10 parts in 3 vols., roy. 8vo., First Edition, text in English, with very numerous chromolithographed and tinted plates (original tissue guards present where called for), many large folding maps on japon, and some hundreds of monochrome photographs (a number full-page), and maps in the text; original salmon cloth, backs lettered and tooled in gilt, red sprinkled edges, ORIGINAL WRAPPERS PRESERVED, expertly rebacked with old backstrips laid down, a remarkably bright, clean set. This magnificent record of one of the earliest major international conflicts of the twentieth century is remarkable on several counts. In essence an early partwork, it was compiled and issued whilst the war was still in progress, enabling its readers to follow the course and consequences of the fighting in a manner previously unparalleled. Certainly it is unique is the comprehensiveness and detail of its coverage, and in the variety and extent of its illustrations, the two together constituting a truly massive documentary resource. COMPLETE SETS OF THIS NOTABLE WORK ARE RARE, THE MORE SO IN ORIGINAL CLOTH IN THIS CONDITION. Wenckstern II,140.

Fair French Modern full brown leather, gilt lettering of title on front board. Heavily water stained, and some chippings on extremities of some pages. A fair copy. 4to. (27 x 20 cm). In French. 63 p. The very rare autographed copy of this lecture given in Lebanon on January 20, 1937, at the Youth Center, by Ostrorog after his serving in China as Assistant High Commissioner, a French diplomat from a noble Polish family, who had served as Assistant High Commissioner in China and Syria in the 1930s. Signed and inscribed by Ostrorog as "Par Mahid, Avec autre au mille amitié, Damas, 1938". On the eve of the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945) between the Chinese and the Empire of Japan which is often regarded as the beginning of World War II in Asia, French ex-Assistant High Commissioner in China Ostrorog gave a lecture about Chinese power and policy. Some titles from book: "La Chine.; Le monde au temps de Confucius.; Humanisme Confuceen.; Opposition de l'humanisme Chinois a la morale idealiste de l'occident.; Facteur grammatical.; Universalite des caracteres.; Facteur geographique.; Facteur moral.; La republique des philosophes.; Reaction de Huang Ti au 3me siecle avant notre ere.; Evolution historique dans le cadre de l'unite.; Isolement.; Arrivee des Europeens au XVIme siecle les marchands et les missionnaires.; La querelle des rites condamnation des Jesuites.; Eclat du couchant Kien Lung.; Lettre de Kien Lung a Georges III.; Guerre de l'Opium.; Qeuvre des missions en Chine.; Tseu-hi et Abdul-Hamid.; Le Japon.; Propagande de Moscou.; Succes du mouvement nationaliste.; Intervention Japonaise en Mandchourie.; L'Unite Chinoise menacee.; La Grande pitie.; L'avenir de la Chine.". From the last chapter: "In our contract, the Chinese until now have taken only the faults and vices of Western civilizations. There is, however, something else to choose from and perhaps the time is near when the Chinese will understand it. Whether they are few in number, fifty, forty, ten, or five only, that will suffice. And on that day, with the power of assimilation which has always characterized it, China will integrate, in a way, all the foreign contributions of a moral or cultural order, to rebuild its unity, to resume the continuity of his story, and rediscover his genius." Only two copies in OCLC: 42804470. Signed and inscribed by Stanislas Ostrorog.

1940234221940. Chinese prisoner execution photo archive from Japanese-occupied Manchuria circa 1940s recording the custody restraint killing and aftermath of Chinese prisoners under Japanese military control. Japan's occupation of Manchuria followed the Mukden Incident of September 18 1931 when Japanese forces used an explosion along the South Manchurian Railway as the pretext for military conquest; in 1932 Japan established Manchukuo a puppet state that drew international condemnation through the League of Nations' Lytton Commission. By the 1940s Manchuria remained a central zone of Japanese military power in northeast China where occupation authority puppet-state policing and anti-guerrilla campaigns produced summary punishments prisoner shootings and public terror against local Chinese populations.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 7 silver gelatin photographs each 4" x 6.5" Manchuria circa 1940s. Japanese soldiers in field uniforms and peaked caps surround blindfolded Chinese captives seated in open ground near an earthen bank; in one scene soldiers level rifles toward bound or blindfolded prisoners at close range. Several men lie face down or on their sides at the base of the embankment with soldiers and civilian onlookers standing above them; plain wooden boxes or planks sit nearby suggesting prepared burial or removal. Another scene records a prisoner being physically restrained in a courtyard or village setting with tiled rooflines uniformed soldiers and civilian men crowded around him. The sequence moves between armed custody execution ground bodies on the earth and prisoner handling under guard giving the group a direct evidentiary relationship to Japanese military violence in occupied Manchuria.<br /> <br /> Manchuria was not a peripheral theater in Japan's war in China; it was the region where the Kwantung Army transformed a railway-security pretext into territorial occupation state building under Manchukuo and a long-running military presence that helped bring international crisis in the 1930s and full-scale war in Asia. The scenes preserved here are not battlefront combat views but close-range records of prisoners controlled by armed soldiers making the archive especially significant for the study of occupation violence Japanese military practice wartime China and the fate of Chinese civilians or irregular fighters labeled enemies under Japanese authority. Light edge wear and minor fading to some areas; images remain primarily clean; overall very good condition. The archive preserves a compact but stark record of military force in Japanese-occupied Manchuria grounded in the physical proximity between guards prisoners rifles and bodies. unknown
