Taiwan - the "Beautiful Island" or "Ilha Formosa" of the Portuguese navigators - is the subject of this series of photographs by Frederick J. Foley, who spent most of the 1950s there, teaching English at National Taiwan University in Taipei and travelling around the island with his camera. The photographs shown in this exhibit were taken using an Exacta 35mm camera with the normal Biotar f.2 lens as well as with 135mm telephoto and 35mm wide angle lens, and a Rolleiflex Planar 3:5.
