[United States Army Advisory Group]/Singer, Gyula (illustrator)
Magic Welcome to China Cover title
Nanking China: Engineer Section Army Advisory Group 1947. Good. 9½" x 6¾". Illustrated thin card wrappers. Pp. 5 88 1. Good: lacking the map; wrappers heavily soiled and worn with some loss to edges and spine; internally very good with light toning at extremities.<br /> <br /> This is a heavily illustrated guidebook to China produced for the wives and families of American soldiers. The first section provided a "Greeting" and backdrop of information:<br /> <br /> "This small booklet is intended to give you an insight into China from the point of view of an American Army or Navy family. Your husband may be stationed in Shanghai Nanking Hankow Hangchow Tsingtao or Peiping. We have tried to tell you a little about each of these places: where you will live what kind of a home you may expect to find awaiting you and what there is to do and see."<br /> <br /> At the time of publication the United States Army Advisory Group was stationed in Nanking the Nationalist capital. Americans stayed on in China post-World War II through 1949 after Congress passed the Economic Cooperation Act of 1948 to administer the European Recovery Program. We know this program better as the Marshall Plan; the same legislation included $460 million in military and economic aid to China.<br /> <br /> The bulk of the book was dedicated to Shanghai as the authors expected that "you will all want to go there from your home station to shop in its fabulous stores and to enjoy a little of its cosmopolitan atmosphere." Readers were assured that once they "forget the filth in the streets the crowds and all of the peculiarities which will at first probably surprise and shock you Shanghai will grow on you - that is its biggest asset."<br /> <br /> Several pages provided information on Shanghai including tips on shopping hotels theaters and restaurants and "a doctor's advice for your health." A section on places of worship interestingly included Jewish temples and there's also a brief history of the city. The book also devoted five- to ten-page sections respectively on the cities of Nanking Peiping Hankow Hangchow Chengtu and Tsingtao.<br /> <br /> The book boasts a beautifully colored front wrapper along with 58 illustrations and 38 photographic images. The illustrations were by Gyula Singer a Jewish artist who according to an oral history escaped the Nazi occupation of Austria by moving to Shanghai. He later relocated to New York where he ran a commercial design business with a specialty in theater backdrops.<br /> <br /> OCLC shows five copies over two entries.

DES BARRES, Joseph Frederick Wallet [1721-1824] [Army officer, military engineer, surveyor, First Lieutenant Governor of Cape Br
Manuscript document in secretarial hand unsigned dated Prince Edward Island Government House July 28 1812.
Charlottetown: 1812. A distinguished military engineer DesBarres served in the British Army in North America during the Seven Years' War and participated in the capture of Louisbourg in 1758 and of Quebec in 1759. General James Wolfe used a chart which he prepared of the St. Lawrence River and approaches to Quebec in his assault on the city. From 1763 to 1773 DesBarres surveyed and charted the Atlantic coast from Newfoundland to New York which resulted in the publication in 1777 of the Atlantic Neptune a four-volume atlas “which stands as a landmark in Canadian cartographic achievement†R.J.Morgan DCB VI pp. 196 and is considered to be the most important atlas of North America published in the eighteenth century. He went on to become the first Lieutenant Governor of Cape Breton 1784-87 the founder of Sydney and the Lieutenant Governor of Prince Edward Island 1804-12. He faced considerable opposition to his administration in both colonies and with the home government and in each instance was recalled to England. The present document is dated just one month before his recall from Prince Edward Island in August of 1812. In it DesBarres reprimands the Grand Jury for overstepping the bounds of their authority although he says he is willing to attribute their statements to “good intentions in an infant colony language which under other circumstances might be very differently received.â€. one-page folio. horizontal folds several tears with no loss of text. matted & framed size of frame: 21.75 x 16 inches; 55.2 x 40.6 cm. elala5919 [Charlottetown]: 1812 unknown
