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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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

1736137249J. Wood c. 1736. Rare eighteenth century hand-colored map providing plans of Kanton Shang Chwen Shan and Ma-kau being a plate extracted from Du Halde's celebrated Description Geographique the most important cartographic record of the region of the eighteenth century. In near fine condition. Double matted and framed. The entire piece measures 14 inches by 11.5 inches. Based on surveys conducted by French Jesuits at the behest of the Emperor Kang Hsiand Jean-Baptiste Du Halde's Description Geographique constitutes the first scientific mapping of China and remains the most important cartographic record of the region from the eighteenth century. Du Halde did not travel to China but collected seventeen Jesuit missionaries' reports and provided an encyclopedic survey of the history culture and society of China and "Chinese Tartary" that is Manchuria. Voltaire said of Du Halde's work: "Although it is developed out of Paris and he hath not known the Chinese he gave on the basis of the memoirs of his colleagues the widest and the best description the empire of China has had worldwide."

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. <br> <br>"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. <br> <br>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. <br> <br>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: <br> <br>"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

2004219697Privately Printed. 2004 2005 and 2010. A meticulously kept richly detailed collection of colour and black and white photographs two self-published spiral-bound books and a manuscript most likely intended to be printed in a similar manner to the two books. <br> <br>The collection consists of: 7 colour photographs and 23 black and white photographs most likely dating from the mid-2000s and measuring 20 x 25.5cm on average; A Week on the Jining-Tongliao Jitong Railway 2004 62pp 29 x 32cm spiral-bound; A Day on the Jitong Railway 2005 56pp 29 x 32cm spiral-bound; and Huanan Forestry Railway 2010 10pp 31 x 34cm leaves inserted into stapled sleeves. Principal focus is on the Jining-Tongliao Railway in Inner Mongolia and captures the railway as it was before its electrification in the 2010s. The two books relating to the railway are carefully captioned in intricate detail and give particular attention to the locomotives pictured and the character of the line's geography. The book relating to the Huanan Forestry Railway is curious for its timing with its photographs having been captured in 2010 - only a year before the railway's final closure and the replacement of its functions by a lorry service. .
