[HONG KONG - ANTIQUE PRINT]
Gymkhana races of the HongKong Polo Club - the Fai-Tee Stakes caption title
London.: The Graphic. March 151890. Engraving 15.1 x 22.6 cm plus caption on a trimmed newspaper leaf slightly toned the images in very good condition. Engraving redolent of colonial Hong Kong from a sketch by an engineer of the China Squadron Charles E. Eldred the Hong Kong Almanack for 1891 lists him as being aboard the British vessel Victor Emmanuel. The Hong Kong Polo Club also had strong military ties as the original commentary attests below the Secretary of the Club was a Staff Major Fletcher of the Royal Artillery. <br> <br>"This meeting took place on November 28th having been post poned on account of bad weather. The Chinese coolies were much interested in the bagpipes of the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders probably because to their ears the sound bears a very close resemblance to that produced by a common Chinese instrument something like a flageolet. Within the enclosure almost the only people not English were the Chinese chair-coolies and the mah-Joos grooms. The chair-coolies cluster outside the Grand Stand the balcony of which is occupied chiefly by ladies. The professional coolies were naturally highly interested in the Chair Races which were the most amusing events in the programme. In the Fai-Tee Stakes the gentlemen amateurs appeared in regular coolie-costume. One of the riders borrowed his bagpipes from one of the Highland pipers; but they proved his destruction for when his team came to grief just outside the winning-post he sat on the ground playing his pipes and deafening himself to the shouts of the judges who were endeavouring to inform him that he had not passed the winning-post. In our picture the pipers have been accidently omitted.-Our engraving is from a sketch by Mr. Charles E. Eldred H.M.S. Cordelia Hong Kong." "The Graphic" March 15 1890 <br> <br>From the Estate of the late collector and scholar Arthur Hacker. . The Graphic unknown

[Jesuits; China; Japan; India; Gall, Johann Chrysostomus; Terentius (or Schreck) Johannes
LITERAE P. JO. CHRYSOSTOMI GALL OLYSSIPONAE DATAE. And EXEMPLUM LITERARUM R.P. TERENTII AS R. PATREM JACOBUM KOLLERUM Contemporary Transcripts of two Letters of Two Jesuit Missions in China India and Japan.
Lisbon and Hangzhou China: Manuscripts ca.1623 and 1621. Very Rare A Similar Manuscript Exists in Brussels. We know of no others. The Latin text of both letters is written in a neat uniform cursive hand in brown. Folio leaves 33 x 20.5 cm The transcripts bound in 18th Century stiff blue wrappers the blank paste-downs and endpapers are late 18th century most likely the third quarter between 1745/1753 and 1776 since they contain a clear "lion/vryheit/pro patria" watermark with a crowned GR countermark which resembles Heawood 3148 3149 and 3154. The paper used for the manuscript contains a faint double-headed eagle watermark and it has been reinforced in the gutters. A very pleasing survival very well preserved edges slightly mellowed the wrappers show some signs of wear. VERY RARE MANUSCRIPT TRANSCRIPTS. Chrysostomus Johann Gall 1586-1643 was a German Jesuit and scholar. He left Ingolstadt Germany to teach astronomy mathematics and navigation in Lisbon fro 1620to 1627 before leaving to work in the Jesuit missions in India. The Colégio de Santo Antŕo benefitted from the arrival of many foreign mathematicians and other scholars as Lisbon serves as a gateway for all missionaries departing for Asia. The original letter by Gall was written in Lisbon September 1623 and concerns a newspaper style description of various events including details of the perseution of Christians in Japan particularly the execution of large numbers of the Christian community in Nagasaki in 1622.<br> The second letter in the present work is especially interesting as the original was written by Johannes Terentius also known as Johannes Schreck an Deng Yuhan Hanpo 1576-1630. Terentius was a prominent Jesuit scholar specialized in natural science and mathematics. Before joining the Jesuits as a novice1611 he already enjoyed a grea reputation in Germany as a scholar. In 1621 Terentius left for China to join the Jesuit mission. The original letter by Terentius was written in Hangzhou China on 30 August 1621 to the rector of teh Jesuit College in Munich Jakob Keller 1568-1631. He discusses his journey to China which he started in 1618 his intentions to participate in the planned calendar reform in China and his impressions of the city of Hangzhou which he reached in 1621 Terentius wrote several works on european medicine mathematics and technology in Chinese and together with Johann Adam Schall von Bell and G. Roho introduced European tigonometry and European astronomical instruments to China. In 1629 he began to reform the calendar which J.A. Schall von Bell ocmpleted after Terentius' early death a year later.<br><br>Backer & Sommervogel VII col. 1929-F<br> Manuscripts unknown

[LITERATURE - CHINA] GILES, Herbert
A History of Chinese Literature
New York: D. Appleton -Century Co 1935. Later printing. 8vo. 448pp. Dustjacket. Publisher's original yellow cloth titled and decorated in black to spine and front board a very good strong copy in a similarly very good copy of the dustwrapper with some superficial edgewear. Internally clean. With a striking and rather beautifully executed inscription in Mandarin Chinese to the front flyleaf:<br /> "To Hai Luo from Younghill Kang late 1935"<br /> <br /> Although the recipient of the inscription is unknown the characters may be a play on the nickname Leisure Man of Lakes and Seas of the Ming Dynasty writer Luo Guanzhong a tremendously important figure in Chinese literature who is notably absent from Giles's book and intended as something in the manner of a private joke. Younghill Kang is best known as the early Asian American author of the celebrated "The Grass Roof" and its sequel "East Goes West; The Making of an Oriental Yankee." Originally of Korean descent he moved to the US in the 1930's and became amongst other things an avid chronicler of his own culture shock. 61931. D. Appleton -Century Co unknown

[MAP / CHINA].
A Map and History of Peiping. Formerly known as Peking; capital of provinces princedoms and kingdoms since 1121 B.C.; in 1264 A.D. the capital of the Mongol Empire of Kublai Khan; made the capital of the Ming Empire and built as it is today by Yung Lo in 1421; continued as the capital of the Chinese Empire through the Ming and Ch’ing Dynasties; and now a city which will live long in the memory of man as one of the greatest the world has ever known. Completed of this fifth day of February in the year of our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-six. With Explanatory booklet. By Frank Dorn Peiping.
<p>Lithographed & Published by The Peiyang Press Ltd. Tientsin-Peiping 1936.</p><p>8vo 181 x 132 mm of 1 title-page 22 pp. of explanatory text and a folded map in colors measuring 86 x 74 cm. Two small tears in the white margin of the map. Preserved in the original publisher's wrappers and slipcase.</p><p><b>Very rare first edition complete with the folded map and the booklet preserved in the publisher's illustrated folder.</b></p><p><b>Finely executed pictorial map of Beijing published by Frank Dorn and the Peiyang Press. Ltd. of Tientsin and Peiping in 1936.</b></p><p><b>Dorn's map is perhaps the best known and most iconic pictorial map of Beijing published in the 20th Century offering a host of interesting ethnographic and iconographic information about Beijing and its environs while retaining the whimsical qualities of the great pictorial maps of the first half the 20th Century.</b></p><p><b>Dorn's map is considered one of the great maps of the golden era of pictorial mapmaking. </b></p><p>The map is ringed with a series of cartoon vignettes illustrating the history of the city from ancient times to 1936. Dorn was a friend and admirer of the pictorial mapmaker Jo Mora 1876-1847 and was clearly influenced by Mora's style of combining accurate pictorial details bright colors and a bit of whimsy along with vignettes providing an illustrated history of the place.</p><p>The cartouche is decorated with names and dates of historical events and this legend in the center.</p><p>Frank Dorn was an artist writer and military officer. Growing up in San Francisco he attended the San Francisco Art Institute and became an accomplished cartoonist. After graduation from West Point he was assigned a post in the Philippines and as a side project wrote a book about a clan of tribal people he got to know there. An acquaintance of California artist Jo Mora Dorn began making his own maps; an early one depicted Camp Strassenbourg in the Philippines.</p><p>While living in China Dorn made his popular pictorial map of "Peiping". He later served in the field as advisor to a Chinese army. A fluent speaker of Chinese Dorn's most important military role was in the China-Burma-India theater during World War II. There he served with Deputy Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army forces General "Uncle Joe" Stilwell during the Burma campaign from 1942 to 1944 and served as a commanding officer in 1944-45. A 1942 Life Magazine article about the Burma mission stated that "Dorn an artist drew Stilwell's campaign maps." </p><p>Dorn eventually attained the rank of Brigadier-General and retired in 1953. He settled in Carmel California living what his friend John Thompson describes as "a semi-bohemian life writing and painting. In the Sixties he did some amazing psychedelic paintings wondered if he was the incarnation of a Buddhist painter and held progressive civil rights and antiwar views." In the 1970s Dorn authored two highly-regarded scholarly books on the Chinese and Burmese theaters of World War II. </p><p><b>A fascinating pictorial map of Beijing drawn by an American officer who was a military attaché in China during the 1930s. </b></p><p><b>It features vignettes of Chinese history from 1100 BC to 1927 as well as modern tourist attractions</b> including golf and race courses. </p><p>Hints to the political situation include the 'Kuomintang Headquarters'; and the German swastika and the Japanese 'Rising Sun' flags flying in the 'Legation Quarter' the year before the official start of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937. </p><p>Frank Dorn 1901-81 was a graduate of West Point where he picked up the life-long nickname of 'Pinky' before being posted to Beijing in 1934 to help gather intelligence on Japanese aggression. He immersed himself in the language and culture of the city researching the Forbidden City and collecting antiquities. When war with Japan broke out Dorn became chief-of-staff to L.t General Joseph Stilwell with a rank of Colonel. At one point relations between the Americans and the leader of the Chinese Kuomintang Chiang Kai-shek were so bad that Dorn was ordered to prepare a plan to assassinate him. Although Dorn suggested giving Chiang a faulty parachute and sabotaging his plane authorization was never given. </p><p>The plan is packed full of wonderful illustrations from the border that covers the city's history from its inception in 1100B.C. its numerous dynasties - including the 'decadant period under the Ch'Ings' - through to the revolution of 1911 and the movement of the capital to Nanking in 1927. Also to the borders are illustrations of a wedding and a funeral. </p><p>The plan itself not only shows all the historic landmarks including the Forbidden City and the Temple and Altar of Heaven but also the racecourse zoo old execution ground and cocks fighting. </p><p>The color printed map is accompanied by a 22 page booklet which gives a potted history of the city together with a list of points of interest that are shown on the map.</p><p><br /></p><p><u>Français</u></p><p>Lithographed & Published by The Peiyang Press Ltd.

Conservé dans la brochure et dans l'étui d'origine.</p><p>Dimensions du livret : 181 x 132 mm.</p><p>Dimensions de la carte : 860 x 740 mm.</p><p><b>Très rare édition originale complète de la très belle carte repliée de Pékin et du fascicule de présentation accompagnant la carte le tout sous chemise illustrée d'éditeur.</b></p><p><b>La carte de Frank Dorn est sans doute la plus célèbre et la plus emblématique carte picturale de Pékin publiée au XXe siècle. </b></p><p><b>Elle offre une foule d'informations ethnographiques et iconographiques du plus haut intérêt sur Pékin et ses environs</b> tout en conservant les qualités fantaisistes des grandes cartes picturales de la première moitié du XXe siècle.</p><p>Elle présente une suite de vignettes illustrant l'histoire de la ville de Pékin aux temps anciens. La bordure de la carte regorge d'illustrations formidables qui retracent l'histoire de la ville depuis sa création en 1100 av. J.C. à travers ses nombreuses dynasties jusqu'à la révolution de 1911 et le déplacement de la capitale à Nankin en 1927. Un mariage et un enterrement sont également représentés dans cette bordure. Le cartouche comporte d'ailleurs des noms et des dates d'événements historiques majeurs. </p><p>La carte ne montre pas seulement les lieux historiques comme la Cité interdite ou le Temple du Ciel mais aussi des attractions touristiques plus récentes comme l'hippodrome le zoo les combats de coq… Elle révèle également les occupations des habitants.</p><p><b>La carte de Dorn est considérée comme une des grandes cartes de l'âge d'or de la cartographie illustrée.</b> </p><p>Frank Dorn 1901-81 était un ami et un admirateur du cartographe Jo Mora 1876-1947. Il a été clairement influencé par le style de Mora qui combinait l'illustration précise par des couleurs brillantes et un peu d'humour avec des vignettes fournissant une histoire illustrée du lieu étudié. Frank Dorn est un artiste auteur et officier militaire. En grandissant à San Francisco il a étudié à la San Francisco Art Institute et est devenu un dessinateur accompli. Après l'obtention de son diplôme d'officier à West Point il a été assigné à un poste aux Philippines. A côté de son travail militaire il a écrit un livre sur les tribus autochtones qu'il a appris à connaître là -bas. Proche de Jo Mora Dorn a commencé à faire ses propres cartes. </p><p>Plus tard vivant en Chine Dorn a réalisé sa carte illustrée de "Peiping" après s'être immergé dans la culture locale faisant des recherches sur la cité interdite et accumulant des antiquités. Il a servi dans ce pays comme conseiller militaire de l'armée chinoise. </p><p>Pendant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale il a été attaché au Chef d'Etat-Major Adjoint des Forces de l'Armée de Terre des États-Unis le Général Stilwell pendant la Campagne de Birmanie de 1942 à 1944. Un article de Life Magazine daté de 1942 a par ailleurs déclaré que "Dorn un artiste a dessiné les cartes de campagne de Stilwell." Dorn a finalement atteint le grade de Général de Brigade et est parti en retraite en 1953. Il s'est installé à Carmel en Californie vivant une semi-vie de bohème écrivant et peignant. Dans les années 1960 il a réalisé quelques peintures psychédéliques étonnantes. Dans les années 1970 Dorn a écrit deux livres savants sur les théâtres chinois et birmans pendant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale.</p><p>La carte accompagne un fascicule de 22 pages qui retrace l'histoire de la ville et présente une liste des lieux et monuments représentés sur la carte.</p><p><b>Fascinante carte picturale de Pékin dessinée par un officier Américain envoyé en Chine dans les années 1930.</b></p>
