Fang Suya's trip to Yunnan, China

This Frenchman is auguste francois (Chinese name Fang Suya).

It was once suspected that Fang Suya only wore a costume, but it was indeed the imperial robe of Emperor Annan (now in Vietnam) (now on display in the Paris Museum of Anthropology), and its style was very close to that of China (from the modeling point of view, it was the same as that of ministers in Ming Daizong). This is not a good idea from the point of view of ordinary photos, because although Fang Suya always thinks that her beard can "add majesty", what this photo adds is comedy. In his way, it may be "If you appear in the circus, you will get crazy applause". 1899 65438+February 15, Fang suya was appointed honorary consul general in Yunnan province (now Kunming) and representative of French railway commission in Yunnan. He likes photography, travel and investigation. He has been to Anshun and Guiyang, Guizhou, and stepped on the steep ancient tea-horse road. From Kunming to Chuxiong, from Yuanmou along the Jinsha River, into Liangshan, Liangshan, Luding Bridge to Kangding, and then to the junction of Sichuan and Tibet. He photographed the local Yi and Tibetan people, and some people took horses and carried tea and caravan, and wrote many diaries. When traveling, he prepared 12 baskets of transport glass negatives, and wrapped them with oil paper and cow blood to prevent them from getting wet. When traveling, he always carries geographical tools with him, such as sextant, compass, barometer and compass. When he encountered a bumpy road, he carefully made written records and drew a road map on paper. He believes that drawing, terrain drawing and photographing do not interfere with each other, but complement each other. Fang Suya likes the streets of China and thinks that it is the stage for people in China to live. Officials wearing clean clothes and umbrellas, all kinds of businessmen, small craftsmen, dirty beggars and so on. They all appear here, and sometimes there are trials, executions in public places, reviewing troops and recruiting militia. These, Fang Suya have been classified and photographed.
