Co-curator, Betty Yao, was smitten the moment she saw John Thomson’s photographs of Old China and Siam at the Wellcome Library in London. She knew she just had to put together an exhibition of his work for the world to see. Here she talks to the John Thomson Exhibition video blogger about a fascination with China – both John Thomson’s and her own.
