China Medel
Spectral Aesthetics: Visualizing the Crisis of Migrant Disappearance
Hardback. New. <p><b>Analyzing how artists reimagine migrant disappearance and visibility at the US–Mexico border.</b></p><p> In the mid-1990s the US government implemented Prevention through Deterrence a major buildup of troops walls and surveillance around El Paso and San Diego. Cut off from these crucial urban crossings migrants flowed into the dangerous surrounding deserts where some ten thousand have since died. This is all according to plan: Pentagon documents describe the strategy of funneling migrants toward “mortal danger.†</p><p> In this bracing critique China Medel explores the aesthetics enabling and resisting the crisis of migrant death. The nation-state’s performance of sovereignty along the border predicated on mass casualties is tolerated and even celebrated thanks to the images in our heads of racialized and therefore criminal bodies made invisible as they disintegrate in the baking sand. <i>Spectral Aesthetics</i> shows how state officials and mainstream media relying on postracial ideologies and white-supremacist agendas collectively foster this picture of a brown body so abject that it is disposable. In close readings of artworks contesting this murderous visual regime Medel discovers an alternative kind of sight one emphasizing the ghostly traces of the dead. These are images not of the individual “alien†but of life itself indisposable. </p> hardcover

(CHINA - 18TH CENTURY ILLUSTRATED BOOKS ON). HELMAN, ISIDORE-STANISLAS-HENRI, Illustrator
FAITS MÉMORABLES DES EMPEREURS DE LA CHINE. bound with ABRÉGÉ HISTORIQUE DES PRINCIPAUX TRAITS DE LA VIE DE CONFUCIUS
Paris: Chez l'Auteur 1788 1788. FIRST EDITION. 565 x 400 mm. 22 1/4 x 15 3/4". 50 leaves. Two separately published works bound in one. <br/> Modern retrospective calf-backed tan paste paper boards smooth spine profusely gilt with a repeating pattern of grape vines red morocco label lettered in gilt vellum tips. ENGRAVED THROUGHOUT WITH A TOTAL OF 48 FULL-PAGE ILLUSTRATED PLATES each accompanied by either one or two plates of engraved text. SHEETS UNCUT AND UNFOLDED the first work printed only on the recto; the second with three sheets printed on both sides. Reed and Dematté China on Paper 20 21; Cohen-de Ricci 479. Edges and lower corners slightly worn but the binding with only just minor signs of use; free endpaper in front and back with vertical crease one sheet with an early marginal repair isolated inconsequential faint spotting but still AN EXTREMELY FINE COPY the wide-margined sheets exceptionally fresh and bright and with strong impressions of the engravings.<br/> <br/> This pair of lavishly illustrated fully engraved works produced by a talented French engraver after earlier Chinese artworks are here presented in an enormous volume made up of uncut and unfolded sheets. According to Benzit Parisian engraver and print seller Isidore Stanislas Henri Helman 1743 - ca. 1809 "stands out among the engravers of the end of the 18th century" and his skill is evident in the two works bound together here. The first is a pictorial history of the Chinese emperors from the earliest mythical rulers to the Northern Song dynasty 960-1126. It is based on the Dijian Tushuo composed in 1573 to educate the Ming-dynasty Wanli Emperor 1563-1620 who had ascended to the throne at the age of nine. In accordance with its didactic aims it presents the very best and worst of imperial behavior and the original handwritten album was published as a block-printed book to great popularity. Two centuries later the Qing-dynasty Qianlong Emperor 1711-99 commissioned a Western-style edition of the famous work which was executed by two French artists the Jesuit painter Jean-Denis Attiret and the engraver Charles-Nicolas Cochin II. The enterprising Helman was able to see the Attiret-Cochin book in the collection of French statesman Henri Léonard Jean Baptiste Bertin 1720-92 and having had great success with a previous reproduction of a Chinese work Conquêtes de l'Empereur de la Chine ca. 1783 he created the present reproduction. The second work the life of Confucius was also reproduced from plates in Bertin's collection. The source material in this case was the biography of Confucius assembled by the Jesuit Joseph-Marie Amiot 1718-93 as part of his informational series on China meant to educate missionaries. Amiot was a correspondent of Bertin and had sent him the biography and accompanying album of drawings which were based on the Shenji tu Illustrated Traces of the Sage a popular Confucian work throughout the Ming and Qing dynasties. Helman selected 24 scenes from each creating books that balance serene scenes of mountainous landscapes and temples with dramatic fight scenes and dragons. The quality of the engravings is excellent with delicate linework creating faint wisps of smoke and subtle shadows. These two works apparently both published in 1788 were released in several formats. The format here with the engravings laid out on the recto of large uncut sheets appears at auction very infrequently: we have been able to trace only two copies of both works in this format since 2004 and neither in such fine condition as the present example.

SHAOLIN SI [SHAO-LIN MONASTERY/TEMPLE, CHINA]
LI DAI SHAOLIN SHI GIA JEN WU SHI GI. HISTORICAL CHINA MAP. A MAGNIFICENT & LARG
Edo 1750 Suharaya Mohei. Large folding map 170 x 200 cm. old mended worming rebackedpastel colors Japanese reprint of a map printed in Henan in 1679 folds down to be 21.5 x 25.5 cm. woodblock printed hand color. V E R Y R A R E ! . . AN EXCEPTIONALLY RARE WALL-SIZE MAP OF CHINA . . EXECTED BY A SHAOLIN ZEN MASTER The Shaolin Xi Monastery/Temple is a Chán Zen Buddhist temple at Song Shan near Zheng Zhou City Henan Province in Dengfeng China. It was led by Venerable abbot Shi Yongxìn. founded in the 5th century the monastery has been famous for centuries its association with Chinese martial arts and particularly with Shaolin Kung Fu. It is also a Mahayana Buddhist monastery perhaps best known to the Western world. . The Shaolin Monastery and its famed Pagoda Forest were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010 as part of the Historic Monuments of Dengfeng. Extracted from Wikipedia. . A RARE EDITION: Reprinted and published in Japan by Katsuragawa Hosan in 1750 reproduced from the Chinese original of Kangxi 27 1679. The original Chinese edition has been exceptionally obscure and impossible to come by for over the last two-hundred years and is believed now to be lost to posterity. . PRINTING TECHNIQUE AND THE PAPER: The work is woodblock printed by hand on hand-made Washi paper then hand-colored in delicate pastels. . CHINESE VIEW OF ANCIENT CHINA: This grand scale work covers a very large space and is quite handsome suitable for framing and display. The map shows a full view of all of China from the Great Wall in the North Shanghai the East coast down to the oceans in the South and Hainan Island and the coasts along he Eastern shores. This is a spectacular work showing each province in pastel colors with outlines large numbers of place names rivers & the major waterways mountains named and located. By and large inspired to show all of the known lands considered a part of China delineating the country and its exterior boundaries. . Japan and other islands are not shown but boxes with notes in Chinese as to their existence and location are well documented. The lower portion has text discussing the population of the various provinces and other notes. Areas beyond the traditional lines of China i.e.: North of the Great Wall and to . RARITY OF THE MAP AND ITS MAKERS: This grand-scale and truly spectacular work is virtually never found on the market. The Shaolin Monastery monks were the original founders of the celebrated and now famous Kung-fu martial art school located in Henan province. The priests were legendary and the most feared for their martial art prowess. They were also covert with their powerful political force in China. . SHAOLIN SI TEMPLE/MONASTERY LEGENDARY CUSTOMS: Priests who passed the highest level of Kung-fu martial art were invited to participate in a recognition ceremony. They were allowed to self-brand themselves by picking up a red-hot iron brazier that had long temple dragon decorations on the sides. The branding was accomplished by clamping the brazier between their forearms until the dragon image was branded on them. These brazier dragons are identical to the long dragon found at the top of this historic map. Another ancient practices used was the Jieba. It is an ancient ceremony where nine marks are burned onto the head with sticks of incense. In 2007 the Chinese government partially lifted the 300-year ban of the Jieba allowing the the mentally and physically prepared to participate in the ancient tradition. Incense or moxa was used on top of the shaved head and burned in a ceremony of dedication to the Shaolin Si temple/monastery by the most skilled of martial artists. WHY THE DRAGON SYMBOL WAS USED BY SHAOLIN MONKS: The top of the map show the dragon as a symbol of the Shaolin Si. In China the dragon is the first of twelve zodiac animals and is the most powerful of all and represents the ultimate and greatest of all powers known. It is also the one and only legendary animal in the zodiac the rest are actual animals. Because this map was conceived of carved and printed at the Shaolin Xi monastery or temple by these very priests they put the most powerful symbol at the top a dragon. The symbolic meaning indicated that China was superior to all other nations. It was also a private pun by the Shaolin priests indicating for all to see and know that the Shaolin temple and its priests were above all others. Additionally it reminded and indicated that the Shaolin priest were the most powerful martial artists and covert political force in all China. . RARITY: The original Chinese edition has been exceptionally obscure and impossible to come by for over the last two-hundred years and is believed now to be lost to posterity. Shaolin Si temple/monastery imprints are very R A R E ! Few references or examples exist of their woodblock printed works. This edition was a copy of the original re-carved by the Japanese and reissued. Not only is this map of great interest to Chan Zen Buddhists Shaolin Kung-fu collectors martial artists and historians but to students of Chinese cartography collectors and museums. . CONDITION: The map has been professionally re-backed in its distant past due to the large amount of old worming. It is now solid and stable. Because of the rarity of this work a complete map found in any condition would be now considered exceptionally R A R E ! Please review images posted to our website to observe the restored condition. . THE COVERS: The map has been rebound in non-original paper covers perhaps about 100 years ago. It is contained in a brown cloth Chuan Chitsu folding slipcase with ivory clasps cloth a bit faded one edge a bit worn else clean & solid. . THE SCANS: While we have made efforts to take good digital photographs and scans of our copy due to the exceptionally large size of the map these photos are not of the highest quality. We therefore are additionally using copies of this map from the Oda reference book illustrations as samples of what the map is like. Please note the following digital images are from Oda: cover.jpg illus08.jpg & illus12.jpg the balance are from our digital camera. . Any client who purchases this map may be interested in the Japanese text found in Oda. Upon request we are happy to provide a copy of his entry. . BIBLIOGRAPHY: G.

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

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. Peking race track grandstand "Variag" Chemulko Korea: view of a belly-up ship in Korea another dated April 1904 shows various diplomats: "Ministro d'Augustine.Mr. Uchida.do of Peking." dragon boat in Shanghai three great photos of horse-mounted officers with caption and date "Warriors. 1904 Peking & Huang Ts'un" and their horses. . January 1905 the album continues with photos of the soldiers in Peking their pet dog horses wagons Chinese grooms &c. Then a lovely and grand size group photo some in military uniform others in civilian clothes diplomats most with long boots dated "March 1905" most with Italian names except for one penciled at the far right: "Swanton" and two women. Names appear above and below the photo which is 23.5 x 17 cm. Next 2 page show horse racing honor guards in formation "April 1905" going to church photos of Peking race horses and their foreign mounts "May 1905." Next pair of pages show a "September 1905 Trip to the Great Wall with Mrs. Brewster & Miss Brewster at Sha-ho Chinese hotel Nan-ko Pass Mrs. David at Peitai-ho" and along the way to the Great wall with stunning photos of the impressive and grand size "First Gate." Their horse-drawn stage coach-like "wagon" straight out of the old American West ! Photos of three foreign children "Peking 1905." On the next page more of the Great Wall excursion: Capt. & Mrs. Brewster along side the Great Wall & of course photos from on top of the Great wall all nicely dated ! Next set show more on the Great Wall and "Coming back without Toda and a superb photo of the album compiler mounted on horseback with "doggie" standing at attention ! . The next pair shows Shanghai naval officer and horse wagon another of two foreign children in a large Jinriksha in Peking 1905 with another of the children in great fur coats. Postcard of the Wuta-su Temple of Seven Pagodas Peking. More horse-mounted photos Peking race course. . The next page shows some important and spectacular photos. "Miss Roosevelt Eleanor wife of President Franklin D. Roosevelt who held that office from 1933 to 1945 Capt. Diconard Military Attaché USA Mr. Rockhill U.S. Minister please inquire with us to see if we have some of his important books on Tibet in stock Mr. Cooledge First American Legation Miss Roosevelt Chinaman.Peking Sept. 1905. These great people are greeted by a group of Chinese Imperial Mandarins wearing special hats and long white gowns. Another of "Miss Roosevelt M. Mrs. di Almeida Capt. Pringle Peking 1905." . Then a larger and quite stunning photo of Italian Naval officers.and Americans: "Mrs. Brewster Commandant Cipriani Miss Brewster Guardia della Degarione d'Italia.Capitano BrewsterAmerican." all seated before a great Fu Dog for a camera pose. . The album continues then a rather sad photo of the "Portion of the remains of the French Catholic Mission residence of La Varche & Ma-murdered Nan Chang March 1906" & "Kinghams chapel in background.burnt house is right around March 1906." Adjacent to this is "Ring leader of attack on Kingham's house Han Chang March 1906." . Next 2 pages show more ruined church with "corner of house in which Mr. & Mrs. Kingham and the little daughter Gracie .they were beaten to death in this corner-blood stains March 1906."

CHINESE ANCESTORS PHOTOGRAPHS, SOUTH CHINA
A PAIR OF CANTONESE ANCESTOR PHOTOGRAPHS: MAN AND A WOMAN
Hong Kong n.d. ca. 1900. A pair of large b.w. photographs woman: 31.5 x 40.5; man: 31 x 47 cm. very good condition minor wear on eges a few spots board mounted with studio brushed touch ups and accents. OBSCURE This is a pair of matching "Ancestor Photographs." They were taken about 1900 in Hong Kongand are probably photos of a Cantonese husband and wife. They were used posthumously to be placed on the family altar for worship remembrance and to make offerings of incense and food during the year. STUDIO POSED: The works were clearly taken in a studio. Each has been slightly enhanced by the photographer's brush upon development. The man's photo shows touch up and accent in his eyebrows moustache the lines and folds of his eye lids. The woman's photo has been touched up in her hair where thin lines to accent her hair have been drawn in as an accent. The frogs or fasteners of her Cheongsam dress have also been outlined to accent their definition. CONDITION: The woman's photo has some gray spots at her lower chest line in the bottom are of the photo. This is somewhat feint and not exceptionally bad otherwise there are 2 tiny white spots at the left in the background. The lower edge of the photo was roughly cut and then later likely matted out by the photographer. These defects do not significantly detract from the overall image which is clear sharp and otherwise without any major defects. Overall a strong solid image clear sharp and bright. The man's photo has a narrow water spot at the background just adjacent to his left temple a few white spots on the negative which transferred to the photograph common to the early period of this photograph. There is a small divot just below his chin in the background. Otherwise the photograph is with out any large defects. There is an interesting fingerprint in the left background just above his shoulder obviously place there by the photographer. A small discoloration is found on the area just above his right temple which again appears to be in the negative. Overall a strong solid image clear sharp and bright. It is out belief that the photographs were not taken on the same day at the same photographer's studio. The man's photograph appears to be an earlier work with a different photographic process. The woman's looks like it was taken a few years later. We believe the couple were married and represented the late ancestors of a Hong Kong family. PROVENANCE: The set was purchased in Hong Kong in 1959 and were framed as matching set. . unknown

Brown simulated alligator cloth covers 37 x 27.5 cm. black pages spine ribbon-tied ca. 400 b.w. photos corner mounted images very good sharp and clear images NOT fadedsolidnicely done. V E R Y R A R E ! . . SUPERB PHOTO ALBUM OF THE CHINESE CIVIL WAR: . . Beginning of The Communist Party led led by Mao Tse-tung . . V.S. the Kuomintang KMT or Chinese Nationalist Party . Led by Chiang Kai Shek. . The United States Supported the KMT. In this album we see how the KMT soldiers hosted the American Army in China using their trains and military bases throughout China. This unusual album contains 400 original b. w. photographs & and is an historic photographic record of American military deployment showing Dough-boys in China probably from the U.S. Army's 2nd. Battalion 15th. infantry per the flag and insignia found on a group formation photograph. A minority are with written captions by and large taken by the person who made the album also enhanced with a small percent of professional Chinese photos some of which have in-negative captions. There are ca. 3 or so photos missing else completely filling 32 pages or 64 sides one on the inside back cover. The inside of the front cover has five attractive period color luggage type adverts from various hotels: Hotel Lankershim & Coast Line Military & Naval Hotel San Francisco Cal; The Court Hotel Tientsin North China; Grand Hotel des Wagons Litz; Astor House Hotel Ltd. Tientsin. The album begins with photos of a Chinese playing a Pi-pa snake skin banjo then there are three other photos: first two show a Chinese military camouflage train engine from which a Yank soldier in his campaign hat descends and a long train of cars with a large howitzer mounted upon one last shows French troops at parade rest with their rifles and white gloves and crested helmets with anchors naval or marines with others in the background with some officers. The next two pages show Chinese coolies swing a basket from the creek top water a field a mother suckling her baby with her family at the farm a large water tower in the wet slums and a group of Doughboys at attention in formation they wear boots leggings chrome World War I type dress helmets a rifle back pack with bayonet cartridge pouch belts with green wool hip-length jackets. The opposite page shows another view of the Chinese military train a pair of large mounted guns on an armored train car. To the right is a Chinese officer pointing to a large pierced hole in the train with a foreign engineer peering out from the small window. The train sports the Republic of China flag with a Chinese military unit flag painted on the side. Another view shows a group of abandoned Chinese coffins that went to the dogs; a group of soldiers in garrison caps at attention with fixed bayonets as the officers salute someone near the person taking the photo some Chinese officers also present. Next 2 pages show Chinese on a wheel barrow some Japanese women by a pond in Kimono and a group of British troops from their colonial Empire: blacks Indians white trumpeter Chinese and others with musical instruments all wear white cork-type pith helmets. A group of Japanese officers mugging for the camera. Photos of the railhead and large number of Chinese troops with rifles and kit at the railway station some on march carrying their flags others in open box cars with touring cars that are on the move another of camouflaged armored train cars one shows a number of foreign soldiers looking out of a train car window some are with tiny embossed stamp at right corner: "Mei Lee Tien Tsin." The album continues with a mixture of images of civilian Chinese Chinese military their trains moving air planes weapons war refugees in tents military views of barbed wire fortifications trenches machine gunners Russian soldiers Chinese officers Chinese air force funerals rickshaw pullers camel trains captured & wounded prisoners foreign soldiers at their sand-bagged posts. Photos of the great wall magnificent Chinese architectural monuments buildings and pagodas religious icons coffins more coffins mortars & Chinese junks and a plethora of others. The American Consulate General's compound in Tientsin American military band welcoming the newly arrived replacement troops. A large photo group shot of the American officers seated for a memorial photograph with their Battalion flag proudly posted on the wall where they pose source of our citation at the top of the unit name; two buglers are at each outside position the commander is ram-rod straight and taller than all others seated in the front & center; he and only two others on his sides wear full leather knee boots probably indicating the highest ranking officers; others are in boots & leggings. Photos of Doughboys aboard a ship showing the Naval officers with one stunning photo of an American high officer with his Japanese & Chinese counter parts posing for the camera. And a photo of the "Mail Boat Gazun Panama" and a few others of Panama giving credence to the fact that some of these soldiers came from the American East coast via Panama to San Francisco then on to China. Nice photo of semi-nude Panamanian family men women children. Doughboys at target practice photos of Chinese poverty coolies pulling great loads and street vendors. More showing Chinese life style street life horse & bullock carts and yet more caskets left in the open unburied and abandoned train cars full of horses Chinese troops smoke rising from a burning city another with "Tian jin" written in Chinese catholic church more parading of American soldiers within the Tientsin American Consulate parade grounds trooping of the colors. And a nice photo of the "U.S. Army Transport Thomas" Chinese junk &c. A U.S. soldier in a necktie his rifle at fixed bayonet at parade-rest before the Consulate General compound with sand bags inside a photo of a U.S. soldier with his Colt-45 on his hip with canteen looking at some communications connections another photo of two mini U.S. tanks and a very long bridge over the water. Photo of the Tientsin downtown with a Sikh Indian policeman directing traffic. Next page shows a public Chinese street execution: the guilty on his knees with the executioner ready to swing a very large sword and another headless corpse is before him the Tientsin YMCA compound opposite which is likely the inside of the American Consulate offices showing very ancient typewriters and three women staff and one other female Navy person. They all mug for the camera with a good number of U.S. Army or Marine officers behind three desks. Chinese hauling "magnum gold" brand ammunition on hand- trucks a U.S. Army band performing before the Consulate's office. At this point we find a few photos with penned captions: "One of China's Department Stores it shows a bird vendor; Peanut Gambler a mountain of P-nuts; Chinese Shimboo photo of the office and maker of the album and his Chinese officer friend ; "A Chinese Taxi" shows him in a Rickshaw "Me and the boy friend 11/3/28" shows a tiny goat cart carrying a child's coffin with a Chinese man. This penned date gives substantial proof of the date range of the entire album which was placed about the center of the whole work. The next page shows two more penned captions: "Chinese cavalry" and "Note mud house and fence" shows two Chinese officers on horse-back and a very very poor house with very starved animals. The next shows six Chinese undercover men two each holding a Chinese being readied for execution; and a very grizzly photo of a Chinese officer actually executing a Chinese man with his pistol who is seated on a rock: the photo captures the action as the shot blows away the mans brains. Behind the execution scene is a crowd of American soldiers in campaign hats and Chinese military officers who are witness to the event. More views of Chinese street life vendors pullers haulers & horse carts religious icons and a stunning Chinese roofed gate more Chinese troops on the move via train with a very horrible view of a large number of dead Chinese in the muddy filthy waters by a bridge. Homeless Chinese at a "soup kitchen" war refugees hauling their belongings house boat street barbers a group of 7 photos by the ocean. They show American soldiers at leisure looking at Chinese fishermen nets naked fishermen hauling in a net of fish to the beach a burning waterfront village the jetty where several large American transport ships are at anchor and a great assembly of Yankee soldiers on the beach with duffel bags and their gear at the railhead. The last photo shows a great number of various whisky bottles lined up for display. More photos show a coffin maker large coffin basket seller and "chow" sellers on the street. A military formation of 100's of either Scottish or Irish soldiers with fixed bayonets marching down the main street before the "RNC Electricity Dept." below which is a very long line of British soldiers on one side of the street opposite from a good number of American soldiers who are on the side of the street a British Union Jack flies over a castle-like structure this is clearly some kind of grand military parade. More photos of the Great Wall the military parade and army chaplains with an Australia flag flying over another castle tower. Chinese river scene with large numbers of native boats in a canal a beggar's camp with straw -mat tents a canal crossing ferry for people a photo of a U.S. officer stand on top a wooden coffin for a closer look. More poverty-stricken Chinese haulers fortune tellers graves tethered horses log sawyers rice haulers electric trolley with English and Chinese language sign on the roof panorama post card of Shanghai's Bund. The album now shifts to photos of the Peking area. Shows the Ming tombs and the camel-lined road; military train the Americans were transported by that train a large bivouac and tent city where the U. S. military troops camped some Chinese "house boys" proudly holding the American troop's unit flag. More photos of two U.S. soldiers posing near Chinese coffins in a wet ditch. A group of very young Chinese boys posed near the railroad; one is so poor that he has no clothes at all and is in nude. A large group of Nationalist Chinese soldiers marching along a street one classic photo of a single American soldier on guard standing at attention as stands vigil on a barbed-wire barrier his rifle at fixed bayonet. A group of five Chinese young "ladies" who pose for the camera who seemed NOT to be bewildered by the photographer they look like "Sing-song girls" hookers who entertained the U.S. troops. Chinese Buddhist priests in white robes with shaved heads a great gate to Peking Shanghai harbor views shanty huts captured Chinese criminal or traitor guarded by Chinese soldiers train car full of rifles more Chinese soldiers on trains marching in formation on the road. And a good photo of several American officers: one with a whip posing for the camera in garrison hat. Chinese bivouac and American soldiers with bullet and pouches for ammo with rifles at parade rest. More barbed-wire barricades Chinese & British soldiers armored train-mounted gun. More Chinese prisoners traitors being executed heads hoisted on power poles in baskets as a form of public warning and display for other would-be traitors. An American tent bivouac camp at the train yard two more public exec executions by beheading at the moment of loosing one's head an executed dead man lying in the street. Photos of Peking's Forbidden City a Chinese hung to death from a tree a Yank soldier in overalls carries a Chinese bamboo "yoke" with two baskets and smokes a pipe while Chinese look on and laugh. Two photos of lines of Rickshaws waiting for passengers. One comic photo with negative caption: "Find the Chinaman;" it shows two American soldiers sitting among Chinese. Nice shot of the Summer Palace Peking and a U.S. soldier riding in a Rickshaw. The very last photo inside the back cover shows the whole battalion dressed up wearing their chrome helmets standing at attention in formation for a classic and most historic memorial photograph. Their commanding officer is front and center; all have their rifles ammo belts and very polished boots with back packs. They could be standing in the Tientsin American Consulate compound grounds. Followed by a few other photos of Chinese a Chinese soldier et al. This work shows the typical things seen in China during this period of political and military chaos. The feuding war lords and political parties at war; the landing of American military to protect American diplomatic interests. Support & assistance given to the Americans and other foreign military groups by the Nationalist Chinese army. The desperate situation of the tragic Chinese people caught in the grips of upheaval and the summary punishment of traitors in a public display of the swift and ruthless law of China. A riveting and most compelling true record of a U.S. military officer's sojourn to and deployment in China. THE PHOTOGRAPHER AND THE SIZE OF PHOTOGRAPHS: This is not a professional group of photographs but there a very small amount which were obviously purchased by the maker of the album and inserted. The vast majority are his personal photographs these again are obvious to anyone who looks at the album. This is an excellent example of private work of an unknown American Army officer stationed in China during a very chaotic period. He was interested in recording for posterity his experiences and the sights that he saw while on duty. We thank him for giving us privy to this slice of American and Chinese military history. SIZE OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS: The size varies considerably sizes in cm.: the smallest are 8 x 5 most are 14 x 9 3 larger photos 24.5 x 18 and the last 30 x 10. CONDITION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS: These are original period photos they are all very clear sharp images no fading and in excellent condition. They have been corner mounted. RARITY: Photographic albums of this period in China are NOT commonly found; one made by an American Army officer stationed in China at this time is exceptionally unusual and RARE ! This is a charming primary source with a large number of clean & sharp images taken by an actual participant in this historic period of China. The officer and photographer of these photographs shared for posterity his keen insight and view of these events. We thank him for giving us privy to this slice of American & Chinese military history. . unknown
