880171908 - 14. . 102 photographs size range from 8 x 6 cm to 11 x 16 cm including 2 with stamps of Lai Chong studio on reverse some inscribed in German; margins chipped some with creases several images faded. <br /> A collection of photographs recording German presence in China and Japan in the years 1908 1914. <br /><br />Decades before WWI Germany competed with other industrialised nations to acquire colonies and create "spheres of influence" in the non-European areas interfering in the Chinese domestic affairs. <br />In the wake that followed the murder of two German missionaries in 1898 Chinese government agreed to lease the territory of Tsingtao to Germany as a colony for the period of 99 years in order to appease the German government. Consequently the Germans began to assert their influence across the rest of the province of Shandong. They built the city and port of Tsingtao which became the base of the German Navy's East Asia Squadron that operated in support of German territories in the Pacific.<br /><br />When the WWI erupted in summer 1914 Japan issued an ultimatum ordering the German government to withdraw their warships from Chinese and Japanese waters and transfer control over Tsingtao to Japan. When the ultimatum expired Japan began a bombardment of the port on 2 September 1914. Britain wary of Japanese intentions in the region decided to send troops to assist the Japanese and to keep a watchful eye upon proceedings. The Germany garrison held out for over two months before finally surrendering on 7 November 1914 and handing over the port three days later. The surrender of Tsingtao marked the end of the Germans in China and was a great morale booster to the Japanese.<br /><br />Several photographs show SS Patricia a passenger liner built in 1899 in Germany for the Hamburg-America Packet Steamship Company. In 1914 during WWI she was chartered to the German Government who used it as a troop transport to Tsingtao.<br /> 1908 - 14. 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.

191027302Guangdong China 1910. Ephemera. Very good condition. Attractive Chinese firework labels with the manufacturers name 'Fat Shan Lai Wo Cheong' printed with a red rubber stamp on the verso of most. According to the description of a group of labels held by the MOA at the University of British Columbia they were made in Guangzhou Guandong and Canton China between 1850 and 1910. 17 elaborate foil and tissue or paper backed labels with colorful hand painted illustrations of men women and children flowers butterflies ranging in shapes and sizes 3x1.5" to 7.5x7.5" to 10.5 x 5". Detailed scenes of people dressed in robes with curtains and flowers surrounding them and interesting facial expressions. "Gold labels were handmade in workshops using assembly line techniques. Artisans first cut out the labels' overall shape from bronze or copper foil. Next they apply a thin rice paper backing to strengthen the foil. To texturize the foil the artisans used pointed tools to emboss designs. These sheets were pinned to a wall or table so that several painters could work on them. The backgrounds would be painted first followed by the details in the foreground using smaller brushes. During the last application even finer brushes were used for the facial features and calligraphy. Some shiny areas of the original bronze or copper foil were left exposed. It was also common to add a layer of gold leaf designs pressed out of hand-carved wooden blocks to further accentuate the design. Firecrackers were and are used to ward off evil spirits honor deities and to celebrate special occasions. Manufacturers and merchants would order bulk firecrackers pack them into wooden crates and decorate the crates with these labels to entice potential distributors and consumers."
