Loewentheil Collection

The Loewentheil Photography of China Collection consists of more than 15,000 photographs spanning the earliest days of paper photography in the 1850s through the 1930s, with more than one-half of the photographs dating to the late Qing Dynasty.

The website was developed to support the exhibition Vision and Reflection: Photographs of China in the 19th Century from the Loewentheil Collection that took place at Tsinghua University Art Museum, Beijing, China.

Manual translation of every element of the website including categories of the works, custom content types and custom fields, navigation menus, etc. was necessary. No machine translation was used. Formatting of image titles was specific to the active language for optimal presentation and readability.
