THIS IS A VERY RARE BOOK WORLDCAT ONLY LOCATES 3 COPIES ! . THE BOXER UPRISING 1900 This work documents the results of the Boxer Uprising of 1899-1900 where in anti-foreign sentiments reached a boiling point. Several foreigners were killed mostly missionaries later when foreign embassies were besieged some diplomats were also killed. This resulted in the combined efforts of these foreign countries who teamed up to suppress this rebellion. This rebellion was mostly limited to North China where it began in Shandong province under German control and spread Westward across Northern China through Beijing. . This work shows historic photographs of the foreign troops occupying Beijing Peking China. Good photographs of these troops in and around the Forbidden City namely those from Japan Russia France America and Germany. . What makes this graphic work important is that it shows a good part of the Palace and other Forbidden City buildings as they were before the troops actually damaged or pillaged these historic sights. Each country garrisoned their troops in a select group of old buildings hither to unseen by commoners and especially never by any foreigner. It is a superb look at the inner world of the Emperor of China. . THE PHOTOGRAPHER: Yamamoto Sanshichiro was a Meiji era photographer born in 1855 in Okayama Japan. From 1882 to about 1897 he had a photographic studio in Tokyo. Later when news of the Boxer Rebellion swept the world he quickly went to Peking to photograph the historic activities of foreign troops in the capitol including the Japanese. After photographing the aftermath in Peking he finally settled down in Tianjin and opened his third photographic studio. . CONDITION: This work is truly an excellent copy externally and internally. There is a very tiny bit of edge wear at the lower right a tiny chip loss and upper left front corners. The purple silk ties are bright solid and very clean. There is a very slight hint of where this book was probably lightly folded in half but not hard and there is a mild hint remaining. From about the middle onwards there is not much evidence of this at all. By and large we feel this work is an excellent copy. There is NO damp or other condition issues with this item. Overall exceptionally clean and solid throughout. This is a very RARE book has seldom been found let alone in such lovely condition. A REMARKABLE COPY ! See photographs posted to our website from this copy. . RARITY: Worldcat only locates three copies in the world. This is indeed a very RARE book ! See reference below for more information. . BIBLIOGRAPHY: The author/photographer was noted for photographing and publishing two other superb photographic books on China: "Peking" published in 1906 and his stunning "View and Custom of North China" in 1909. . EDITION: This is the FIRST and ONLY SMALL EDITION of this book. .
