Massot, Gilles2018Massot, G 2018, 'Placing Jules Itier’s Body of Work in Perspective', International Journal on Stereo & Immersive Media, vol. 2, no. 2, pp. 68-85.2184-1241http://hdl.handle.net/10437/9792The photographic work done by Jules Itier around the China Sea in 1844-45 while travelling with the Lagrené Mission was thought to be, up until recently, some of the earliest photographs of several Asian countries. A new round of research has established that they are indeed the earliest extant photographs of Asia, while proposing new readings of a few outstanding daguerreotypes such as the DaNang fort and the 360º panorama of Canton made-up of 14 plates. This paper looks at the longer term and theoretical implications of what we can now call a ground-breaking body of work. application/pdfengopenAccessAUDIOVISUALFOTOGRAFIADAGUERREOTIPIAPHOTOGRAPHYAUDIOVISUALDAGUERREOTYPEarticle
