About the Yao nationality its great majority branch is also known as Mien or Pinyin: Yáo zú; and as "Ngui Dao" in Vietnamese. They form one of the 55 ethnic minority groups officially recognized by the People's Republic of China where they reside in the mountainous terrain of the southwest and south. They also form one of the 54 ethnic groups officially recognized by Vietnam. In the last census in 2000 they numbered 2637421 in China and roughly 470000 in Vietnam. . Origins of the Yao Iu-Mien can be traced back 2000 years ago starting in Hunan Province. . The Yao people were among the rebels during the Miao Rebellions Ming Dynasty along with the Miao people against the Ming dynasty. . Around 1890 the Guangdong government started taking action against Yao in northwestern Guangdong. . Emigration from the late 1800s to early 19th century the Yao migrated into Thailand Vietnam and the highlands of Laos. The migration was agitated by the opium trade said by the Chinese government. But The Iu Mien say all the emigration was because of the Chinese taking their land. . A group of 61000 people on the island of Hainan speak the Yao language Kim Mun 139000 speakers of Kim Mun live in other parts of China Yunnan and Guangxi and 174500 live in Laos and Vietnam. .

There are 3 hand-colored Japanese images. Naturally there is some of the typical fading of some of the photos depending on the process. By and large overall an excellent examples. . Prior to coming to us there was a small number of photos extracted from the album the above list and count are accurate for what is present. . The captions are original in pencil in some places for better understanding we added "." to capture the creator's affect or to separate our comments. . THE ALBUM: The album has red 3/4 leather binding the spine is neatly re-backed the corners also neatly replaced with matching leather with gold-stamped cover title: "PHOTOGRAPHIEN" & spine title: "CHINA 1900-1903." . The balance of the covers are in green cloth which has gold rule lines with cover title: "Photographien" most likely of German/Austrian origin ca. 1880-90's vintage. . Album pages are solidly cloth hinged firm and serviceable there are no stains or other obtrusive marks inside. . There are a few lower right page corners rubbed chipped a few broken away typical for an item 120 years old. . BIBLIOGRAPHY: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yao_people . . hardcover‎

‎CHINA PHOTO ALBUM.‎

‎AN ALBUM OF PHOTOGRAPHS OF CHINA 1904-1906. Includes American Diplomats in Chi‎

‎China 1904-1906. Half red leather over marbled boards recent binding gold-stamped very good 35 x 27.5 cm. all edge gilt most gone 18 stiff leaves 166 b.w. photos one pencil drawing one post card one photo cut outvery clean. . . . AMERICAN "DOUGH BOYS" IN CHINA 1927 . . . DURING THE FIRST REVOLUTIONARY WAR . . THE FOUNDING OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY This excellent primary record was begun July 1904 and ended with the last photo caption dated June-August 1906. The work is an exceptionally clean example with meticulous captions clear and bright images of varying sizes. The smallest is 6 x 4.5 cm. ca 10 each up to 23.5 x 17 cm. for the largest. With a large number of intermediary sizes in between. . The captions are in both English & Italian and a mix of both languages carefully identifying the place & person photographed. From the kind of photographs and people in these its is easy to deduce that this album was likely made by an Italian officer assigned as part of the protective foreign force for the Italian Embassy and diplomatic corps as guards. Assigned to China to continue to protect after the Boxer uprising they protected both the foreign diplomatic community and their families. A good number of these are of Peking and of their excursions around China. . Visits to Shan-Fan-Shan temple photos of a friend who was in Seoul Korea riding a rickshaw photos of some American military officers: ie "Lieut. Clark & Capt. Brewster Commandant of the Peking U.S. Delegation guard Lieutenant. Clark" et al. Polo on the Peking Polo grounds Pei-Tai-ho beach one lovely one of "Casa di mia Isabella; next obviously a photo of the album's maker and Italian who freely associated freely with his American counterparts in the military & diplomatic corps. . A lovely pencil sketch of Francesco Rospidliosi perhaps the creator of this album dated August 1903.
