I've been busy colourising photos this last week, inbetween writing up my revisions for the book about my Yellow River trip last year. As well as Joseph Rock's photos Ive also been dipping into archives of other photos from southwest China of that era. There are some great collections by people like Carter Holton, who lived in Gansu in the 1930s, and Harrison Forman, an American journalist who travelled along the Yellow River and tibet in the 1930s and 40s.
I might post some of their photos later, but for now here's a few from the Rock collection.
Animal collecting.
