1842170558At sea & China: 1842-48. This ground is under English control though their authority is might makes right An American second mate's illustrated eyewitness account of China in the immediate aftermath of the First Opium War. Sailing east on a Jardine Matheson specie and opium runner he becomes an old China hand and a sharp observer of early colonial Hong Kong and Shanghai coastal trade and maritime life. The opening section consists of diary entries kept during the outward voyage from the United States describing a life of adventure entered almost by accident. "On the 1st of Sept. 1842 being in Boston and out of employ I shipped in the Schr Gazell" p. 1. The Gazelle - an Aberdeen-built schooner illustrated in watercolour at the front of the manuscript - sailed on 19 September 1842 with guns muskets and nine boxes of specie. Some 30 pages trace the passage with detailed daily entries including latitudes and longitudes weather hazards marine life shipboard routines and the rituals of crossing the Equator. After rounding the Cape the vessel encounters American traders off China and reaches Macao on 22 February 1843. The remainder of the manuscript comprises reflective recollections written later in the 1840s. Macao is judged healthy and pleasant but eclipsed after the war by Hong Kong now the hub of British trade. The Gazelle is reassigned to opium running along the coast bringing higher pay and extended travel. The author recalls Hong Kong in 1844: the nightly curfew gunshot the opium fleet at Whampoa and the crowded Pearl River illustrated with pencil sketches of local craft. His view of the Chinese population is unsympathetic though he offers a vivid portrait of "Boston Jack" a wealthy comprador and indispensable intermediary to American ships. Further chapters describe Canton the forts of the Bogue Amoy and its junks and Chusan praised for its industry and abundance. Shanghai emerges as a newly important centre of opium exchange its foreign settlement firmly under British control. The author sketches the harbour notes the thousands of junks and contrasts the city's "civil and obliging" inhabitants with those of Canton. The manuscript breaks off mid-sentence on page 50 leaving the writer's later life unknown but preserving a detailed first-hand record of a China on the threshold of colonial modernity.

17751691811775. QIANLONG EMPEROR OF CHINA 1736-1796. Suite of four engravings depicting the conquests of the Qianlong Emperor. From the suite of sixteen engraved plates. Printed in Paris under the direction of Charles-Nicholas Cochin. Broadsheets image size: 515 x 890 mm. Preserved in the contemporary French green paper mounts with black ink outline borders. Professionally framed. With the original French printed labels describing the individual engravings affixed to back of frames. Paris 1769-1774. These four contemporary hand-coloured engravings represent individual scenes from the exceedingly rare series of sixteen engravings commissioned by the Qianlong Emperor to commemorate the victory of his 1755-1760 military campaigns against the Western Mongols. The four plates are: I. "General Fou Te Accepts the Surrender of the Ili" showing the triumphal march of the Emperor and his general to Beijing. Drawn by Sichelbart and engraved by B.L. Prévost in 1769 Pirazzoli-t'Serstevens 1; II. "The victory of Khorgos." in the Spring of 1758 against the forces of Amoursana. Drawn by J. D Attiret cut by C. N. Cochin and engraved by J. Ph. Le Bas in 1774. Pirazzoli-t'Serstevens 4; III. "The great victory of the Qurman." on February 3 1759 when the Chinese general Fou-te with only 600 soldiers defeated an army of 5000 Muslims. Drawn by Damasceno and engraved by A. de St. Aubin in 1770. Pirazzoli-t'Serstevens 8. IV. "The Emperor Gives a Victory Banquet to the Officers and Soldiers who have distinguished themselves in battle" at Tseu-kuang-ko the Imperial Palace Gardens Beijing on July 5 1754. Drawn by Castiglione and engraved by J. Ph. le Bas 1770 Pirazzoli-t'Serstevens 16. These large Chinese-French prints are among the most impressive works ever produced by the method of copper engraving. This is the first series of engraved plates to document the conquests of the Qianlong Emperor. They represented an amalgam of Chinese imagery Italian interpretation and Parisian copperplate engraving at its apogee. The drawings were supplied by Jesuit artists attached to the Emperor's court in Beijing. Upon completion they were shipped to France for engraving as the craft was unknown in China. After the Emperor was shown battle prints by the Augsburg artist Georg Philipp Rugendas 1666-1743 he wished to see his military conquests recorded in intaglio prints as well. He therefore ordered his Jesuit court painters Giuseppe Castiglione 1688-1766 called "Lang Shining" Jean Denis Attiret 1702-1768 "Wang Zhicheng" Ignaz Sichelbart 1708-1780 "Ai Qimeng" and Giovanni Damasceno Sallusti i.e. Joannes Damascenus a SS. Concepcione d. 1781 later bishop of Beijing called "An Deyi" to prepare sketches for the prints which they did in 1764 and 1765. Four of the drawings had been completed by the time of Castiglione's death when the decision was made to send the work to France via the ships of the Compagnie des Indes. According to the Emperor's decree no expense was to be spared. The first four drawings reached Paris in the autumn of 1766 and the remaining twelve in July 1767. The Marquis de Marigny director of the Academie Royale de Peinture et Sculpture decreed that the work should be carried out under the supervision of Charles-Nicholas Cochin 'fils' 1715-1790. As the French paper manufacturers did not have paper of the desired proportions the paper-merchant Prudhomme was ordered to make it to custom; the new size was called Grand Louvois. The copperplates were imported from England. Cochin chose Beauvais for the actual printing of the sheets on the grounds that he was "the only one who can be completely trusted both regarding his talents as well as his honesty which is well-known." The work proceeded slowly; standards of the highest quality were called for and some of the pictures especially the one by Sallusti needed careful editing. The original order was for 100 copies of each print but by 1768 this figure was increased to 200 copies so that at least 100 would survive the journey back to China ! -- however several authorities claim that many copies were lost at sea. In any event the final delivery was not shipped until 1775 occasioned in part by the difficulty the printers had producing a uniform series of prints from drawings by different artists. Three of the initial drawings were made by Attiret six by Damasceno one by Sichelbart and at least two by Castiglione; the remaining are unsigned but have been attributed to Castiglione by C. & M. Beurdeley and others. The engravers were L.J. Masquelier 1 J. Aliamet 2 J. Ph. Le Bas 5 A. St.-Aubin 2 F.D. Née 1 B.L. Prevost 2 P.P. Choffard 2 and N. de Launay 1. The Emperor's instructions stated that all the impressions were to be sent to him along with the original copper plates. However there is plentiful evidence that prints were pulled for the King of France and influential persons in Paris as well. Most of the surviving sets and individual prints appear to belong to this surreptitious group. The above series is not only a landmark in the history of Chinese and European art but also testifies to the direct artistic cooperation between China and Europe in the eighteenth century. It has been a common misconception that China was only interested in itself and detested the foreigners -- here the Emperor himself proved the contrary. VERY RARE IMPRESSIONS WITH CONTEMPORARY FRENCH HAND-COLOURING. The complete set of sixteen black and white engravings or a few individual prints from this set have come onto the market for sale only rarely. We can locate no other examples of any of the prints with contemporary colouring having been for sale or in public or private collections.

Each issue had a circulation of around 500 copies only the majority sent to customs stations and libraries as well as diplomats and naval officers and copies are therefore rare in commerce.

In 1870 Inspector-General Sir Robert Hart instituted this series information to be provided by the medical officers assigned to customs stations.

1930222401930. China family photograph album. 1930s-1960s. This album documents family life across major political transitions in twentieth-century China including the Republican period the years of Japanese occupation and the early decades of the People's Republic. The photographs record everyday experience across multiple regions showing movement between northern southern and northeastern cities as well as Hong Kong and provide visual evidence of how individuals and families navigated changing political and social conditions. The material is particularly strong in its geographic breadth with identified locations including Beijing Guangzhou Wuhan Dalian Jilin Shenyang Anshan Fushun and Hong Kong linking domestic life to major urban and industrial centers.<br /> <br /> Album containing 107 original black-and-white silver gelatin photographs mounted in a string-bound volume with individual prints ranging approximately from 1.25 x 1.5 to 4 x 6 inches. The photographs include studio portraits with painted backdrops from the 1930s family groupings of multiple generations and school portraits of children posed in uniform before institutional buildings. Clothing varies between Western-style suits and traditional garments such as qipao indicating shifts in dress across time and place. Urban scenes show streets promenades docks and architectural landmarks with some images bearing printed or written location identifications in Chinese. Several photographs depict travel aboard a passenger vessel suggesting movement between mainland cities and Hong Kong. Industrial environments and city signage appear in images associated with Shenyang and Fushun reflecting the presence of major industrial centers in northeastern China.<br /> <br /> The album spans decades marked by war occupation and state formation when cities such as Shenyang and Anshan developed as industrial hubs under Japanese control and later under the People's Republic while Hong Kong functioned as a site of movement and exchange. The combination of studio portraiture school imagery and travel scenes provides a continuous record of family life through these changes linking private experience to broader historical conditions. Light edge wear and toning to photographs with occasional spotting and minor marks to mounts; overall very good. A substantial visual record of Chinese family life across shifting political and geographic landscapes in the mid-twentieth century. unknown
