In 1978, photographer Inge Morath and her husband, playwright Arthur Miller, were invited to travel to China. They returned again in 1979 and 1983, fuelled by Morath's knowledge of Chinese language, culture, and history.

早期明胶银盐照片,双重重量半哑光纸,40.3 x 50.3 厘米,装裱在收藏级纸板上,罕见的大幅展览照片,状况非常好。摄影师在背面用铅笔和墨水签名,手写负片编号 "78-12" 及标题。 文献 Arthur Miller / Inge Morath, 《Chinese Encounters》,纽约,1979年; Kurt Kaindl (编), 《Inge Morath.
