Yvette Borup Andrews: Photographing Central Asia

quote [ Although often overshadowed by the escapades of her more famous husband (said by some to be the real-life inspiration for Indiana Jones), the photographs taken by Yvette Borup Andrews on their first expeditions through Central Asia stand today as a compelling contribution to early visual anthropology. Lydia Pyne looks at the story and impact of this unique body of images. ]

There's simliar artwork related to Japan: http://www.oldphotosjapan.com/

Some old pictures of famouse places can be compared to today. Suprisingly the solid stuff (like rocks) seems to change more than trees. Go figure ..

Her husband, Roy Chapman Andrews has long been a hero of mine, and as such I was aware of her work. I am glad to see she's getting some respect in her own right.
