上海档案馆展出城市老照片   2014-06-12

 

A COLLECTION of about 100 photographs of old Shanghai and other Chinese cities has gone on display at the Shanghai Municipal Archives.

The images, which were donated by Duke University in the United States, were taken by Sidney Gamble, an American photographer and sociologist, during his four visits to China between 1908 and 1932.

Many of the photos, including three taken at the funeral of Sun Yat-sen, the renowned statesman who led the revolution to end imperial rule in China, have never before been seen by the public.
