18607334Chicago: Cameron Amberg & Co. Printers; and Shober & Carqueville Lithographers 1860. Trade card 13 x 7.5 cm. printed both sides the verso in chromolithography depicting the interior of a dining car with tables set in anticipation of the passengers' meals. Text on the recto reads "These Dining and Restaurant Cars run on the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railroad between Chicago and Omaha are in all respects the most luxurious traveling conveniences on the American continent. A bottle of fine French wine is served for an additional fifteen cents with an Extra Fine Meal for which only seventy-five cents is charged. Passengers will bear in mind that these are not the commonly-called Hotel Cars with their attendant high prices and bed-room odors. Our Dining Cars are used for no other purpose. All meals on Overland Trains are served in them. A. Smith Sup't Dining Car Line." The company became the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railroad in 1866 the company changed names frequently. In the mid-1870s the company established its Chicago-Omaha route. As such this card likely dates between the mid-1860s and mid-1870s. The railroad became known for introducing the first "elegant" dining cars to passenger trains and the lithograph on this trade card by Shober & Carqueville Lithographers of Chicago exudes elegance indeed. No tears folds or bends; slight glue residue on back. Cameron, Amberg & Co., Printers; [and] Shober & Carqueville Lithographers unknown books
1884173626Shanghai: Printed at the "Celestial Empire" office 1884. China is like a large pie. For many years covetous nations have been nibbling at the edge of the crust First edition of this eyewitness account of clashes between French and Chinese naval forces following the collapse of the Li-Fournier Agreement. Two tables show detail each side's ships and their specifications as well as the damage they sustained. The Tonkin War developed out of a tussle between France and China for influence in Vietnam. Following a number of engagements diplomatic exchanges between Li Hongzhang and Captain Ernest François Fournier produced a tentative agreement that China would withdraw from Tonkin and legally recognize a French protectorate. Negotiations however eventually broke down and the French launched an attack on Fuzhou on 23 August 1884. Foreign military observers including the two American authors of this report saw the engagement as a chance to evaluate the success of recent Chinese attempts to modernize the imperial navy. For the Qing empire the Battle of Fuzhou was a disaster the French fleet eight ships outgunning its eleven vessels all of which were eventually sunk. The defeat "paved the way for the dynasty's downfall" Po p. 206. The eight plates are after sketches made during the battle and show several Chinese ships before and after they were sunk.
