AMERICAN "DOUGH BOYS" IN CHINA 1927 . . . DURING THE FIRST REVOLUTIONARY WAR . . THE FOUNDING OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY This excellent primary record was begun July 1904 and ended with the last photo caption dated June-August 1906. The work is an exceptionally clean example with meticulous captions clear and bright images of varying sizes. The smallest is 6 x 4.5 cm. ca 10 each up to 23.5 x 17 cm. for the largest. With a large number of intermediary sizes in between. . The captions are in both English & Italian and a mix of both languages carefully identifying the place & person photographed. From the kind of photographs and people in these its is easy to deduce that this album was likely made by an Italian officer assigned as part of the protective foreign force for the Italian Embassy and diplomatic corps as guards. Assigned to China to continue to protect after the Boxer uprising they protected both the foreign diplomatic community and their families. A good number of these are of Peking and of their excursions around China. . Visits to Shan-Fan-Shan temple photos of a friend who was in Seoul Korea riding a rickshaw photos of some American military officers: ie "Lieut. Clark & Capt. Brewster Commandant of the Peking U.S. Delegation guard Lieutenant. Clark" et al. Polo on the Peking Polo grounds Pei-Tai-ho beach one lovely one of "Casa di mia Isabella; next obviously a photo of the album's maker and Italian who freely associated freely with his American counterparts in the military & diplomatic corps. .

Then a lovely and grand size group photo some in military uniform others in civilian clothes diplomats most with long boots dated "March 1905" most with Italian names except for one penciled at the far right: "Swanton" and two women. Names appear above and below the photo which is 23.5 x 17 cm.

Next pair of pages show a "September 1905 Trip to the Great Wall with Mrs. Brewster & Miss Brewster at Sha-ho Chinese hotel Nan-ko Pass Mrs. David at Peitai-ho" and along the way to the Great wall with stunning photos of the impressive and grand size "First Gate."

Then a larger and quite stunning photo of Italian Naval officers.and Americans: "Mrs. Brewster Commandant Cipriani Miss Brewster Guardia della Degarione d'Italia.Capitano BrewsterAmerican." all seated before a great Fu Dog for a camera pose. . The album continues then a rather sad photo of the "Portion of the remains of the French Catholic Mission residence of La Varche & Ma-murdered Nan Chang March 1906" & "Kinghams chapel in background.burnt house is right around March 1906." Adjacent to this is "Ring leader of attack on Kingham's house Han Chang March 1906." .

Next shows "Four men who conducted murder torture having taken part in the murder of the Kinghams and burning of their mission March 1906" shows four Chinese handcuffed to a steel ring around their necks.
