In 1931, Ellen Thorbecke (1902-1973), born Ellen Kolban, travelled to China from Berlin to join her partner, the envoy Willem Thorbecke. As a journalist she purchased her first camera before departing for Beijing, and from then on she spent much of her time photographing daily life. The resulting photobooks including 'Peking Studies' (1934) and 'Peoples in China' (1935) give a rare impression of how people spent their lives in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Paris and the Middle East of her day. - New copy
