A journey along the Great Wall in the past and present, this landmark volume offers an extraordinary portrait of perhaps the worlds most famous structure. Carrying his camera and a file of vintage photographsthe earliest dating from 1871authorphotographer William Lindesay traveled across Northern China for three years, searching for settings where the Great Wall could be examined in the past and present, side by side. The result, The Great Wall Revisited, presents seventytwo of the most elucidating then andnow comparisons. This glossy dossier opens out as an extraordinary journey from the Jade Gate in northwest Chinas Gobi Desert to Old Dragons Head on the Yellow Sea.Far more than a romantic look at the Great Wall of yesteryear, this stunning, artfully crafted volume also contains concise histories of the sites that Lindesays images revisit. Colorful literary impressions composed by earlier visitors, juxtaposed with contemporary eyewitness accounts of change traced along the Wall, afford a sense of history unfolding and time inexorably creeping along the contours of this enduring monument to human ingenuity.
