In recent years Felice Beato (1832–1909) has come to be recognized as one of the major photographers of the nineteenth century, yet until now there has been no general survey of his singular life and work. Born in Venice, Italy, Beato came of age in the Ottoman capital of Constantinople. As a young apprentice in 1856, he photographed the sites of the Crimean War, thereby launching a long and remarkably adventurous career. Over the next half century he would follow in the wake of the British Empire: Egypt, Palestine, and Syria; India, where he photographed the aftermath of the Indian Mutiny; and China, where he chronicled the Second Opium War. He spent some thirty years in Japan and Burma, where he was among the first commercial photographers at the time that these countries were starting to open to the West.

The text includes an engaging narrative of his life and entrepreneurial career and a thought-provoking essay on Beato and the photography of war. There is a generous selection of his photographs, including panoramas and hand-colored Japanese studies, along with captivating period ephemera, lithographs based on his work, and humorous caricatures of the artist.

近年来，费利斯·贝亚托（1832–1909）已被公认为19世纪的主要摄影师之一，但迄今为止，尚未有对其独特生平与作品的全面概述。贝亚托出生于意大利威尼斯，在奥斯曼帝国的首都君士坦丁堡长大成人。1856年，还是年轻学徒的他拍摄了克里米亚战争的战场，由此开启了漫长且极具冒险色彩的职业生涯。在接下来的半个世纪里，他追随着大英帝国的脚步，足迹遍布埃及、巴勒斯坦、叙利亚；在印度，他拍摄了印度民族大起义后的景象；在中国，他记录了第二次鸦片战争。他在日本和缅甸生活了约30年，在这些国家开始向西方开放之际，他是首批商业摄影师之一。

本书内容包括对他生平与创业生涯引人入胜的叙述，以及一篇关于贝亚托与战争摄影的发人深省的文章。书中还精选了他的大量摄影作品，包括全景照片和手工上色的日本题材作品，此外还有极具吸引力的同期珍闻、基于他作品创作的石版画，以及关于这位艺术家的幽默漫画。
