Pioneering photographer John Thomson (1837-1921) travels through Taiwan in the 19th century and reveals an island still unknown, marked by tribal conflicts. During the journey he documents his encounter with the Pepohoans and portrays landscapes, people and customs with an ethnographic eye that anticipates modern reportage.

For readers interested in 19th-century travel literature, the history of Taiwan and documentary photography.
