193123260Shanghai: Kelly and Walsh 1931. Hardcover. Very good condition. A presentation copy of a scarce volume celebrating the 25th anniversary of a Danish engineering company that brought western technology to the industrial development of 1900s China and secured the exclusive right to represent General Electric in China. Andersen Meyer first worked on a joint basis with an American import export firm based in Shanghai named Fearon Daniel & Company to set up an engineering firm in China. In 1907 it won the right to represent G. E. in China and in 1908 secured its first large contract with the Mukden Electric Light Works. The firm quickly diversified from the construction and engineering fields to partner with American makers of textile machinery and equipment selling the first cotton mill entirely equipped with American machinery. It also expanded into power plant machinery electrical machinery including Xray equipment plumbing and heating equipment agricultural machinery and drugs and chemicals. Offices were located in Tientsin Peiping Harbin Mukden Hankow Tsingtao Tsinan Hong Kong and Canton. Meyer Andersen represented the major American manufacturers of the day from G. E.

L. Robbins with thanks for your long and loyal cooperation. From your old friend Vilhelm Meyer. March 1931". The first section is written in English; the second section in Chinese translated and prepared by Kuang Chao Lee with a special title page and separate pagination with Chinese numerals. The volume is impressive for its wide array of b&w photographic illustrations in all the areas in which the company operated including staff portraits showrooms of the various departments interior views of factories including cotton & silk mills power plants lighting of Shanghai buildings railway and locomotive equipment and workshops and bridge construction. There is an unusual double spread photograph of the Bund in Shanghai with 29 numbered buildings and a chart below listing all the heating supplies provided by Andersen Meyer to the prominent landmark buildings all along the waterfront! pp92-93. The many images in a broad range of fields provide a vivid sense of the tremendous impact of western technology on China's industrial growth. In 1934 Vilhelm Meyer died and the ownership of the company passed to its main American partner General Electric. In 1949 following the founding of the People's Republic of China many international firms in Shanghai were nationalized including Andersen Meyer. By 1950 it was completely Chinese controlled.

Two Monumental Hook-Work Parade Banners: Chairman Mao Reviewing The Great Army of the Cultural Revolution

196716838Urumqi XinJiang Uyghur Autonomous Region: Cultural Revolution Committee of Urumqi / Xinjiang Army Divisioni 1967/8. Two extraordinary hand-crafted parade banners ca. 110" x 84" 9 feet x 7 feet one slightly smaller. Each entirely composed of hook-work with colored yarns on white muslin backing. Slight age-toning and soil; a few threads loose but no significant losses; Near Fine condition overall. Folded and stored in original velvet draw-string carrying bags as found. Both banners bear the inscription "Chairman Mao Reviewing the Great Army of the Cultural Revolution" and depict the August 1966 mass rally at Tiananmen Gate where more than 10 million Red Guards from all over China converged to express their solidarity with Mao and his second-in-command Lin Biao. Additional text on the lower banner reads "Long Live Chairman Mao for ten thousand years" and "Sailing in the ocean requires a helmsman" -- both quotes from Lin Biao. The agencies responsible for the banners are identified in lower right of each: "Cultural Revolution Committee of Xinjiang Army Division 1968" upper banner and "Cultural Revolution Committee of Urumqi 1967" lower. The presence of Biao the figure to the right of Mao holding the Little Red Book in the top banner is of particular interest. Biao compiler of The Quotations of Chairman Mao popularly known as the "Little Red Book" and coiner of the phrase "Maoism" was probably more responsible than any other figure for creating the cult of personality around Mao particularly at the time of the Cultural Revolution. He quickly ascended Party ranks and was widely seen as Mao's obvious successor. But in 1971 Biao was exposed in the process of an apparent coup attempt the details of the event have never been made public. He died in an airplane crash attempting to leave China and from this point forward was officially condemned as a traitor by the Communist Party; any record of his achievements on behalf of the Revolution was expunged from the official record and any positive image of Biao would have been confiscated and destroyed as a matter of course - suggesting either that these banners left China prior to 1971 or that they remained out of sight until some later date. The second possibility is plausible given whence the banners issued - both were created by Red Guard branches in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region an extremely remote province in China's northwest corner and for many years the center of a militant independence movement for Uyghur and other Turkic minorities.

American Red Cross Book of Recipes for the Use of Chinese Foodstuffs. The ABCs of War Time Economy

19184224Shanghai: Presbyterian Mission Press 1918. First edition. Near Fine. Quarter cloth over pictorial drab boards. Early ownership signature to upper front board and some faint soiling mostly to spine and edges. Textblock firm and square measuring 210 x 130mm. Internally a surprisingly fresh copy collating complete with adverts to front and rear: 12 138 16. Introducing a range of "native products" to Americans living in the region the cookery reflects a growing need for nutritious recipes and supply chain substitutions in wartime. The sole copy on the market OCLC reports only 7 copies. The only Chinese-published cookbook "to deal only with native products and recipes that could be made from them." In their preface to this new cookery the committee for the Women's Auxiliary explains in clear terms what sets their cookery apart. "This book was definitely war product. It was prepared with two ideas in view: that of utilizing local products as substitutes for the home imported foodstuffs and secondly that of reducing the cost of living. It was different from all other cook books that had been published in China for foreigners' use in that it dealt only with native products and recipes that could be made from them." While some recipes are titles in English only the compilers included Cantonese translations wherever possible in addition to including a glossary at the rear called Hints for the Housekeeper as well as a List of Terms Necessary in Food Preparation which both provide translations and pronunciations for Cantonese words related to food and household cleaning products. During and after WWI Shanghai had become a space of rich and problematic interactions between cultures. In addition to rising Western military forces its reputation as the "Paris of the East" drove in American and British tourists while later large residential areas were being built in the north due to war concessions. Opium smuggling prostitution and a spreading wealth gap caused friction. The Women's Auxiliary composed of intelligent and educated members with a cultural appreciation for these fluctuations as well as for the culture into which they had migrated sought to use the kitchen as a positive space for the exchange of food language and ideas.
