Shot number 76 is of 'Sun Yat Sen Funeral rehersal' sic at the Temple of Azure Clouds" which took place in 1925. <br /> <br /> Famous buildings include the Summer Palace Temple of Heaven Great Wall Altar of Heaven Forbidden City Sleeping Buddha Temple Cloud Tower Taoist Shrine Temple of Universe Summer Palace Marble Boat Pagoda Tientsin Dock the Great Wall etc. There are many street scenes with local people and merchants Tibetans at Lama Temple Pekin Donkey ready for shoeing Toy Peddlar sic with Gong Pekin old man and 2 bird cages Paint Shop Pekin camels Iceman Pekin Coal Carrier Defile near Wall Pekin Beggar Pekin Barber. <br /> <br /> "Unique among 20th-century Chinese leaders Sun is revered by both the Republic of China on Taiwan where he is officially the "Father of the Nation" as well as the People's Republic of China where he is officially the "Forerunner of the Revolution" for his instrumental role in the 1911 Revolution that successfully overthrew the Qing dynasty." wikipedia.<br /> <br /> One additional snapshot of a snowy American scene entitled 'Winter 1941-2" that was developed at the Westchester Photo Finishing Co. with Nutone process 4 1/8 x 5 1/8".

1973372076Theatrum Orbis Terrarum New York & Amsterdam 1973. Hardcover. Good Condition. Escalante is not known to have visited China. In the concluding section of his Discurso he clarifies that his primary role is that of a synthesizer.

Barros himself never traveled to Asia; however he had access to Chinese texts and a literate Chinese slave in his Lisbon office who could read and interpret them. Additionally Escalante conducted interviews with Portuguese merchants who had journeyed to the Chinese coast as well as some individuals from China who had arrived in Spain. Approximately 48 pages.

1800J76F1EWPWNYUChina 1800. In a modern gold-tooled dark green morocco clam shell box in contemporary style. Collection of 17 Chinese watercolours on Asian paper with chain lines including 3 of birds seated on a branch 3 of ensembles of fruit and flowers and 5 of fishes all ca. 30 x 37 .5 cm; 2 further watercolours each showing 2 branches of flowers and trees in a drawn oval border ca. 39 x 30 cm; and 4 watercolours of Chinese people posing with objects ca. 25 x 21 cm. Thirteen detailed Chinese watercolours of birds fruits flowers plants and fishes together with four portraits of Chinese people posing with a pipe lute flower and a handheld fan. The drawings in this album show the mixture of the Chinese and European styles that was popular in the market for export paintings in the first half of the 19th century: a combination of the Chinese approach to rendering with European aesthetics concerning light shadow and realism. As traditional in these paintings large areas of flat colour have been subtly shaded with very thin lines to draw the veins of the leaves fins of the fish and feathers of the birds. The production of these export paintings began earnestly in the 1820s and reached its height in the 1830s and 1840s especially after China's defeat in the First Opium War 1839-1842 opened the country to foreign trade. Photography was introduced in China in the 1840s and the market for export paintings declined after 1860.By the end of the 18th century Chinese painters in Hong Kong and Canton started producing paintings and drawings for European buyers. Although they were made for artistic and decorative purposes many European naturalists began collecting drawings to study Chinese plants and species. Most of the plants and animals would simply not survive the journey to Europe whereas dried specimens did not preserve the colour or shape of the flower. Most of the export paintings were ensembles of flowers and animals placed on a background. Imagination was more important than copying nature and the realistically painted flowers could have different colours or even be a composition of elements from different species. For that reason serious naturalists commissioned Chinese artists to paint according to the standards of European scientific illustration. With a few tiny spots and minor smudges but otherwise in very good condition. unknown
