<p class="p1">CrossAsia at Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin launched an online photo exhibition “Travels in Southwest China, 1899-1917” which presents photographs from the Fritz and Hedwig Weiss Archive. The archive, containing photographs and documents, was donated by Tamara Wyss, granddaughter of Fritz and Hedwig Weiss, to Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin in spring 2016. Fritz Weiss was German consul in China and Hedwig Weiss-Sonnenburg was a travel writer and the author of children’s books. They lived in Southwest China during the years between the end of the Qing dynasty and China’s entry into the First World War. In the exhibition we present a selection of the photographs from the Weiss archive. The pictures show landscapes, people and their life in secluded mountainous areas, river valleys and minority areas, travelling by ship and on land, and they document the daily lives of Fritz and Hedwig in cities such as Chongqing and Chengdu.</p>
<p class="p1">We would like to invite you to follow Fritz and Hedwig Weiss on their travels through Southwest China during the early 20<span class="s1"><sup>th</sup></span> century. You will find the exhibition via the CrossAsia website under Resources > Thematic Portals. The exhibition is in German, English, and Chinese.</p>
