90499Liverpool Jabez Vale n.d. circa 1840. . Broadside 31 x 29.5 cm. approx printed in blue ink with a large pictorial vignette surrounded by an ornamental border.<br /> Rare Liverpool printed broadside. The text consists of a quote from Lord Byron followed by a nineteen-line text praising the city and giving details of its topography and features of interest.<br /><br />Nanking porcelain was a major export item and the city would have been of great interest to people in the West. The blue on white of the broadside presumably reflects the distinctive blue-and-white porcelain itself.<br /> Liverpool, Jabez Vale, n.d. circa 1840. unknown

Produced during a golden age of East Asian travel this convenient compendium lists places of interest and suggested itineraries for major cities alongside dozens of advertisements for hotels curio shops and luxury goods. Foreign tourists in East Asia were not a new sight in the early 20th century but the construction of railway lines from the late 19th century caused a dramatic increase in the ease and possibilities of travel. In Hong Kong Shanghai and other large cities the number of businesses catering to the foreign tourist market ballooned with many listed in this guide. Inside travellers could find information on the Hong Kong Hotel and the famous Grand Hotel des Wagon-Lits in Peking's Legation Quarter as well advertisements for firms as varied as the Hong Kong and Kowloon Taxicab Company the outfitters Aux Chic Parisien U. B. Pilsener Beer of Shanghai Strehlneek's Chinese Art Studio and Clerici Bedoni & Co. importers of fine Italian wines. Two pages of pidgin English phrases are provided to help travellers ask for the "Sing-song house" the theatre or "Smelleum water" Eau de Cologne. The California Directory Association produced a number of tourist guides for travellers to the Far East all of which are now rare. Duodecimo.

1922174979Hong Kong Weihaiwei Canton and at sea: 1922-27. An album compiled by an officer likely involved with the maintenance and testing of battleships and submarines interspersing photographs taken while on duty with his tourist snapshots and shots of friends. Nine images show vessels from the China Station's fleet of L-Class submarines being put through their paces. The photographs are arranged roughly chronologically and although many are captioned and some show the officer he is unidentified. It commences in 1922 and seven photographs taken onboard the battlecruiser HMS Repulse in the Mediterranean show Repulse and HMS Hood the largest ship in the Royal Navy undergoing full power trials. Photographs taken in China a few years later continue the theme. During the 1920s L-Class submarines served on the station as the Fourth Submarine Flotilla and the album contains photographs of HMS L3 and L4 during trials at Hong Kong in 1926 as well as diving trials for HMS L5. Two photographs taken atop the main body of HMS L2 show it forging ahead at full power. He also records the process of changing the submarine's propellor. A range of images document life in Weihaiwei the base from which British naval power radiated in north China. He has the chance to visit HMS Titania a submarine depot ship and he relaxes at the United Services Club recording the appearance of the grounds and the view from the club out to sea. There is time to play some golf on nearby Liugong Island and visit the Temple of the Four Winds and the Beehive Tombs. He captures for posterity the naval boat race including the "veteran officers' skiff" pulled by Captain later Admiral Robert Henry Taunton Raikes 1885-1953 commander of the Fourth Submarine Flotilla. The sights and sounds of south China similarly beckon. In Canton he visits the waterfront and temples and photographs goods being taken to market and images show him holidaying with friends at Repulse Bay in Hong Kong. Interspersed are other glimpses onto life at sea: Hood's quarterdeck rigged for dancing; a group of pirates captured after they seized and torched the steamship SS Sunning near Hong Kong in late 1926; and cricket on the deck of a cruise ship. Landscape quarto album buff card covers tied with light brown cord through punch holes front cover with black embossed letters within blind-stamped panel 18 stiff card leaves full with 181 tipped-in gelatin silver photographs most c. 85 x 60 mm to 115 x 160 mm short pencil and ink captions.

1933144201Moscow: Parti noe izd-vo 1933. First edition first printing uncommon institutionally of this widely cited Russian research publication on the soviets controlled by the Chinese Communist Party in the early 1930s. It reflects the Kremlin's keen paternalistic interest in the development of China's communist movement and stamping Comintern authority on Mao and other party leaders. Worldcat records just ten copies. After the collapse of the Chinese Communist Party's CCP First United Front with the Kuomintang in 1927 the remnants of the CCP retreated to rural areas and formed a number of soviets as experiments in cultivating a socialist revolution in the countryside. These base areas including Jingangshan and Jiangxi-Fujian became the birthplaces of the rurally-focused ideology that would eventually deliver the whole of China for the CCP. Historical research continues to reveal the Soviet Union's extensive involvement in the CCP's early growth. In 1930 Stalin and other Comintern figures had been instrumental in convincing a wing of the CCP leadership to abandon hopes of forming urban soviets and instead focus on cultivating support among the peasantry. By 1933 having grown to distrust Mao's leadership Moscow again altered the shape of the party by sending Bo Gu one of the "28 Bolsheviks" and Otto Braun to take charge of the Jiangxi soviet and manage military operations against Kuomintang encirclement campaigns. Moscow needed access to the most up-to-date information on the base areas. The present work contains a 100-page introduction to the Chinese soviets co-authored by the Russian Sinologist Evgenii Sigismundovich Iolk 1900-1937 who was ideally qualified on account of having been in China in 1926-27 as a member of Borodin's staff specialising in agrarian issues. During this period Iolk had had a front row seat to Mao's early attempts to organise the peasantry. In 1932 he began working in the intelligence section of the General Staff of the Red Army in which role he undoubtedly enjoyed access to the latest information on developments in China. Octavo. With 5 folding maps 1 with colour. Original red cloth title to spine and front board reverse outlined in silver block silver hammer and sickle device to spine. With the errata slip tipped in. A few marks and faint stains to cloth extremities a little rubbed textblock and upper margin of maps lightly browned. A very good copy. hardcover

Uniformly bound in original printed wrappers some scuffing soiling edgewear occasional light foxing still a VG- uncut & unopened presentation set inscribed and presented by Honore Lantenois & Henri Mansuy to Prof. Marcellin Boule 1861-1942 French geologist palaeontologist and physical anthropologist who reconstructed the first complete Neanderthal skeleton in France. First edition presentation set of this massive first installment in the Geological Survey of Southeast Asia begun in 1908 documenting the biostratigraphy of the Yunnan Region which was awarded the Tchihatchef Prize of the French Academy of Sciences. Much of this survey work was done during the building of the Hanoi to Yunnan-fou Kunming railroad which was built by the French to exploit the tremendous mineral wealth of Yunnan. The Director of the Department of Natural Resources for France in Vietnam was Honore Lantenois 1863-1940 who worked for years with Henri Mansuy 1857-1937 and sent him back to France several times to study palaeontology at the School of Natural Resources Ecole des Mines. Lantenois recruited Jacques Deprat 1880-1935 in 1908 -- at the time a brilliant palaeontologist -- to conduct an ambitious program mapping the geology of Indochina and neighboring areas. All three men became involved in the notorious Deprat Affair which resulted in Mansuy accusing Deprat to Lantenois in 1917 that Deprat had used a few European-sources trilobites among his fossil specimens from Indochina and Yunnan. This accusation rested on the distinction that the suspect trilobites were not just similar in nature to others found in Europe but the matrix they were embedded may have originated from Europe. Although nearly 90 years later it would be determined that the trilobite fauna discovered by Deprat indicated that the Yunnan had occupied a location adjacent to Bohemia originally in the early Palaeozoic period; the French scientific community condemned Deprat at the time stripped him of his degrees and posts and forced him to leave the field. A complete set including the Atlas is quite scarce.

1862220053Japan.: 山田屋庄次郎. Yamada Shōjirō. Bunkyu 1 1862. Colour woodblock print 37.2 x 25.3 cms the sheet a little age-toned a spot of browning at the foot and a pinhole in the upper margin but the image unaffected very good condition. This colour woodblock print by Utagawa Yoshitora is an excellent example of Yokohama-e Yokohama Prints which were very popular in Japan after the country was opened in the mid-19th century. Yokohama was one of the trading ports with the outside world and many foreigners were residing in the area. The Yokohama-e was very similar to the Nagasaki-e Nagasaki Prints and depicted people and cultures which were foreign to the Japanese. Utagawa Yoshitora was active between the end of Edo Period to the mid-Meiji Period and produced numerous Nishiki-e prints including Yokohama-e in his career. He was regarded as one of the top Nishiki-e artists around that time. <br> <br>In this print a Western man is strolling outside with his dog and a Mongolian boy who carries an umbrella for him. The man is observing something in the distance and about to jot down something in his notebook with a pen which he holds in his right hand. Behind him his young attendant plays with the dog unobserved by his pre-occupied master. . 山田屋庄次郎. [Yamada Shōjirō]. unknown
