Book Launch - Track of Time: Moments’ of Transition
available from January 20, 2021
A trove of lost photographs shows China on the cusp of change. “Track of Time” includes a foreword by Rana Mitter, essays and descriptions by Patrick Dransfield, and over 60 black and white pictures, taken by Patrick in Beijing and Datong in 1986.
The “Track of Time” collection recently featured in the Financial Times “How to Spend It” magazine (October 17, 2020) and the exhibition of the same name, curated by Carsten Schael, at the Hong Kong Foreign Correspondents’ Club.
“We are all the luckier for seeing these pictures through the deeply empathetic lens that Patrick Dransfield brought to Beijing in 1986.”
Rana Mitter OBE FBA, Professor of the History & Politics of Modern China, Oxford University
