Prince Chun Through the Lens: Negotiating the Photographic Medium in Royal Images. Gu, Y. Ars Orientalis, 43:125–138, 2013. Publisher: [Regents of the University of Michigan, The Smithsonian Institution]
Paper abstract bibtex [Prince Chun Yihuan belonged to the innermost circle of the Manchu imperial clan. He was the seventh son of the Daoguang Emperor (1782-1850), the brother-in-law of the Empress Dowager Cixi (1835-1908), the father of the Guangxu Emperor (1871-1908), and the grandfather of Puyi, the Xuantong Emperor (1906-1967). Encumbered by his complicated relationship with the Empress Dowager, Yihuan has often been depicted as an overcautious figure, restrained from bold action or self-expression. Yihuans avid embrace of photography, including collecting, exchanging, organizing, and staging photographic portraits, challenges the passive role history has assigned to him and demonstrates impressive agency. The photographic images of Yihuan, especially those resulting from his patronage of studio photographer Liang Seetay, illustrate clever self-representations as well as a creative expansion of the function and visual language of the photographic medium.]
