‎Manuscript letter from Charles in Hong Kong to his sister Anna in the United States‎

‎Hong Kong 1873. Ephemera. Very good condition. A three page manuscript letter dated March 12 1873 from 'Charles' in Hong Kong to his sister 'Anna' in the United States. The letter was sent via San Francisco and the SS Colorado. Charles seems to be a young bachelor making his way in the Orient and he paints a detailed picture of daily events from a Westerners perspective but no real indication of why he is there. Charles and Anna were avid letter writers this one "No. 6" for the year. He refers to Anna's letters of Dec. 29 Jan. 5 19 that were just received. He talks of his lack of a Christmas and that most people who live in Hong Kong celebrate by getting "boozy" a sport he did not relish. He "would give more for 1 pound of good tobacco than 1 barrel of the best liquor." "For a young man who has not much determination this is the worse sic place in the world. There is nothing for him to do but play billiards & drink." He responds to Anna's questions about paper suits which were made in Japan a Joss house and the custom to accept an offer of tea 'you will have one of these little cups 7 saucers handed to you.' that he will send the 'Ivory letters to you for Miss Harrington' and refers to Anna's husband George other family and an acquaintance Wiliam Blanchard a pilot who lived in Shanghai as well as the 'great fire'. "The only thing I can say of the great fire is that it is too bad - but it may improve Boston by having different planned building and streets." The Great Boston fire of 1872 was Boston's largest and one of the most costly fire-related property losses is American history. He ends by sending his love to other family members and a request for a letter from George. The SS Colorado was the largest San Francisco-Panama route liner ever to sail the Pacific. She was originally brig-rigged but was altered in San Francisco in 1866 to enter the China service. In 1867 the Pacific Mail founded the first regular steamship service across the Pacific Ocean and the Colorado became the first American liner to carry mail across the Pacific to the Orient which helped pave the way for a rapid expansion of trade between California and the Orient. 4 page folded letter on watermarked paper "Hodgkinson & Co" with writing on 3 sides 8 3/8 x 10 1/8" with original fold marks. <br/><br/> unknown‎

‎Shanghai Municipal Police. British officer's photograph Album‎

‎Shanghai 1910. Hardcover. Good condition. A remarkable album of images and postcards many taken by a British police officer of the Shanghai Municipal Police which includes numerous vernacular snap shots titled in period ink bound in an elaborately decorated lacquer album. The Shanghai Municipal Police SMP was the police force of the Shanghai Municipal Council which governed the Shanghai International Settlement between 1854 and 1943. The SMP's role was to provide stability in the settlement and to protect Western trade interests against pirates and various Chinese nationalist movements and uprisings. The SMP was initially made up mostly of Britons; after 1864 it included Chinese. Over the years it grew to include a Sikh Branch 1884 a Japanese contingent 1916 a volunteer part time special police 1918 and a Russian Auxiliary Detachment 1941. When the SMP began in 1854 the first detachment of 31 British was on loan from the Hong Kong Police and led by Samuel Clifton. Additional men were recruited from the Royal Irish Constabulary London's Metropolitan Police and from the military presence in Shanghai. . The police officer who took these snap shots is identified only by his first name Andy and he appears in one of the 56 original snap shots which he entitles "Chinese Soldiers and your humble". He appears in another which he captions "girls running away from me in country village". The album consists of 12 photographs of Shanghai 10 3/4 x 8 1/2" and 8 x 5 3/4" of which 9 are entitled "Police on Parade" showing the men wearing the 'Custodian' police helmet including Indian police and Indian mounted police Sikhs; 4 of Chinese Punishments 3 scenes of decapitations; 1 of people confined in a cangue 6 x 4"; 56 original vernacular snap shots 5 x 4 1/4"; 1 "Parade in Egypt" showing mounted troops in the desert signed G.

The 56 original vernacular snap shots create a layered impression of contemporary life in China taken by the author and 3 British friends as they travel about the country. They include: the harbour; the jettee; a native court; the race course; street scenes; Up country trip snowy mountain scenes; a country temple; a resort "Mokanshan" sic; Soochow; our boat in Hangchow; trying to bargain market place stall; one of the British men in a wooden cage; getting the bamboos together in the river; a noted gateway up country; Chinese river life; famous bridge; religious ceremony on boat; beggars boats; the Great Lake; Fishing; and hairdressing in the street.
