The Yangtse River Commission was formed by presidential order in December 1922 and the American engineer George Gottlieb Stroebe 1877-1965 served as the first head of its survey department. After several years of operation the commission switched its focus to the middle section of the river stretching from Hankou to Yichang. In 1925 it installed new gauges and discharge measurement stations while also collecting data with equipment maintained by the customs service. Until 1926 inclusive reports were released in the name of the commission's technical committee before responsibility transferred to the Ministry of Communications. The table of contents for the fifth annual report 1926 calls for 221 plates but numbers 150-221 were not issued. 3 works bound in 1 octavo 255 x 180 mm.

‎China; Fireworks‎

‎Collection of 16 Chinese Firework package decorations for the firm Fat Shan Lai Wo Cheong‎

‎Guangdong China 1910. Ephemera. Very good condition. Attractive Chinese firework labels with the manufacturers name 'Fat Shan Lai Wo Cheong' printed with a red rubber stamp on the verso of most. According to the description of a group of labels held by the MOA at the University of British Columbia they were made in Guangzhou Guandong and Canton China between 1850 and 1910. 17 elaborate foil and tissue or paper backed labels with colorful hand painted illustrations of men women and children flowers butterflies ranging in shapes and sizes 3x1.5" to 7.5x7.5" to 10.5 x 5". Detailed scenes of people dressed in robes with curtains and flowers surrounding them and interesting facial expressions. "Gold labels were handmade in workshops using assembly line techniques. Artisans first cut out the labels' overall shape from bronze or copper foil. Next they apply a thin rice paper backing to strengthen the foil. To texturize the foil the artisans used pointed tools to emboss designs. These sheets were pinned to a wall or table so that several painters could work on them. The backgrounds would be painted first followed by the details in the foreground using smaller brushes. During the last application even finer brushes were used for the facial features and calligraphy. Some shiny areas of the original bronze or copper foil were left exposed. It was also common to add a layer of gold leaf designs pressed out of hand-carved wooden blocks to further accentuate the design. Firecrackers were and are used to ward off evil spirits honor deities and to celebrate special occasions. Manufacturers and merchants would order bulk firecrackers pack them into wooden crates and decorate the crates with these labels to entice potential distributors and consumers."

‎Mandarin He Sing of the Chinese Junk". Signature with period caption‎

‎New York 1847. Ephemera. Very good condition. Signature of crew member of the 'Keying' the first ship from China ever to dock in New York City identified as "the Mandarin: He Sing Xi Sheng". The ship moored off the Battery in Manhattan in July 1847 much to the anger of the crew which had signed on for a voyage to Singapore and Batavia only. However the ship was a smashing success with 4000 visitors paying 25 cents each to board the vessel and gaze at the crew and ship. P.T. Barnum got in on the action by exhibiting a replica and claiming some of the crew were the original Chinese. 'Keying' sailed on to Boston and London and was noted in the press as the first junk to round the Cape of Good Hope or to have sailed in British waters. He Sing was still on board: "The ROYAL CHINESE JUNK "KEYING" manned by a Chinese Crew. Visitors received by a Mandarin of rank and Chinese Artist of celebrity. The Illustrated London News 29 July 1848. He Sing's signature in black ink on blue card with period pen inscription on white paper below "Mandarin He Sing of the Chinese Junk". with Clipping from the Illustrated London News showing a "Chinese Banner" with an invitation to readers to assist in its translation an early version of crowd sourcing. Signature 3 3/4" x 2 1/2"; the clipping 3 1/4 x 3 1/2".

‎China; Photography; Sun Yat Sen‎

‎154 Photographs around Beijing China around 1925‎

‎1942. Photography. Very good condition. A collection of black & white photographs in and around Pekin Beijing taken in about 1925. While the photographer is unidentified the photos are clear and well framed. These are unusual images as they seem to have been taken by an American but no American is ever shown in the photographs. The photos illustrate the sites and trades of China and there are also images that refer to Sun Yat Sen including a photo captioned with his name possibly him with a group of others walking in a square. Shot number 76 is of 'Sun Yat Sen Funeral rehersal' sic at the Temple of Azure Clouds" which took place in 1925. <br /> <br /> Famous buildings include the Summer Palace Temple of Heaven Great Wall Altar of Heaven Forbidden City Sleeping Buddha Temple Cloud Tower Taoist Shrine Temple of Universe Summer Palace Marble Boat Pagoda Tientsin Dock the Great Wall etc. There are many street scenes with local people and merchants Tibetans at Lama Temple Pekin Donkey ready for shoeing Toy Peddlar sic with Gong Pekin old man and 2 bird cages Paint Shop Pekin camels Iceman Pekin Coal Carrier Defile near Wall Pekin Beggar Pekin Barber. <br /> <br /> "Unique among 20th-century Chinese leaders Sun is revered by both the Republic of China on Taiwan where he is officially the "Father of the Nation" as well as the People's Republic of China where he is officially the "Forerunner of the Revolution" for his instrumental role in the 1911 Revolution that successfully overthrew the Qing dynasty." wikipedia.<br /> <br /> One additional snapshot of a snowy American scene entitled 'Winter 1941-2" that was developed at the Westchester Photo Finishing Co. with Nutone process 4 1/8 x 5 1/8". The typewritten caption on this photo is consistent with the captions on the photos so it appears to be a cohesive group belonging to one person.<br /> <br /> 154 photographs 2 5/8 x 4 1/2". They are printed on card and are possibly from contact sheets as they there are some slightly rough edges. The majority have a label affixed to the bottom of photo with identifying number and caption which corresponds with a 3pp typewritten index. The list number 157 photos 154 present here so nearly complete. Very good condition. unknown‎
