1898WRCAM52771Omaha 1898. Broadside approximately 10 1/2 x 7 3/4 inches. Previously folded some separations along old fold lines. Tanned corners slightly chipped. Good. A curious survival from the 1898 Trans- Mississippi Exposition held in Omaha promoting the sale of Mongolian jade carvings at a booth in the International Hall of the fair. The advertisement emphasizes the obscurity of the region of origin "the Chinese population could not understand their Mongolian brothers except through writing" and the convoluted journey of the artwork to America "carried in wicker baskets suspended on a pole resting on the shoulders of two men". "Were it not for the fact that the workers receive but a small daily wage hundreds of dollars would be represented in many of the pieces; as it is it is possible to dispose of them at moderate prices. An opportunity is thus offered to lovers of the curious and the beautiful to secure something entirely new in the art world something too of great artistic merit." unknown books

16783Republic of China 1927 Nationalist Government Lottery Loan Five Dollars. 1927 China 5 Dollar Lottery Loan. The History of the Republic of China begins after the Qing dynasty in 1912 This was a crucial year. In early 1927 the Kuomintang-CCP rivalry led to a split in the revolutionary ranks. The CCP and the left wing of the Kuomintang decided to move the seat of the Nationalist government from Guangzhou to Wuhan. There now were three capitals in China: the internationally recognized warlord regime in Beijing; the Communist in Wuhan; and the right-wing civilian-military regime at Nanjing The Comintern cause appeared bankrupt. A new policy was instituted calling on the CCP to foment armed insurrections in both urban and rural areas in preparation for an expected rising tide of revolution. That year an insurrection was led by Mao Zedong who would later become chairman of the CCP and head of state of the People's Republic of China. unknown books
