‎Chinese Family Album Across Republican and Early PRC Eras with Extensive China Geographic Coverage‎

‎China Republican and Early PRC era China Beijing Guangzhou Wuhan Dalian Jilin Shenyang Anshan Fushun Hong Kong family photo album. 1930s–1960s. Album with 107 original black-and-white silver gelatin photographs. String-bound in plastic photo album with vinyl floral cover and red stitching. Album measures approx. 10" x 7.5". Photos vary in size from 1.25" x 1.5" to 4" x 6". A visually rich and wide-ranging family photo album spanning three tumultuous decades of Chinese history—from the Republican period through Japanese occupation to the rise of the People’s Republic. The 107 photographs capture family life school portraits patriotic dress childhood leisure scenes and architectural backdrops in both urban centers and provincial towns. Notable geographic annotations some printed in Chinese on the photographs identify the cities of Beijing Guangzhou Wuhan Dalian Jilin Shenyang Anshan Fushun and Hong Kong offering an unusually comprehensive record of life across northern southern and northeastern China. Photographs show men and women in both Western-style suits and traditional qipao students in uniform before school buildings family portraits featuring multiple generations and travel scenes from busy docks promenades and urban streets. The earliest photos likely from the 1930s include posed studio portraits with painted backdrops and early photographic paper stock while later pages reflect everyday life in Mao-era China. Several images appear to show postwar travel or repatriation possibly between Hong Kong and the mainland including photos taken aboard a passenger ship. Other images depict monumental architecture and city signage that help identify Fushun and Shenyang both major centers of heavy industry under Japanese and later PRC development. Light edge wear and toning to some photographs occasional spotting and watermarks to photo mounts. Overall very good condition.

‎Photograph album of service in China with the US 15th Infantry Regiment 1929-32.‎

‎China: 1929-32. The Old China Hands A vivid and wide-ranging visual record of China seen through the eyes of a soldier in the US 15th Infantry Regiment "The Old China Hands" stationed in Tientsin Tianjin between 1929 and 1932 - a time of violent upheaval. The album's many captions document street life and personal scenes alike: peddlers gamblers barbers "lotus feet" decapitated criminals funerals pagodas sampans and the Great Wall. A series of about 100 smaller winter photographs taken in and around Beijing show the Forbidden City the Ancient Observatory and the Sacred Road to the Ming Tombs with one figure resembling the Swedish Sinologist Sven Hedin. Tientsin was then divided among foreign concessions - Japanese British American and European - granted since 1860. The 15th Infantry had been based there since the Boxer Rebellion of 1900 earning their nickname and dragon insignia. The regiment's role was to protect civilians during the chaos of warlord conflicts banditry and incursions such as the Sino-Soviet clash of 1929 and the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931. Several photographs record barricades from the "War of Tientsin" and 12 more the "Shanghai War" of 1932. The album opens with a formal portrait of Company G under Captain S. C. Robertson followed by snapshots of parades rifle practice guard duty "Can Do" week and soldiers at play. Scenes of US transport ships stopovers in San Francisco Honolulu and Guam and a pencil-annotated Christmas 1930 menu hint that the compiler was Private Rudolph M. Bergner. Together these original and commercial images offer a remarkably personal view of China in turmoil - a prelude to the coming war. Landscape quarto 280 x 370 mm. 104 pp. black heavy stock paper leaves each with tissue guard 655 corner-mounted original photographs with red black or marbled pink ornamental mounts measuring between 45 x 65 mm and 215 x 280 mm numerous postcards photo postcards postage stamps.
