MACAO — The earliest remaining known photographs of China were taken by Jules Itier, a Frenchman who traveled to China in the 1840s as part of a diplomatic mission sent by King Louis-Philippe.
His work is a highlight of an exhibit called “A Journey through Light and Shadow — The Invention of Photography and the Earliest Photographs of Macao, China,” which will run until Aug. 23 at the Museum of Macau.
