1967158680Hong Kong: Ta Kung Pao 1967. Hongkong has been turned into a hell for its Chinese inhabitants First edition first printing scarce in this condition of this charged and sometimes graphic bilingual photobook published by the pro-Beijing newspaper Ta Kung Pao in the wake of the Hong Kong riots and the burning of the British mission in Beijing in August 1967. Despite all the bluster privately Mao and other communist leaders were extremely keen to see the territory an important trading partner remain in British hands. Following the explosive beginning of the Cultural Revolution in China left-wing propagandists in Hong Kong infiltrated labour disputes and protests over conditions to fan the flames of anti-British sentiment. The present work presents dozens of photographs to show how patriotic residents have "armed themselves with the great thought of Mao Tse-tung" in a struggle against "anti-national oppression" foreword. A final section boasts of the global support for these actions including from London's very own Finsbury Communist Association. The present work was issued in two variants of the wrappers with no discernible priority. The front cover of the other design is lettered "The Upheaval in Hong Kong" in white against the same red-drab colour scheme. Short quarto. Photographic half-tones throughout several pages with quotations from Mao printed in red sepia vignette on first leaf. Text in Chinese and English. Original card wrappers titles to spine in red and black front cover lettered in white and black against red and drab horizontal bands. Wrappers well-preserved moderate creasing and marking loss at head of spine only slightly affecting Chinese title text block square and holding firm clean internally with light bumping to lower corner of text block. A very good copy indeed. Martin Parr & WassinkLundgren The Chinese Photobook: From the 1900s to the Present second edition 2016 p. 348. unknown

190151358Hong Kong 1901. Three quarto manuscript letters totaling 22 pages and approx. 6000 words on life in Hong Kong as an American expat. Clean and legible. The author "Katheryn" writes to her friend Jesse in Oregon describing her daily routine and life in Hong Kong with her husband Tom who works there. "Hong Kong is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. I cannot describe it to you but will send you some Kodak pictures." Her writing is rather slangy and telegraphic but she manages to convey a sense of her life and times. "We have a rickshaw of our own now Tom bought it last week. It is a nice one made in Japan and better than the ones they make here. Have two coolies so they can drag Tom up the hill. One runs behind and pushes. A tailor is making their uniforms. I chose kahki sic trimmed with red for them Will also have the monogram TWH in red letters on them. People here think you are somebody if your coolies are in uniform." She goes on at length in this manner explaining that the chair coolies necessary to negotiate the many steps in Hong Kong do not like Tom because he weighs 200 pounds. She on the other hand goes where she pleases. She discusses her wardrobe all white clothing and talks about clothing and Chinese tailors and about friends of her husband's - other expats. She describes their rooms a bargain at $160 per month. Then "Although the Plague is usually worse here in summer it seems now that there are fewer cases than there were a few weeks ago. I go through the Plague district that is where it is the worst Wauchai a suburb nearly every day." She also talks about ships currently in the harbor "trouble in the north" and the Hong Kong regiment. We gather that she's been married just a year and that her husband pampers her but that she misses her friend Jessie and is a little homesick. The first twelve-page letter was written between June 19 and 25. The second a two-pager sending condolences for a death in Jessie's family was written August 27 1900. The third letter eight pages was written in 1901. In it Kathryn talks about cameras and mentions their trip to Canton and Macao. unknown

A charming souvenir of the Rotary Club of Kowloon's annual fundraising bash for 1957 now hard to find in commerce and unrecorded in institutional collections.
