The pictures were taken by Xuepei De (Barry Schuttler) who is a Presbyterian missionary. He came to Taiwan in 1960, to participate in the activities of helping the rural environment. Because of his passion for photography, he spent his leisure time shooting plenty photos of the landscape. He used his camera to capture the face of Taiwan. The photos show the rural life, farming, harvesting, women’s and children’s faces in Taiwan.

For the other Taiwanese photographers in the past, these themes may be too normal to press the shutter. However, nowadays there are precious memories and record. They are precious because they are the record of the most extraordinary life.
