‎Small Archive of Documents Relating to the Powder River Cattle Company in Wyoming‎

‎London 1887. Very good plus. Three printed documents varying sizes 14pp. total. Light wear along folds. Light tanning. One document in a red cloth folding case. An interesting group of three printed documents concerning the Powder River Cattle Company in Wyoming. The manager of the company Morton Frewen was the scion of Anglo-English gentry and came to the Wyoming Territory in 1878 to seek his fortune establishing one of the larger cattle concerns on the Northern Great Plains in what is now northeastern Wyoming with additional holdings in Alberta. In 1882 the company was reorganized as the joint-stock Powder River Cattle Company Ltd. with an English board of directors and investors. Frewen served as manager until 1886 when controversy ensued with charges of false statements of losses due to overstocked pastures and harsh winter. The present group includes Frewen's report to the first annual meeting of the company as well a defense in an 1886 lawsuit between Frewen and the directors of Powder River and an 1887 profit-and-loss statement composed by the company's liquidator. In full they are as follows: <br /><br />1 The Powder River Cattle Company Limited Report of the General Manager. at the first Annual General Meeting Held February 26th 1884. London: 1884. 4pp. <br /><br />2 In the High Court of Justice. Between Morton Frewen. Plaintiff and The Powder River Cattle Company Limited. Defendants.

‎YANGTSE RIVER‎

‎Album of photographs taken while cruising with the river steamer Wenchow.‎

‎Jiujiang China: 1938-39. The aftermath of the Battle of Wuhan An appealing group of photographs the unnamed photographer perhaps an oil consultant sent upriver to Jiujiang to evaluate the impact of the Battle of Wuhan a four-month engagement that saw one million Chinese troops defend five provinces. Japanese troops took Jiujiang in summer 1938 and killed almost 100000 civilians. According to the accompanying booklet of captions the images were taken between December 1938 and May 1939 while travelling with Wenchow a steamer built in 1923 for the China Navigation Company. The ship travelled under the protection of HMS Ladybird a British gunboat with experience of clashing with the Japanese on the Yangtze. The images are far more varied than typical travel albums documenting the impact of Japanese aggression. Four show members of the crew dealing with a Chinese mine in the river. After attempts to blow it up with gunfire fail they try TNT. "We didn't get a big bang because it was found to be water-logged and therefore a dud." Other photographs picture one of the many unexploded Japanese destroyer shells encountered during the cruise and ongoing minesweeping activities. Elsewhere they encounter houses destroyed by the Japanese advance. The Jiujiang oil installation of the Asiatic Petroleum Company is visible in the distance of the third image. Heading to the installation they see the village that sprang up around the installation as Chinese residents fled the Japanese advance. The Japanese are suspicious of guerilla attacks and order the village dismantled. "They also accused us of being spies and receiving information about the conditions in Kuling and that wasn't a bad guess either." Wenchow offers refuge to 400 refugees. As a foreigner he can still find escape from the local suffering documenting the sights and sounds of his journey and exploits with foreign friends. On leaving Jiujiang for Shanghai he is seen off "with the usual firecrackers on the end of a bamboo pole. Thought once or twice they were a bit nearer to the seat of my pants than was necessary. However there was nothing singed." But the voyage back to Shanghai is made not by steamer but by gunboat. Landscape quarto album 200 x 260 mm. Original black and silver textured paper 8 card leaves with window mounts on both sides holding 79 gelatin silver amateur snapshots c. 55 x 80 mm or reverse one photograph now lacking. Each image numbered below in pencil corresponding to 16-page booklet of typed captions secured with metal pins and loosely inserted. Album with some wear and rubbing inner hinges sometime strengthened with paper photographs generally bright and well preserved occasional silver mirroring and fading: a very good collection. unknown‎

‎YANGTSE RIVER‎

‎Ninth Annual Report of the Survey Office 1930.‎

‎Nanjing: Yangtse River Commission 1933. Richly illustrated with 130 elevations statistical graphs and plans First edition first printing of this report published in the wake of the devastating 1931 Yangtse floods. In 1930 the Yangtse River Commission focused on hydrological engineering and regulating the channel with surveys conducted at ten of the river's eleven bars. We have traced a single institutional copy of this detailed report held by the Chinese Academy of Sciences Natural Science Library. In keeping with the commission's Chinese and expatriate membership the same information is presented in both English and Chinese. This copy is bound without pages 39-44 of the Chinese-language portion with the corresponding data and text appearing on pages 26-31 of the English section. The bilingual plates employ both English and Chinese. While the English title page dates the report to 1931 this is more accurately a reference to when the text and data were compiled. Quarto 255 x 185 mm. With 130 plates tables in text. Text in English and Chinese. Near-contemporary brown card post-binder purple linen backstrip part of original front wrapper laid down on front cover rear wrapper bound in. Chinese-language section missing pages 39-44. Post-binder worn but still sturdy chipping to first leaf and rear wrapper text generally fresh. A very good copy. unknown‎

‎China n.d. ca 1900.A group of nineteen sepia-toned original photographs each about 15.5 x 11 cm. many with captions or titles in ink some have corner numbers in the negative all very clean bright clear strong images. VERY RARE SET ! . . . AN EARLY COLLECTION OF SEPIA-TONED ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPHS . . . SHOWING THE CHIANG-JIANG YANGTSE RIVER & ENVIRONS . . This is a lovely early collection of genuine and original photographs of the Yangtze River and the gorges. . The English speaking foreigner who took these photographs put titles and captions on many. It begins with a voyage up the Yangtze River with the first date on December 16 1900 and continuing photographs through December 19 23-25th. . Each photo is mounted on a card likely extracted from an old photo album some cards have two images one on each side. . Captions are: 1. 2 Photos: "December 16th S.S. Kiang Ho arrived at Ichang arrived Ichang December 19th." and the verso: "H.M.S. Kinsha at Ichang." The 2nd image looks like a postcard or something other than a matching glossy photo the size is 14 x 8 cm. with hand written caption. . 2. 2 Photo views of "Shin Tan" anchorage & rapids . 3. 2 Photos: "December 24th Tung Ding Gorge" & "Christmas Day" 1900 "Shin Tan rapids." . 4. 1 Photo: "UP THE YANGTSE' . 5. 2 Photos: "THE FIRST GORGE" with '664' hand written on the negative. And verso blank no caption shows rocky mountain shore line. . 6. 2 Photos: "December 23rd the Padunzai Rapid" shows several junks & boats at anchorage with people looking on. Verso shows "December 23 rd" other small vessels and boat haulers along the shore. This second photo has a touch of fading at the center upper portion could be sunlight over exposure balance no issues. . 7. 2 Photos: "Tung Ding Rapid" shows river going large vessel with oars. Verso shows mountainous shore line with river junk. . 8. 2 Photos: No captions on either. First shows the river with three boats and steep shore line mountains. Verso shows large rock formation on diagonal entering the river. . 9. 2 Photos: First no caption but has hand written negative number '574' showing a tall pagoda on diagonal rock formation entering the river "Pa Ling" lightly written in lower right pencil.

Kinsha at Ichang a lovely steam paddle wheeler. First gorge Up the Yangtze trekking up Shin Tau Shin Tau Rapid Tung Ling Rapid & Gorge Padunzai Rapid &c. . SIZE Each photo is 15.4 x 10.8 cm. varying to about 15 x 11 cm. and slight other variant sizes similar to above. . Board sizes vary even though the photos are about standard size. Ranging from largest: 25.2 x 20.8 cm. smallest: 19.3 x 26.4 cm. . Color photos are posted to our website. . CONDITION: These are original glossy photographs each gently laid down some edges not fastened firmly a couple of loose or folds on edges. All clean vivid good focus no obvious fading a couple of the usual and typical less than perfect 'development' spots. By and large an excellent group of photographs developed most likely in China a souvenir of a foreign person's trip 1900down the river. Far and above the average photograph quality of this early period. . RARITY: Original early dated photos of the Yangtze river are RARE and seldom found during this period. Even rarer are photographs with captions and dates. Nicely done fascinating work. . . unknown‎
