China; Photographs
Real photo postcards of the Xinhài Gémìng Xinhai Revolution of 1911 Taken by an American
1911. Photography. A group of 13 vernacular photographs printed on postcards taken in 1911 by an American who was involved in supporting the Xinhai Revolution of 1911. The postcards are all annotated on the verso and give a picture of US involvement in San Francisco Yokohama and Canton. Two postcards illustrate the ties with Japan. One is a photo of a group of six Japanese in Western clothing including a young woman in a large open touring car with the annotation "This picture was taken in front of the Clift sic House Aug. 20 1911. " Cliff house was a prominent hotel in San Francisco. At this time the U.S. Navy was entertaining the Japanese training squadron in San Francisco. Another card shows two American men in rickshaws "Jinrikshas in Yokohama Japan". We presume that these men were the American naval attachés or diplomats. The other 11 images are taken in Canton and two are related to the "72 Martyrs" that were beheaded. The annotations on the verso read:<br /> "Martyrs" who were beheaded by orders of Imperial Government for part they took in destroying the Viceroy's office 4/27/11. Soldiers are lined up on opposite side of pond just below people standing on embankment.; 11/19/11 Soldiers Rebels & sympathizers holding religious services at the graves of 72 "martyrs" buried in Canton cemetery. These were beheaded by orders of Imperial Govt. for party they took in destroying the Viceroy's office - 4/27/11. The rest are views of Canton-Canton River sampans & S. S. Wilmington in the distance American Gun boat; English Bridge Shameen to Canton a sign advertising "Yuen Hang Boulanger Canton" hangs to the right of the bridge; French Bridge Shameen to Canton this rather poor film; "One of the Bravest" on Shameen - looking up Central Ave. a soldier with a white domed hat and white puttees; Another view of the English Bridge Shameen to Canton; The American Consul's residence & office; Rear entrance to American consul's office - building on right used by the consul's coolies. Dr. Swan of Canton Hospital in his private sedan chair; along the Bund of Kook Four a suburb of Canton; View from the French Concession of Shameen looking towards Canton & near "French" Bridge. The Xinhai Revolution pinyin: Xinhài Gémìng also known as the Chinese Revolution or the Revolution of 1911 was a revolution that overthrew China's last imperial dynasty the Qing dynasty and established the Republic of China ROC. The revolution consisted of many revolts and uprisings. The turning point was the Wuchang uprising on 10 October 1911 which was the result of the mishandling of the Railway Protection Movement. The revolution ended with the abdication of the six-year-old Last Emperor Puyi on 12 February 1912 that marked the end of 2000 years of imperial rule and the beginning of China's early republican era. Dr. Sun Yat-Sen led the Xinhai Revolution to victory in 1911. <br /> The Republic of China in Taiwan and the People's Republic of China on the mainland both consider themselves the legitimate successors to the Xinhai Revolution and honor the ideals of the revolution including nationalism republicanism modernization of China and national unity. 10 October is commemorated in Taiwan as Double Ten Day the National Day of the ROC. In mainland China Hong Kong and Macau the day is celebrated as the Anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution. Wikipedia. unknown

[China]. [Travel]. Goodnow, Minnie
Typed Letter Signed Written to Missionary Friends Reporting on Travels in China Including Visits to Hospitals
Peiping China: June 4 1936. About very good. 2pp. Folio. Old fold lines minor wear a few contemporary annotations. Letter written by a nurse visiting China relating her itinerary in China which includes numerous trips to local hospitals and leper colonies. Minnie Goodnow was a registered nurse who served in France during the Great War. After her return to the U.S. she was a nursing administrator in several hospitals before embarking on this journey. She writes: "I am having a trip that is no less than wonderful. I had three objectives in mind for it -- to see the world or some bits of it; to see hospitals and learn something of what was being done in nursing education in several lands; and to see something of missions at first hand. I'm doing all three of them -- superficially but with great profit to myself. . I went up to Chiengmai with some of the mission people staid with Dr. and Mrs. Cort saw the wonderful leper colony and had a marvellous time. Here in China I have had a steady diet of missions and hospitals and done sight-seeing too." She goes on to relate her itinerary which includes trips to Shanghai Nanking Hankow and Changsha as well as a stay at a Buddhist monastery -- "Can you fancy the thrill I got from spending the night on top of a sacred mountain in a Buddhist monastery in the heart of China!"<br /> <br /> She continues: "Miss Stephenson went with me to two 'country' hospitals -- to complete -- or add to -- my education! They were those at Siaokan and Tiean and were most interesting. I also saw the old-fashioned leper asylum at Tiean which is on the way to becoming new-fashioned. Then I came here to Peiping where I have been for nearly four weeks. I am giving a short course in History of Nursing and doing sight-seeing also meeting people." She tells her reader that after China she plans to travel on to Indian with a similar mission. An interesting look into the culture of American travel and mission work in China in the 1930s.

[Missionaries]. [China Inland Mission]. Broomhall, Marshall
Typed Letter Signed from an American Missionary Regarding Conversion of Chinese Muslims to Christianity
London: March 29 1911. Very good. 1p. Previously folded. Contemporary manuscript annotation is left margin. Light toning. A brief but interesting letter dated March 29 1911 from Marshall Broomhall Editorial Secretary of England's China Inland Mission to the Rev. Arthur H. Smail a prominent American Missionary in China. Broomhall had recently published a book Islam in China in which he promoted the use of Arabic-speaking missionaries to proselytize Chinese Muslims. The book used information received from Smail about the Chinese Muslim population but Broomhall at certain points managed to confuse Beijing Peking and nearby Tongzhou Tungchow while apparently attempting to criticize Smail's statements. This letter apologizes to Smail for his error though the American seems to have still been cross -- having received the letter Smail noted in the left margin "Two pages gives to demolishing what I never said!

[Missionaries]. [China]
Mimeographed Letter Signed from an American Missionary in China Regarding Continued Contributions Despite the Chinese Civil War and Forwarding a Lucky-Charm Woodblock Print
Shanghai China: February 24 1928. Very good. 1p. plus colored woodblock print 21.5 x 12.5 inches. With original envelope. Old folds minor wear. Mimeographed fundraising letter sent by Reverend H.G.C. Hallock to a supporter in Vermont. Henry Galloway Comingo Hallock 1870-1951 was a West Virginia native who studied at Princeton Theological Seminary. He moved to China as a Presbyterian missionary and teacher in 1905 where he taught Sunday School served as a pastor and also taught theology at St. John's University in Shanghai. He survived war disease famine and a Japanese prison during World War II; he died in China in 1951. One thing that set Hallock apart was his inclusion of local Chinese woodblock prints with his fundraising letters which today have become desirable collectibles. Such a print is present here showing the God of War Wu-ti. His letter opens discussing the print:<br /> <br /> "Wars in China suggest sending you 'Wu-ti' the Chinese god-of-war. . The general idea about Wu-ti is that he delights in war. That is not the Chinese idea of him. . Officials and scholars worship him as the ideal of loyalty soldiers do it to make them brave and protect them in battle and the people worship him to protect them from war's horrors. He's called 'Peace Bringer Protector Great God of Loyalty.' But he makes not peace nor protects nor makes loyal so is a failure. He's also called 'Warrior Prince.' As to that name he's a great success! There are lots of wars."<br /> <br /> He goes on to discuss the many conflicts which are like "a real Chinese puzzle" noting that it's not the people of China who are at issue or fault. "Recently I have received letters from America suggesting that since 'China has altogether gone to the bad and the Chinese are absolutely impossible' and since our 'work among them has gone for nothing' then I should 'quit and come home.' I hope you don't think thus. The masses of Chinese tho reminding me of 'dumb driven cattle' are still friendly as ever. The war-lords the Nationalists the Reds the bandits wars and evil propaganda are disturbing elements; but they are NOT China nor the Chinese. . The troubles in China have come from a fiercely aggressive and 'noisy minority' who make the great mass of Chinese suffer untold hardships." He goes on to defend the Christian work being done in China as of great benefit to the people. February 24 unknown

Eliminating Poverty Through Development in China
Paperback / softback. New. In recent years China has achieved impressive economic growth and also made remarkable progress in human development. However contemporary China is still faced with the great challenge of widespread poverty. This not only constitutes a barrier against China's pursuit of sustainable economic growth but also poses a potential threat to China's attempts to construct a harmonious society in the future. This book written by three renowned poverty-reduction experts under the aegis of the China Development Research Foundation - one of China's leading think-tanks - and drawing on the research of over twenty of China's top scholars in this field examines China's efforts to eliminate poverty through development. It analyses all of the key issues providing a review of China's past record in poverty alleviation comparing this with the experiences of other countries identifying the new characteristics and trends in poverty in recent years and discussing the factors responsible. It assesses the objectives and success of the poverty alleviation policies adopted by the Chinese government in a comprehensive way and puts forward suggestions for policy makers. Overall this book is a valuable account of China's own thinking on its problems of poverty and the best ways to tackle it and achieve sustainable economic development. paperback

International Strategic Relations And China's National Security: World At The Crossroads
Hardback. New. The world was standing at the crossroads in 2015 as globalization propelled human beings into an increasingly integrated community of common destiny. In the meantime the world witnessed the strategic competition among major powers. This annual publication offers views opinions and predictions on global political and security issues and China's strategic choices by Chinese scholars. It covers almost all the significant issues that took place in the international security arena in 2015. Besides the relations among major powers it studies the international community's fight against Islamic State IS the strategic situation in the Korean Peninsula political situation in Myanmar the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on the Iranian nuclear issue free navigation in the South China Sea China's Belt and Road Initiative and its grand diplomacy.This book argues that the strategic competition among major powers is heightening and smaller countries as well as extremist forces like the IS are seeking strategic space by taking advantage of the conflicts among major powers.

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."

[China; Doheny collection]
Chinese Pith Paintings collection of 69 images from the Library of Edward Laurence & Carrie Estelle Doheny
China 1870. Fine. A splendid series of pith paintings from the Doheny collection. The watercolor and gouache paintings are splendidly preserved displayed and housed. The bookplates of Carrie Estelle Doheny and Edward Laurence Doheny are mounted on acid free board which sits atop the images and the totality fits snugly into the box. <br /> <br /> The images are in the traditional format in this case illustrating nine subjects - <br /> Royal Procession 6 images; Birds 11 images; Ships & Barges 5 ; Tea Cultivation 7; Punishments 11; Butterflies & Flowers 2 ; Butterflies & Insects 8; Court life 5; Flowers Camellias etc. 9. Each is protected in an archival paper sleeve 13 x 8.25 inches and numbered in pencil on the wrapper. Images 33 x 21 cm. <br /> <br /> The stability of these images is greatly enhanced by their conservation. Each pith image has been backed on acid free tissue supporting the pith which is quite fragile. The vast majority of the images are complete and undamaged. A minority have small marginal cracks or small corners missing. A couple have slight browning. Each image is preserved in a numbered acid-free folder and the whole is housed in a custom brown and black leather solander box numbered XI on the front board. <br /> <br /> Pith paintings are notoriously fragile. Crossman states "The other paper commonly used for watercolors and gouaches after 1800 was pith. The pith paper is a very fragile medium to work on and many of those watercolors which have survived are cracked and broken. Crossman "The China Trade" pp 95-97.<br /> <br /> A splendid collection. unknown

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.

[China] Manetti, Saviero
Cucule celeste della China Plate LXXX engraving from "Storia naturale degli uccelli trattata con metodo e adornata di figure intagliate in rame e miniate al naturale"
Florence Italy: Giuseppe Vanni 1766. Print. Very good condition. Period hand-colored copper engraving from the Natural History of the Birds Treated Systematically and Adorned with Copperplate Engraving Illustrations in Miniature and Life-Size 1766-1777. <br /> <br /> The work carries some interesting historical importance according to Peter Dance: "The production of its five massive folio volumes must have been one of the most remarkable publishing ventures ever undertaken in Florence. Begun in 1767 and based on birds taken from the collection of Giovanni Gerini it was completed ten years later. It was larger better engraved and more vividly coloured than any previous work on birds but these are not its only claim to fame. The attitudes of the birds themselves give this book its unique character. Strutting parading posturing and occasionally flying.are birds whose real-life counterparts would surely disown them and not without reason for Manetti seems in these pictures to be depicting the human comedy the habits and mannerisms of contemporary Italian society. His book may still be rated among the very greatest bird books if only for its magnificent comicality" S. Peter Dance The Art of Natural History: Animal Illustrators and their Work. London 1978.<br /> <br /> Approx. 10 5/8 x 13 1/2" platemark on watermarked paper measuring 14 1/2 x 18". The original images were drawn by Lorenzo Lorenzi Violante Vanni or Manetti himself. HKD3680.

Hudson Taylor's spiritual secret
China Inland Mission London Philadelphia Toronto Melbourne Shanghai 1935 1935. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Soft cover. Good/No Jacket. 178 pages ; 22 cm OCLC 4209340 ; red and black paper wrappers ; copy of Wick Broomall Jr. with his name on front endpaper ; Wick Broomall Jr. was born on this day January 31 1902 to parents Wick Broomall Sr. and his wife Annie Nixon Broomall. Their son was educated at Maryville College graduating in 1925 and then preparing for the ministry by attending Princeton Theological Seminary from 1925-1929. Loraine Boettner was attending Princeton at that same time. Wick earned the Th.B. degree in 1928 while concurrently earning an M.A. from Princeton University and he then earned the Th.M. degree in 1929. That was the year that was marked by the reorganization of Princeton Seminary a change in the governance of the school which allowed modernists to take control and a change which drove conservatives like Robert Dick Wilson J. Gresham Machen O.T. Allis and several other professors to resign in order to start Westminster Theological Seminary.By August of 1929 Wick was ordained by Birmingham Presbytery and he briefly served as stated supply for the PCUS church in Montevallo Alabama 1929-30 before taking a post teaching at the Evangelical Theological College 1930-32 this school was renamed Dallas Theological Seminary in 1936. Returning to Birmingham he pastored the Handley Memorial church 1933-37 while also serving as the founding President Birmingham School of the Bible now Southeastern Bible College. Rev. Broomall also served churches in Georgia and South Carolina and taught at Columbia Bible College 1938-51 before transferring his credentials into the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church and taught at Erskine Theological Seminary 1952-58 then was received back into the PCUS and pastored the Westminster Presbyterian church in Augusta Georgia 1958-69. While serving as one of the founding faculty at the Atlanta School of Biblical Studies 1971-75 he was also pastor of the PCUS church in Sparta Georgia 1972-75 and as one of the founding fathers of the PCA led the Sparta church in becoming one of the founding churches of the new denomination.The author of a number of books and articles Rev. Broomall was also a founding member of the Evangelical Theological Society well-known among their number. " ; A spiritual biography of the "father of modern missions"Hudson Taylor's Spiritual Secret poses one question: What empowered Hudson Taylor's ministry in China The answer is unfolded in these pages. Written by Taylor's son and daughter-in-law it shows us a man with fierce faith who believed that God truly would fuflill all He promises in Scripture. For Christians longing for the inward joy and power that Hudson Taylor had they can find the secret to it here. The secret it turns out is available to any who call on Christ's name."An easy non-self-denying life will never be one of power" Taylor said. "Fruit-bearing involves cross-bearing. There are not two Christs--an easygoing one for easygoing Christians and a suffering toiling one for exceptional believers. There is only one Christ. Are you willing to abide in Him and thus to bear much fruit" ; repair to spine ; G <br/> <br/> China Inland Mission, London, Philadelphia, Toronto, Melbourne, Shanghai, 1935 paperback
