The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: SOUTH CHINA AND FORMOSA
Carl Stone's camera followed American naval activity beyond the Philippines to South China and Formosa around the turn of the twentieth century, recording temple gateways and swallowtail rooflines, walled lanes at Swatow and Amoy, park fountains at Taipeh, and a quiet coast. His handwritten album captions still identify scenes long since separated from their photographs.
