1836WRCLIT81698Oxford: Printed by W. Baxter . 1836. 18pp. plus blank. Sewn printed wrapper. Edges a bit dust tanned small sliver chip from fore-edge of last leaf otherwise very good. First edition. With the faint round former ownership stamp of Oxford bibliographer and collector Falconer Madan. The '3' in the imprint date at a glance resembles an '8' thus resulting in entries under both 1836 and 1886 in OCLC. The printer died in 1871 and the copies at Oxford Cambridge etc are catalogued under the earlier and almost certainly correct date. COPAC notes: "Published in response to the massive programme of 'Waterloo' church building controlled by the Commission for Building New Churches between 1818 and 1857." OCLC: 244986768.

The two rarest photographs show several of the 7500 imperial examination cubicles in Canton Guangzhou while a photograph by A Chan Ya Zhen shows the famous five-story pagoda on Kun Yam Hill in 1870. The Indonesian island Java can be seen on 3 photographs including one of lake Telaga Warna by the British firm Woodbury & Page based in Batavia Jakarta. Taken further to the west were 3 photographs of Hawaii probably all taken in or near Honolulu. A rare undated photograph of the statue of King Kamehameha was taken probably right after the unveiling ceremony in 1883 as it shows a small wooden fence around the statue which can be seen in an illustration in The Graphic 28 April 1883 but is absent from all later images. Of the 2 final images one by Isaiah West Taber 1830-1912 shows Midway Point in Monterey California and the other by Hippolyte Arnoux fl. 1860-1890 a group of Arabs and camels waiting for the ferry near El Qantara in Egypt. Most of the photographs are worn at the edges with small tears and folds and a few have small holes; one of the images of Hawaii with a waterstain at the lower margin. unknown
