[CHINESE BOND]. THE BRITISH AND CHINESE CORPORATION LIMITEDBiblio.com

Chinese Imperial Railway. Five per cent gold loan for 1500000 Sterling Canton-Kowloon Railway. Bond for £100.

1907179096London.: Waterlow & Sons Limited. 1907. Engraved bond in red and black 51.7 x 33 cm central fold corners trimmed elaborate foliated borders signatures of the Viceroy of Canton the Chinese Minister in London and the Director of the Chinese and British Corporation on the verso text in three bordered panels including a finely engraved steam train; together with a separate leaf of coupons approx. 51.2 x 20.5 cm numbered 3 - 20 1 & 2 excised the bond slightly rippled and the outer edge discoloured the coupons with edge toning and staining on the verso and marked £100.0.0 in ink but the both in very good condition. Impressive bond issue with the coupon redemption date running until 1985 !. The Kowloon-Canton Railway KCR was the first cross-border railway connecting Hong Kong with mainland China. "Discussions between the Colonial Office in London the Hong Kong Government and the British & Chinese Corporation led to an agreement in late 1904 that the Hong Kong Government would undertake the financing construction and operation of the section of the line within Hong Kong. The remaining section to Canton Guangzhou was financed through a loan raised by the British & Chinese Corporation on behalf of the Chinese Government which operated the section after its construction by the corporation. Settling the detailed financing arrangements for the British and Chinese sections proved to be complicated because the funding of the British Section as it became known depended on the raising of the loan for the Chinese Section. The arrangements were finally ratified by the Hong Kong Government's passage of the Railway Loans Ordinance in 1905 clearing the way for construction of the British Section. It took until 1907 however for the loan agreement for the Chinese Section to be concluded with the financing being provided by way of a bond issue floated in London in April of the same year. The importance attached to the project was reflected in a speech made to the Hong Kong Legislative Council by the colonial governor Sir Frederick Lugard in 1908: "You will recall that in 1905 it was decided to build the railway by means of a loan. It was not a question of whether the undertaking would be an immediately remunerative concern; it was not a question of whether the railway should pay interest and sinking fund on the capital expended or even if it would at once pay working expenses. It was a question of preserving the predominance of Hong Kong. It was a question of seeing that the final outlet of the main trunk railway should be at Kowloon and at no other place." see Wikipedia entry . Waterlow & Sons Limited. unknown

[CHINA MARINES] TREDER, John PBiblio.com

Archive of Letters and Photographs of a U.S. Marine in China and the Philippines 1912-1913

191237938Ripon CA: S.i. ca.1912-1913. A small archive of photographs and letters relating to the Marine Corps career 1909-1913 of John P. Treder a Polish-born resident of Ripon California. Includes 26 original vintage photographic prints a few commercial but most apparently vernacular of scenes in China and the Philippines; three pieces of printed ephemera and 9 ALS. A few photographs with marginal creasing or tears and light soil; letters folded in original mailing envelopes; overall Very Good. In February 1912 a small occupying force of U.S. Marines was sent to Peking to protect American interests during the brief but violent spate of riots that took place there following the Revolution of 1911 and the subsequent abdication of the Dowager Empress. John born Joannes P. Treder a Private in Company "E" of the U.S. 2nd Marines was part of this occupying force; this small but informative collection of commercial and vernacular photographs would have been collected by him during the brief interval of his Chinese service between February and April of 1912. The photographs include views of Peking; garrisons of both American and Chinese troops; and a few amateur snapshots of what we presume to be Treder in the company of friends including a fascinating series of four photographs of a bloody bare-knuckle fistfight between two soldiers. One commercially produced image depicts a pair of decapitated heads with the printed caption "A Pair Who Paid / Peking." Another - probably a vernacular image - shows an alleyway littered with dead bodies the victims lying face-down in the mud at least one with his hands tied behind his back. As the Marine presence in Peking was small about 200 troops and brief about eight weeks these photographs must be among the very few images of the Peking Riots extant in the West. This sets this collection apart from those assembled during the Boxer Rebellion of ten years earlier - a broader conflict which spawned a profusion of sensationalistic commercial images not dissimilar from the ones collected here and for which we mistook these images at first glance. Also present here are several photographic views of Manila and Subic Bay in the Philippines the usual home of the 2nd Marines; three pieces of printed ephemera; and a clutch of letters from various members of Treder's family addressed to him after his return stateside in 1913. In the year prior to his mustering out Treder was stationed aboard the Receiving Ship Saratoga at Mare Island in northern California; the family writes from their farm in Ripon situated about midway between Stockton and Modesto in the Central Valley. The letters touch frankly on family matters including the hardships of farm life; their continued attempts to sell out; and some unspecified financial setbacks suffered by Treder's father. According to genealogical websites the Treder family originally from north Poland emigrated to California from Wisconsin some time around the turn of the century. S.i. unknown

WORLD WAR I IN CHINA - MIFUNE, Shuko (photo).Biblio.com

Nichidoku sen'eki kinen shashin-cho "Celebratory Photograph Album of the German-Japanese War".

1915176119Qingdao: Mifune Shashinkan 1915. Second edition first printing of this album of photographs of Qingdao in the First World War. It contains many shots from the only major land battle of the war to take place in China including of heavy weaponry soldiers on the march encampments and local infrastructure. As part of the succession of unequal treaties imposed upon the Qing Dynasty in the late 19th century the German Empire leased Jiaozhou Bay in 1898 and used it to build the city of Qingdao. This became its primary naval base in the region and therefore a major target in the First World War. Under the terms of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance of 1902 Britain requested help from the Japanese Empire to dislodge the German forces. The Imperial Japanese Navy proceeded to blockade the port and land their troops putting it under siege in September 1914. The garrison held out for two months but was overwhelmed. This was the only major land battle in the Asian theatre of the First World War the second air-sea battle in world history and the second time that the Japanese had defeated a major Western power. This volume is a collection of photographs taken during the preparation fighting and aftermath of this battle. The photographer was Mifune Shuko who "accompanied the soldiers through thick and thin running through a rain of bullets facing rain and wind hunger and frost putting his body on the line to photograph the war" p. ii. The volume opens with a colour photograph of Lingyan Temple near the city of Tai'an followed by hundreds of black and white photographs showing not just the battle itself but also the city of Qingdao and its people. This second edition was released 10 days after the first edition on 25 April 1915. Octavo. With 121 pages of half-tone photographs one colour photograph of Lingyan Temple; text in Japanese and English. Single page of publisher's advertisements to rear. Original black ribbed cloth boards light green thread binding spine ends capped in purple cloth blind vertical rule to both boards front board lettered in gilt. Signature to title of "Hermann Walter 1. Nov. 1914". Boards worn a few tidemarks gilt tarnished title page with one chip to top left corner and one closed tear repaired with tape light offsetting plates bright: a very good copy. hardcover

1979013766Baiwan Village Beijing: China Architecture & Building Press 1979. Presumed First Edition. Soft cover. Near Fine. Stiff glossy paper covers measures 10.25 inches 26 cm x 14.5 inches 37 cm with 22 architectural drawings almost all full page and mainly in full color. We could find no record of this publication outside of China. The text is entirely in Chinese. The Google translation of the text on the fifth photograph is as follows: "Architectural drawing is an important means for architectural designers to express their design intentions explore design plans and improve their artistic accomplishments. In their design practice many architectural designers have drawn a large number of architectural drawings and they also often do architectural sketches. This album is selected from the drawings sent to our agency by many architectural designers and art workers across the country. After our agency issued a notice to collect architectural drawings in March this year many architectural designers and teachers from the Department of Architecture of colleges and universities responded enthusiastically and sent more than 1700 works. Our agency invited relevant experts to form an architectural painting selection committee to evaluate these works. The selection committee was composed of the following comrades: Bai Zuomin Qi Kang Zhu Ying Hua Yiyu Du Rujian Wu Liangyong He Zhenqiang Zhang Kaiji Zhong Xunzheng Xi Xiaopeng Huang Yuanqiang Peng Yigang and Dai Nianci. After repeated evaluation more than 200 excellent works were selected. When selecting the proportion of the number of works of each type of painting was appropriately considered. This album will be published on the eve of the 30th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. We hope that this album can reflect the great achievements of my country's socialist construction from one aspect and at the same time we also hope that this album can play a role in exchanging architectural painting techniques and improving the artistic quality of architectural designers.

Chinese Communist Leadership and Global Diplomacy: Mao Zedong Press Photograph Archive 1949-1972

1949205951949. Unidentified press photographers Mao Zedong photograph archive 1949-1972 documents Chinese Communist Party leadership and international diplomatic engagement during the consolidation and global positioning of the People's Republic of China supporting research into Cold War political culture state media practices and representations of authority. The group includes images spanning from the founding period of the People's Republic through the Cultural Revolution and into the early 1970s diplomatic realignments providing visual evidence of how Mao's image circulated through press networks. The material captures both staged political encounters and informal moments including early association with Soviet leadership and later interactions with foreign dignitaries establishing a longitudinal record of leadership imagery across shifting geopolitical contexts. Eight press photographs primarily silver gelatin prints ranging in size from approximately 3 x 3.75 inches to 8 x 11 inches originating from a press archive and bearing evidence of editorial handling. Seven photographs appear to be period press prints with two later reprints. The earliest image shows Mao Zedong seated beside Joseph Stalin during Stalin's seventieth birthday celebration in 1949 with areas of the image shaded by hand for publication emphasis. A 1966 photograph depicts Mao seated indoors reading a newspaper and smoking presenting a controlled but informal representation of leadership. Another image from the same year shows Mao standing at a railing beside Lin Biao suggesting a public appearance or review setting. Later photographs include Mao in the presence of two Black women during a diplomatic encounter likely connected to outreach toward African nations as well as two 1972 images showing meetings with Asian prime ministers at Zhongnanhai the central leadership compound in Beijing. The photographs consistently show formal staging grouped delegations and controlled environments typical of state-mediated press imagery. Produced and circulated during a period that includes the Sino-Soviet alliance the Cultural Revolution and early 1970s diplomatic outreach the archive provides insight into how Mao's image functioned within both domestic propaganda and international political communication. The inclusion of figures such as Stalin and Lin Biao situates the material within key moments of alliance and internal fracture while the presence of African and Asian representatives reflects China's engagement with postcolonial states. Minor handling wear consistent with press use including editorial markings and light surface wear; prints remain clear with strong tonal range. Overall in very good condition. unknown

[CHINESE-AMERICANA HANDBILL] BRODSKY, BENJAMINBiblio.com

Real Life in China. A Trip Through the Mysterious Forbidden City Over the Great Wall of China and Other Famous Places.

1915217498San Francisco.: Atlas Printing Co. 416 S. Dearborn St. Circa1915. Printed handbill 4pp bifolium 20 x 14cms four black and white photographic illustrations and text within borders original folds small edge tears early pencilled annotation "Milwaukee -- 1915" at the foot of the front page and a couple of interior doodles a little dusty especially at the folds but overall in very good condition. Exceedingly scarce unrecorded handbill advertising Benjamin Brodsky's documentary "Real Life in China.the most interesting and educational photoplay ever produced in 8 big reels" and only the first of a two part film intended to be shown with a lecture by Brodsky himself. The handbill claims "Mysteries are mysteries no longer under the searching eye of the camera and the walled in and superstition-locked glories of China are brought forth as evidence of the real wonder of the celestial empire". The four captioned photographic illustrations show: A pagoda; Pumping water on the rice fields; Grinding the Rice and a Chinese Prisoner in stocks. The US National Film Preservation Foundation on whose site a remarkable fragment of the film has been preserved and is viewable notes that: "On the eve of World War I as the political struggles in China made the news Americans knew little about the vast and mysterious country of more than four hundred million people. But by the end of 1917 there were at least 10 documentaries available to satisfy curiosity about America’s new ally in the Far East. Virtually all were short subjects that like the Burton Holmes travelogues from Paramount played alongside features. Travel shorts with a more educational slant continued in circulation through schools and nonprofit groups for years afterward. Of these offerings the hugely ambitious Trip through China was “so vastly different from the general run of tour films that it stands in a class by itself” wrote Motion Picture News. Five years in the making or a less probable ten in some tellings the documentary was the brainchild of Benjamin Brodsky a widely traveled Russian-born businessman who claimed to speak 11 languages. According to a 1912 Moving Picture World profile the young entrepreneur had moved to China from San Francisco after the 1906 Earthquake and set up shop as a film exhibitor. A Trip through China was probably fashioned from the 20000 feet of negative that Brodsky brought back to San Francisco in 1915. Versions screened locally nine months later and in Los Angeles the following year. When distribution went national in March 1917 the ten-reeler was heralded as a “revelation.” .
