万里长城是全世界著名的建筑物,但是由于它绝大部分地处偏僻,人们对它的了解与它的盛名并不相称。 本书是长城保护领域里程碑式的作品,它首次以重摄老照片的方式来讲述长城百年变迁的沧桑故事。作者使用重摄技术,真实、直观地再现了它的过去和现在。 这里的大部分作品是威廉·林赛三年间在华北广袤大地上奔走35000公里取得的成果。除了三脚架、相机等摄影器材之外,他总是随身携带几十年乃至上百年前拍摄的老照片。每到现场,他不仅需要找到老照片拍摄的准确对象,还要不畏艰辛找到能表现长城今天的真实面貌、反映它今昔变迁对比的*视角。 内容丰富多彩是本书的一大特色。72组新老照片对比鲜明,让读者目睹长城百年沧桑;重摄地点的历史回顾,言简意赅却发人深省;早期旅游、探险者用生花之笔描述的长城与今天见证人提供证言相互印
