Lankin.
Atlas Chinensis; Being a Second Part of a Relation of Remarkable Passages in two Embassies from the East India Company of the United Provinces to the Vice-Roy Singlamong and General Taising Lipovi and to Konchi Emperor of China and East Tartary. John OGILBY. 1671. This fascinating copperplate engraving comes from a famous work originally published in Dutch by the trade diplomat Jan Nieuhoff translated into English by the British mapmaker and publisher John Ogilby. The images provide a document of early western contact with China and come from the account written by the diplomat Jan Nieuhoff who was the steward of the first Dutch trade Ambassadors to China. The Dutch East India Company was keen to persuade the Emperor to open up the Chinese ports to the Dutch and Nieuhoff joined Pieter van Goyer and Jacob de Keyser on the mission to visit the Emperor Chun-Chi. The work includes many remarks on Chinese manners and customs together with a second part comprising a general description of the Chinese Empire. The fine plates and illustrations show town views in China Tibet and Tartary together with subjects such as costumes and natural history. Atlas Chinensis is a superb work on China noteworthy not only for text bringing notice of the mysteries of the East to English readers but for the magnificent engraved illustrations and plates. Copper engraving. Very good condition; some light age toning of sheet and slight foxing not affecting the image; a crease along the centrefold and tear to the bottom margin. Uncoloured. Size: 36 x 29 cm. 14 x 11½ inches unknown

Map of China Shewing Railways Telegraphs & Treaty Ports.
London: War Office 1913. Modernity's steel rails The 1913 version of a map that was issued periodically throughout the 1910s. Drawn and printed at the Ordnance Survey Office in Southampton it highlights railways built in progress and proposed and two inset maps show links to Beijing and in Manchuria. A column of notes gives gauges mileages and notes on construction. The map shows that at the onset of Republican rule China had around a dozen lines in progress or planned - including a stretch linking Hankou to Canton - to complement the main lines connecting Beijing to Hankou Shanghai and Mukden. The side notes address the complexity of the railway network's governance and administration - lines were variously built managed and worked by combinations of foreign and Chinese organizations. Colour lithographed map 740 x 990 mm. Sometime folded occasional scuffing and edge toning two panels on verso browned: a very good example. unknown

CHINA
The Tenth Anniversary of the People's Republic of China.
Beijing: no stated publisher 1959. A grandiose photobook First and only edition with a printed compliments card from the preparatory committee for the anniversary celebrations. Though unmarked as such this copy was owned by Solomon Adler one of the select group of Westerners permanently resident in China during the Mao era. The 1959 festivities signalled China's growing independence on the international stage and its stepping out of the Kremlin's shadow. This lavish production carefully compiled and printed at great expense is a comprehensive pictorial review of events held on and around 1 October 1959. It begins with the text of addresses by Liu Shaoqi Zhou Enlai Lin Biao Deng Xiaoping and Song Qingling followed by vistas of famous architectural landmarks such as Tiananmen Square and the Museum of the Chinese Revolution. Photos of a meeting and banquet held in the Great Hall of the People accompany shots from the National Day parade showing fireworks dancing and flowers. Mao and Khrushchev feature prominently as do images of diplomatic events and of politicians inspecting industrial exhibits architectural landmarks and cultural artefacts. An economist by training Adler 1909-1994 worked in the US in the 1940s but later fell under suspicion during the "red scare." After a period spent at Cambridge University he moved to China in 1962 living in Beijing until his death three decades later and working on the official Chinese translation into English of Mao's Selected Works. Folio. With tissue-guarded portrait frontispieces of Mao Zedong and Liu Shaoqi tipped in many illustrations 9 folding in text. Original white cloth spine lettered in gilt on red ground compartments elaborately tooled in gilt front board with gilt and red emblem of the People's Republic of China "1949-1959" lettered below in gilt silver silk bookmarker. With dust jacket. Housed in original card box. Binding with touch of wear couple of illustrations slightly proud where incorrectly refolded; jacket flaps without price as issued a few closed tears and chips scuffing: a near-fine copy in very good jacket and like box with some toning and marking. hardcover
