1940 Old photo of Baoding, Hebei, taken by Heda Morrison

Hedda Morrison (1908-1991), an old photo of Baoding, Hebei Province in 1940, was a famous German female photographer. From 1933 to 1946, she spent time in China and took a lot of high-quality photos. In 1991, Hedda Morrison died in Australia. According to her will, more than 10000 negatives and 6000 photos she took in 13 years in Chinese Mainland were donated to Harvard University

80 years ago, she came to Baoding, leaving images and marks of that era for Baoding, so that we can see the appearance of Baoding 80 years ago and various life scenes of Baoding people at that time. Today, let’s go back 80 years to witness the charm of time through these precious old photos of Huda Morrison

这张可不是是保定的那座城门哦！是大慈阁 也叫市阁凌霄

位于河北省保定市莲池区穿行楼北街57号。元太祖二十二年（1227年），大慈阁由元代蔡国公张柔所建。一组寺庙建筑群体，因其主体建筑称大慈阁而得名。大慈阁坐北朝南，单檐歇山顶的山门，门楣书“真觉禅寺”，天王殿后东为钟楼，西为鼓楼。主体建筑大慈阁歇山布瓦顶，重檐三层。

保定城市远眺

以下是80年前的保定人影像，这组照片内容丰富，数量众多，拍摄了各行各业、形形色色保定人，他们有男有女，有老有少，或辛苦劳作、或快乐玩耍、或悠闲度日、为了展示了一副真实而生动的80年前的生活画面

下面数张照片拍摄的一个农贸市场，人来人往比较繁华

虽然赫达.莫里逊在中国拍摄的照片有上万幅，但是本人目前通过各种渠道整理出来的照片也才2174幅，虽然数量较少，但是照片质量却不错。有爱好者可以找我索取。

可惜这组保定地区的老照片不在我已经整理出来的2174幅之列，所以图片较小，希望以后有机会整理到更大和清晰的照片，然后在分享给大家。
