1898178920China Japan and at sea: 1898-99; 1911-13. The "scramble for China" An important visual record of Germany's empire-building in China and naval life in East Asia before the First World War including early views of Qingdao. It was assembled by Hermann Mörsberger a future rear-admiral who served at Kiautschou Bay during the 1897-8 crisis and commanded the East Asia Squadron's SMS Nürnberg between 1911 and 1913. The murder of two missionaries in Shandong in 1897 offered Germany an excuse to deploy troops to Kiautschou Bay and press its case for a concessionary area - and strategically positioned port - on Chinese soil. Attached to the Matrosenartillerie-Detachement Kiautschou as a leutnant zur see Mörsberger 1872-1940 shipped out to China in late 1897 on the screw steamer Darmstadt. The ship's arrival off Qingdao in January 1898 and the rapid deployment of its marines confirmed Germany's de facto control of the territory and left the Qing government with little option but to grant a concession. The first album opens with a photograph of Darmstadt and superb photographs of the cruiser SMS Kaiserin Augusta - ordered to China to brandish its dozen guns - and other powerhouses of the squadron including Cormoran Irene and Prinzess Wilhelm. Images show the parade on 27 January 1898 to welcome the future governor Rear-Admiral Ernst Otto von Diederichs 1843-1918 and Qingdao's artillery dump and yamen. Missionaries were hot on the navy's heels the album containing a group portrait of Joseph Freinademetz and other visiting Catholic missionaries in February 1898 as well as several pieces of red paper with their Chinese and Western signatures. After the legal takeover of the concession Mörsberger transferred to Kaiserin Augusta visiting Shanghai Hong Kong and Tokyo. More standard tourist views of Shanghai including a nicely composed image of a junk moored in the river are arranged alongside photographs of the unveiling of the city's ltis Monument on 21 November 1898. In a more relaxed moment Mörsberger poses playfully with other junior officers. German power did not take long to bed in. Within a decade and a half Mörsberger - now a fregattenkapitän - returned to Qingdao with Nürnberg a Königsberg-class light cruiser and the squadron's newest member. A panorama shows the armoured cruiser SMS Scharnhorst the flagship of squadron commander Count Maximilian von Spee docked in newly built facilities the recently christened Prince Heinrich Hill in the background. Nürnberg moves between ports as part of its Yangtze patrol duties Mörsberger obtaining panoramas taken from the river of Shanghai Zhenjiang Jiujiang Nanjing and Hankou as well as shots of other squadron vessels. Alongside official events including the welcoming of official dignitaries and the parade to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Kaiser's coronation there is time for tourism parties and an international rowing contest. Four unusual photographs capture the illuminated buildings of Shanghai at night. A small proportion of material concerns Japan Thailand Honolulu and Mexico. Many of the professionally executed photographs concerning China were clearly circulated only within the German military and in small numbers. 2 albums landscape folio.

1822188322Various cities and architects: c.1918-22. Building Republican China An appealing collection highlighting the role of foreign finance and architectural expertise in the modernization of Republican China's major commercial centres. The blueprints show business premises Western-style houses and apartments and a theatre. Seven were issued by the architectural firm of Henry Charrey and Marcel Conversy. Based in Jinan the firm was employed from 1918 by the Belgian-French company Crédit Foncier d'Extrême-Orient which financed and oversaw construction in Beijing Shanghai Tianjin and other cities with a foreign presence. In Jinan Charrey & Conversy were involved in the laying out of a new post office compound and designing Western-style houses. Also present are blueprints for offices for the Danish outfit Andersen Meyer & Co. which arrived in the city in 1916 and a hong for the Asiatic Petroleum Company. A second group relates to the Tianjin civil engineers Brossard Mopin & Co. Founded in 1910 it specialized in buildings made with reinforced concrete. A large plan shows the imposing front face of a proposed building for the Gongxian Arsenal one of China's main manufacturers of weaponry and ammunition. In Tianjin Brossard Mopin also contracted for apartments and a new theatre and clubhouse for the China Theatre Company the floorplans here accompanied by textual overviews of the projects. Accompanying these two groups are a 1919 plan of Tsinghua University Beijing and seven blueprints for houses in a "Peking model residential centre" which was proposed by the city authorities in the early 1920s. This collection belonged to the engineer G. Gregoire who worked for the Crédit Foncier d'Extrême-Orient in partnership with both Charrey & Conversy and Brossard-Mopin & Co. His signature as the lead architect appears in the seven Charrey & Conversy blueprints and his ink stamp is on nearly all of the material suggesting his involvement in the wide range of projects. 21 blueprints 217 x 255 mm to 625 x 1130 mm; 2 project booklets in French each 6 pp. duplicate typescript and typescript cover sheet fixed with 3 butterfly clips. Various ink stamps numbers and annotations on booklets and verso of blueprints.
