content: Pope's travel photography began with an extensive record of his 1929 trip to China with the China International Famine Relief Commission.  On later research trips he documented visits to important sites, kilns and ceramics collections. He used many of them to illustrate lectures. He also received photographs from others with whom he traveled, especially in Japan. He had a large collection of photographs on ceramics and other artwork germane to his research as well as general photographs of Asian countries.
