QIANLONG, Emperor of China (1711-1799) Dazhang YANG (fl1770-1790). l. 17
Triumphal Feast for the return of General Fukang'an after the suppression of Taiwan from Pingding Taiwan deshung tu Victorious Battle Prints of the Taiwan Campaign.
Beijing: The Chinese Imperial Court c.1790. Original copper-engraving 50 x 86.7 cm overall sheet 54 x 90.5 cm showing the imperial reception of the victorious army and its commander the military officer Fukang'an d. 1796 from the extremely rare set of the Qianlong battle prints relating to the Taiwan Rebellion 1787-1788. Slight dust-soiling small tear without loss and minor crease to right hand outer margin generally very good. The Qianlong battle prints are a series of prints from copper engravings dating from the second half of the 18th century which provide an extremely interesting example of the interaction of Chinese and European artistic practices. The prints were commissioned by the Qianlong emperor of the Qing dynasty 1644-1911 who ruled from 1735 to 1796 and depict his military campaigns - known as The Ten Great Campaigns Shiquan Wugong - in China's inner provinces and along the country's frontiers. The master illustrations for the earliest of the these engravings were large paintings executed by European missionary artists employed at that time at the court in Beijing. These artists include Italian Jesuit Giuseppe Castiglione 1688-1766 French Jesuit Jean-Denis Attiret 1702-68 Bohemian Jesuit Ignatius Sichelbarth 1708-80 and the Italian Augustinian missionary Jean-Damascène Sallusti d. 1781. The engravings of the first set of 16 paintings Suite de seize estampes representant les conquetes de l'Empereur de la Chine Paris 1767-1774 commemorating three campaigns against the Dzungars and the pacification of XinJian 1755-1759 were not produced in China but rather in Paris at that time home to the best European artisans working in this technique. The emperor even decreed that the work should emulate the style of the Augsburg copper-engraver Georg Philipp Rugendas the Elder 1666--1742 whose work he knew. Small-scale copies of the paintings by Castiglione and his Beijing colleagues were sent to Paris to be transferred on to copperplates printed and then sent back to China along with the plates and prints. To commemorate later military campaigns additional sets of engravings were executed in Peking by Chinese apprentices trained by the Jesuits and differ markedly in style and elaborateness from those of the Paris series; the print offered here from the campaign relating to the Taiwan Rebellion 1787-1788 is an example of one of these engravings produced in China by Chinese artists. They are easy to to be quickly identified as they have calligraphic poems in Chinese composed and written by the Qianlong Emperor unlike the French ones which have the typical imprint of artist and engraver beneath the image. The Taiwan Rebellion 1787-1788: In 1786 Taiwan's Heaven and Earth Society comprising Ming loyalists rose up in revolt under their self-proclaimed king Lin Shuang-wen. His army soon comprised some 50000 people and by 1787 the rebels occupied almost the entire part of southern Taiwan. The initial Qing troops sent to suppress the rebellion were poorly organised and were easily defeated by the insurgents. Eventually the Qing court sent General Fukang'an with 20000 reinforcements which being better equipped and more disciplined quickly suppressed the rebels capturing the ringleader Lin Shuang-wen. Impressed by the wall paintings and the engravings he had commissioned from the Jesuits at the imperial court to commemorate his central Asian victories against the Dzungars see above Emperor Qianlong commissioned similar commemorative prints to be made of his campaign against the Taiwanese. By the time of the Taiwan campaign however all four of the Jesuit painters who had worked on the first series had died. Therefore Chinese court painters trained by the Jesuits were entrusted with the task. The scenes in the present lot were designed by Jia Quan and Li Ming who were used to working in the Jesuit tradition. They are dated 1787 1788 and 1789 with the series of prints being published in 1790. Thus these engravings provide an extremely interesting example of the interaction of Chinese and European artistic concepts as well as an indication of the fascinating relationship of the Jesuit artists in Beijing with the Qing court. Qianlong's battle copper prints were just one of the means the Manchu emperor employed to document his campaigns of military expansion and suppression of regional unrest. They served to glorify his rule and to exert ideological control over Chinese historiography. Seen in their political context the Qianlong prints represent a distinct and exceptional pictorial genre and are telling examples of the self-dramatization of imperial state power examples of which are obviously found in multiple cultures. The East Asia Department of the Berlin State Library holds a set of five series with a total of 64 prints. Rare. A complete copy of the Qianlong battle prints relating to the Taiwan Rebellion from the library of Norman Bobins fetched £81900 at Christies in July 2023. Library of Congress; cf. the Norman Bobins copy sold at Christies in 2023. [Beijing: The Chinese Imperial Court, c.1790]. unknown

China, Jakob Van Der Schley
Beijing Engraving by Jakob van der Schley Rendered by Johan Niehof 18th Century
China Steel engraving of city view of Beijing by Jakob van der Schley. 18th century. From a rendering done by Johan Nieuhof the Dutch traveler who famously crossed from Canton to Peking in 1655-1657. Measures 8 x 6.5 inches. Illustration shows a canal on the edge of the city's walls with crop fields across the water a variety of trees and the local dwellings as Niehoff drew them. Boats fill the water with fishermen working onboard. Text in banner above image reads "Jo Si Wo Entre Tyen Tsing Wey Et Peking." Jakob van der Schley was a Dutch artist who engraved the frontispieces for Prevost's Histoire Generales Des Voyages published in the Hague in 1747. As western explorers like Nieuhof reached China during the 17th century they sent back reports that captivated the European imagination and were picked up in secondhand accounts by writers like Prevost who had interest if not direct experience. A strange blend of truth and mythology mistranslation and exaggeration these accounts and accompanying illustrations provide insight into the Age of Discovery's reach as well as its limitations. Slight toning to borders does not affect image. Creased where folded. Very light foxing does not affect image. Overall very good condition. unknown

Republic of China, 1927 Lottery Loan
Republic of China 1927 Nationalist Government Lottery Bond Certificate
Republic of China 1927 Nationalist Government Lottery Loan Five Dollars. 1927 China 5 Dollar Lottery Loan. The History of the Republic of China begins after the Qing dynasty in 1912 This was a crucial year. In early 1927 the Kuomintang-CCP rivalry led to a split in the revolutionary ranks. The CCP and the left wing of the Kuomintang decided to move the seat of the Nationalist government from Guangzhou to Wuhan. There now were three capitals in China: the internationally recognized warlord regime in Beijing; the Communist in Wuhan; and the right-wing civilian-military regime at Nanjing The Comintern cause appeared bankrupt. A new policy was instituted calling on the CCP to foment armed insurrections in both urban and rural areas in preparation for an expected rising tide of revolution. That year an insurrection was led by Mao Zedong who would later become chairman of the CCP and head of state of the People's Republic of China. unknown
