Collection of photographs.
1908 - 14. . 102 photographs size range from 8 x 6 cm to 11 x 16 cm including 2 with stamps of Lai Chong studio on reverse some inscribed in German; margins chipped some with creases several images faded. <br /> A collection of photographs recording German presence in China and Japan in the years 1908 1914. <br /><br />Decades before WWI Germany competed with other industrialised nations to acquire colonies and create "spheres of influence" in the non-European areas interfering in the Chinese domestic affairs. <br />In the wake that followed the murder of two German missionaries in 1898 Chinese government agreed to lease the territory of Tsingtao to Germany as a colony for the period of 99 years in order to appease the German government. Consequently the Germans began to assert their influence across the rest of the province of Shandong. They built the city and port of Tsingtao which became the base of the German Navy's East Asia Squadron that operated in support of German territories in the Pacific.<br /><br />When the WWI erupted in summer 1914 Japan issued an ultimatum ordering the German government to withdraw their warships from Chinese and Japanese waters and transfer control over Tsingtao to Japan. When the ultimatum expired Japan began a bombardment of the port on 2 September 1914. Britain wary of Japanese intentions in the region decided to send troops to assist the Japanese and to keep a watchful eye upon proceedings. The Germany garrison held out for over two months before finally surrendering on 7 November 1914 and handing over the port three days later. The surrender of Tsingtao marked the end of the Germans in China and was a great morale booster to the Japanese.<br /><br />Several photographs show SS Patricia a passenger liner built in 1899 in Germany for the Hamburg-America Packet Steamship Company. In 1914 during WWI she was chartered to the German Government who used it as a troop transport to Tsingtao.<br /> 1908 - 14. unknown

First edition presentation set of this massive first installment in the Geological Survey of Southeast Asia begun in 1908 documenting the biostratigraphy of the Yunnan Region which was awarded the Tchihatchef Prize of the French Academy of Sciences. Much of this survey work was done during the building of the Hanoi to Yunnan-fou Kunming railroad which was built by the French to exploit the tremendous mineral wealth of Yunnan. The Director of the Department of Natural Resources for France in Vietnam was Honore Lantenois 1863-1940 who worked for years with Henri Mansuy 1857-1937 and sent him back to France several times to study palaeontology at the School of Natural Resources Ecole des Mines. Lantenois recruited Jacques Deprat 1880-1935 in 1908 -- at the time a brilliant palaeontologist -- to conduct an ambitious program mapping the geology of Indochina and neighboring areas. All three men became involved in the notorious Deprat Affair which resulted in Mansuy accusing Deprat to Lantenois in 1917 that Deprat had used a few European-sources trilobites among his fossil specimens from Indochina and Yunnan. This accusation rested on the distinction that the suspect trilobites were not just similar in nature to others found in Europe but the matrix they were embedded may have originated from Europe. Although nearly 90 years later it would be determined that the trilobite fauna discovered by Deprat indicated that the Yunnan had occupied a location adjacent to Bohemia originally in the early Palaeozoic period; the French scientific community condemned Deprat at the time stripped him of his degrees and posts and forced him to leave the field. A complete set including the Atlas is quite scarce.
