrigue and fascinate Westerners. During the mid-nineteenth century, Japan opened its doors to the world and became an essential destination for travellers. Tourists desired images of landscapes and traditional Japanese culture, which Japanese photographers provided. They created souvenir albums consisting of hand-coloured photographs individually chosen by the tourist. Many are so beautifully painted that they challenge modern sensibilities familiar with colour photography. The photographic conventions were inspired by the aesthetics of the noted coloured woodblock print medium of ukiyo-e and the privately published surimono. These works depicted the "floating world"-courtesans, geisha, and entertainments-which also were intriguing subject matter for tourists.

A unique assemblage of unusual hand-tinted photographs of early Japan, selected from a collection assembled by Russian Botanist Alexander Vasilyevich Grigoryev, whose travels took him to Japan in 1879. Never before published as a collection, they were taken for the most part in the 1870s and preserved in the archives of the Russian Geographical Society in St. Petersburg. Many are unique and outstanding examples of early photography in Japan. As opposed to artist's sketchbooks or popular prints of the day, these 130 colour photographs convey in a uniquely realistic way a vision of life in Japan in the last half of the 19th century.
