[EMBASSY TO CHINA] ALEXANDER, WILLIAM; FITTLER, JAMES (ENGRAVER).
The Approach of the Emperor of China to his tent in Tartary to receive the British Ambassador. caption title
London.: G. Nicol. April 121796. Large format engraving 29.9 x 45 cm; 37 x 50 cm sheet trimmed to the platemark spots of browning to the image mainly affecting the sky and marginal foxing corners a little toned old paper repair affecting the caption only no loss the sheet creased at the corners and a little dusty but a strong dark impression in very good condition. Intricate and wonderfully composed engraving after a drawing by the artist William Alexander 1767-1816 prepared for the folio atlas to George Staunton's account of the Macartney Embassy to China of 1793. The engraver James Fittler 1758-1825 was appointed by George III to be his Marine Engraver. Despite the serried ranks of the Chinese noblemen attendants and the figure of the Emperor himself occupying almost the entire engraving it is the figure of Lord Macartney making an entrance stage right who steals the show. Fittler has amplified Macartney as "hero" with the dramatic use of tone: Lord Macartney is bathed in light a representative of the British Empire "on which the sun never sets". The page attending Macartney is the figure of George Staunton's son Thomas. <br>A dramatic evocation of the might of Empire. <br> <br>From the Estate of the late collector and scholar Arthur Hacker. .

[CHINA - 18TH CENTURY MAP] BARROW, JOHN (ARTIST); BAKER, BENJAMIN (ENGRAVER).
A Sketch of a Journey from Zhe-Hol in Tartary by land to Pekin and from thence by water to Hang-Tchoo-Foo in China.
London.: George Nicol. 1796. Double-sheet engraved copperplate map 63.2 x 44.8 cm; 75 x 57 cms sheet including platemark central fold the sheet toned at the edges and central fold a couple of minor spots and edge wear but in very good condition. An exquisitely engraved map with fine detail of the route taken by George Macartney on the first official British embassy to China 1792-1794 undertaken with the aim of gaining trade concessions from the Chinese Emperor and published in George Staunton's officall account. <br> <br>While the official purpose was not successful much was learned about China and the Chinese as is evident from this map with its explanatory texts. To the west of Pekin just below the starting point at Zhe-hol Jehol which is situated at the top of this map the commentary reads: "A great part of the country around Pekin is employed in the production of culinary vegetables and a variety of fruits." At the lower edge of the map just north of the ending point of Hangzhou is the lake Tai Hoo: "The western side of the Tai-hoo is bounded by a very romantic and fertile country whose mountains are clutivated to their very tops. A great part of the province of Tche-tchiang appears to be cultivated with Mulberry trees for the food of the Silk worms." Cities of the 1st 2nd and 3rd orders "considerable towns" and villages are marked along with "Halting places" etc. Fascinating Western documentation of the area around the Imperial Canal of the late Eighteenth Century. .

WEALE, PUTNAM
The Eternal Priestess: A Novel of China Manners.
London.: Methuen & Co Ltd. 1st UK Edition. 1914. 404pp 31 3 publisher's catalogues Strikingly decorated blue cloth covers lettered in gilt head of spine has a closed tear that has been reinforced small puncture hole to the gutter on the front board prior owner name in pencil on the front free endpaper but a very attractive copy of the first edition. The author states in the prologue that the people living in these pages are not real but they are essential parts of a picture painted to portray facts - that is the impact of the East upon the West the disarray which collisions bring and the ensuing irony. <br> <br>At first glance this novel may appear unremarkable however it is of considerable interest in the 20th century history of Chinese-European relations as it includes on page 26 what is believed to be the earliest published reference to the infamous sign in Shanghai's Public Garden which purportedly stated "Dogs and Chinese not Admitted". The sign has now been conclusively shown not to have stated this however references to the racist wording still appear to this day and the reporting of its existence has caused and continues to cause a great deal of ill feeling. <br> <br>Reginald Johnston former tutor to Pu Yi the last emperor of China wrote in a 1927 pamphlet issued by the Tianjin British Committee of Information that the anti-Chinese wording "it is a kind of slander which takes a lot of killing and survives even the most authoritative denials". Shanghai's Dogs and Chinese Not Admitted" Sign: Legend History and Contemporary Symbol - Robert A. Bickers and Jeffrey N. Wasserstrom. The China Quarterly No 142. June 1995. <br> <br>Putnam Weale was the name under which Bertram Lenox Simpson 1877- 1930 wrote many books about China. Born in England Bertram Simpson followed his father into the Chinese Maritime Customs Service leaving the service in 1901. He wrote a great deal about China in the years that followed and became deeply involved in Chinese politics. He was murdered in 1930 and it seems quite likely that his murder was of a political nature though neither motive nor killer was ever found. . Methuen & Co Ltd. hardcover

WOODHEAD, H G W
The Truth About the Chinese Republic
London.: Hurst and Blackett. circa1925. Portrait frontispiece 287pp appendix first and last leaves are faintly foxed neat written name of a prior owner on the half-title spine a little sunned but a firm and tight copy. "In the following pages an attempt is made to reveal the facts regarding the more important issues which have arisen between China and the Treaty Powers as a result of the recent disturbances in that country. It seems to be the fashion nowadays in some circles to regard every claim made or right exercised by the foreign Powers in China as "imperialistic" or unreasonable. It does not seem to be generally understood that the so-called "unequal Treaties" constituted the only means at the time at which they were imposed of securing for foreign residents in China reasonable security for their persons their property and their trade. . . . This work was written with no feeling of hostility towards the Chinese among whom the writer is proud to number many close friends. He believes that it is essential that the truth about the more important of China's international problems should be widely known and that no real service would be done to China by ignoring stubborn and irrefutable facts when the question of treaty-revision is seriously taken up. The labour expended upon writing this volume during a brief furlough will be amply rewarded if it contributes to the discussion of China's problems on a basis of reality. It is easy enough for the arm-chair critic or the sentimentalist at home to urge the scrapping of existing Treaties and the relinquishment of the privileges certain foreigners at present enjoy. These people would probably take a very different view if they had lived for any length of time in China and acquired a first-hand knowledge of the actual situation in that country. And I cannot believe that they are doing any real service to China or to their own countrymen by creating the impression that the British and American publics have completely succumbed to Chinese nationalist and Bolshevik propaganda."

MATHEWS, FRANCES AYMAR
A Little Tragedy at Tien-Tsin.
New York.: G.W. Dillingham Company. Reprint. c1906. Colour frontispiece 426pp 2 adverts neat pencilled inscription front free endpaper dated 1910spine sunned with light rubbing to head and tail. Very good copy A curious collection of short stories set in China or amongst the Chinese community in the US by American author Frances Aymar Mathews. The story from which the book takes its title was first published in Harper's Monthly. While another journal well known for its coverage of Asian affairs at the time The Overland largely ignored the disasterous fighting deaths looting and destruction going on in China during the Boxer Rebellion Harper's Monthly published this "peculiar story" alongside political essays of the time. Set in Tien-Tsin a city which had suffered terribly this is the story of "an illicit intimacy" between an American writer and a young Chinese housewife which not surprisingly ends in tragedy. A story which strongly reflects the attitudes of its time. Yu-Fang describes it: "This story evokes the colonial trope of "enslaved" Chinese women's liberation through Christianity and heterosexual love while displacing violent colonial encounters into a domestic tragedy of illicit inter-racial intimacy." Cultural Politics of Deviance and Unequal Difference 1890-1910 - Yu-Fang Cho. SUNY. 2013. . G.W. Dillingham Company. unknown
