He wear the typical Mandarin's hat of red and pink with a green feather. His shoes are the typical black cloth top with white felt soles. The both look at each other. A typical Mandarin scene. . LAM-QUA & TING-QUA SCHOOLS: The works are done in the Canton style of Lam-Qua and his brother Ting-qua. See item #2 below for a link. . Ting-qua born ca. 1809; flourished 1840-70. He was the brother of Lam-Qua 1801-1860 and probably a close relation of Spoilum. Ting-qua's studio at 16 China Street Guangzhou was perhaps the most prolific source of Chinese export paintings of its time. Working in a manner influenced by Western artistic traditions Ting-qua and the painters of his studio restricted themselves to gouache and water-colors perhaps to avoid rivalry with Lam-qua's oil paintings. Their pictures which were often sold in sets." Quoted from item #2 below. . PITH PAPER: The paintings were done on pith paper. "Pith paper or rice paper a misnomer as it is sometimes known is made from the inner pith of the plant Tetrapanex papyrifera which is a member of the Araliaceae family. The plant is a shrub native to Southern China and Taiwan. As well as a painting material pith paper was used to make artificial flowers and surgical dressings." Cited from item #1 below. . THE LEGAL SYSTEM OF CHINA IN EARLY 19TH CENTURY: Justice was swift and usually done to make an example of the accused. If the accused pleaded guilty and confessed his punishment was lessoned. If he persisted in innocence even though he was not guilty his punishment was more severe. Showing a cooperative attitude was of advantage. Nearly all people accused of a crime were assumed to be guilty. The punishment for various crimes were commonly known and justice was meted out by the magistrate. . RARITY: Gouache pith paintings are now rare most were damaged cracked and brittle rendering them useless. The few that survived are considered RARE and uncommon. The paintings were drawn with much skill and patience and were for the most part drawn for and sold to foreigners in the treaty ports of China in the early 19th century. Drawn with a fine brush in vivid colors the paintings depicted things that would fascinate foreigners and encourage them to bring home as souvenirs. The current examples often caught the eye of foreigners who may have actually seen some form of public punishment or execution. . CONDITION: The work is remarkable clean and solid. There are no damage to the paintings visible from the glazed side the back has not been opened but the images look very clean solid with none of the usual cracking or other damage often found on these kinds of early paintings. The frame is clean solid and ready for library or display. . THE FRAMING AND MOUNTING: The pair of painting have been western-style gold-matted framed in brown wood and glazed. The over all size of the frame is 25.5 x 17.5 cm. The verso or back has brown paper glued to all edges and two tiny holes in the back where eyelets were probably screwed in to hold the hanging wire not present. .

1418WB14083New York: Collins and Co. / W. Treadwell 1814-1821. Ephemera. Very Good. A small collection 8 folding pamphlets and a loosely stitched booklet relating to the Free School Society of New York launched in 1805 to provide a primary education to children who either could not attend school during the week whose parents were too poor to afford the private schools run by individual teachers and/or whose parents were not affiliated with the religious charity schools that comprised the bulk of New York City's educational system. Begun on donations and as a subscription-based service the schools did not establish a secure footing until about 1814 right when this collection starts and their growth continued in the subsequent decades as this collection shows. It includes: consecutive Annual Reports from 1814-1821 the ninth to the sixteenth annual folding pamphlets printed where specified by Collins and Co. or Samuel Wood & Sons listing locations teacher and trustee names the progress of the curriculum and a treasurer's report. Sold with "By-Laws of the Free School Society of New-York as Revised and Adopted by the Trustees 12th Month December 1818" printed by W. Treadwell 1819. Three loosely-stitched gatherings pp. 24 unopened and untrimmed in plain wraps. Wrinkled along the edges but nice wide margins and text is unscathed. <br/><br/>"In early nineteenth-century New York City free primary education was largely the province of church-run charity schools. For families of means there was also the option of private schools maintained by individual teachers. While these two poles covered most of the citys children some worried that certain poor youngsters were falling through the cracks. Thus in 1805 a group of residents led by Mayor DeWitt Clinton formed the New York Free School Society to establish schools open to all at no charge. The Society aimed both to educate and to inculcate the sublime truths of religion and morality contained in the Holy Scriptures in an ecumenical way. The New York legislature incorporated the group but did not provide funding so the Society depended on subscriptions by individual members. Mayor Clinton provided an inaugural gift of $200 but most donations did not exceed $25. In this way the society raised $6501 in its initial year and opened its first Free School. Gifts from Colonel Henry Rutgers a member of the State Board of Regents allowed a second school to open. In exchange for educating the children of the city almshouse the group was given another building and money for its repair. By 1814 the combination of private philanthropy and public cooperation sustained almost 800 students in free schools established by the society and the growth continued in subsequent decades" from Philanthropy Roundtable.

19277626Winnipeg Manitoba: Bauslaugh Photos 408 Main St. Winnipeg 1927. Original Photograph. Original silver gelatin photograph panoramic format measuring 16.75 x 7.5. Bears a white inscription in the negative: "CONFEDERATION JUBILEE GORDON BELL SCHOOL PAGEANT 1867-1927" to the bottom-centre and the name photographer's studio "Bauslaugh Photos 408 Main St. Winnipeg" to the right margin. <br /> <br />An utterly charming panoramic photograph capturing the full cast of a large-scale historical pageant held at Winnipeg's Gordon Bell School organized to celebrate Canada's 1927 Diamond Jubilee. The 60th anniversary of Confederation was a massive national event and patriotic school pageants such as the one pictured were a primary method of relating Canadian history civics and the era's concept of national identity. <br /> <br />The cast of students is arranged as a "living map" of Canada's diverse identities. Pictured at the centre are a row of young women in white dresses each personifying the provinces individually holding a shield with their respective coat of arms. The shields for Manitoba buffalo Saskatchewan wheat sheaves Alberta St. George's Cross over mountains and British Columbia Union Jack over a setting sun are clearly visible. Other central figures are dressed as "Britannia" or "Miss Canada" holding the Union Jack symbolizing the young nation's dual loyalties to both Canada and the British Empire. <br /> <br />Surrounding the central figures is a charming and diverse cast of students representing the many peoples comprising the nation. This includes students in Scottish kilts traditional Ukrainian and Polish embroidered shirts and floral headdresses and a young girl dressed in Indigenous regalia portrayed in a typical pageant-style. Other students are dressed as early settlers pioneers and historical figures creating a complete and idealized vision of the nation's multicultural identity. <br /> <br />The photograph was taken by Bauslaugh Photos of Winnipeg located at 408 Main Street very likely related to Bauslaugh & Taylor also of Winnipeg and active in the city between 1911-1915. An invaluable and lovely visual record of 1920's Winnipeg and Canada. Unrecorded in OCLC. Not found in Peel BAC/LAC UoM Archives & Special Collections et al. <br /> <br />Exceptionally well-preserved: the silver gelatin photograph retains strong detail and contrast. There is a short horizontal crease to the right margin extending slightly into the image area. Otherwise the photograph remains without flaws. The inscriptions in the negative remain equally clear and legible. Near fine. <br/><br/> Bauslaugh Photos (408 Main St.), Winnipeg unknown
