GERMAN FORCES IN CHINA
Albums chronicling the military acquisition of Kiautschou Bay and the activities of the East Asia Squadron.
China Japan and at sea: 1898-99; 1911-13. The "scramble for China" An important visual record of Germany's empire-building in China and naval life in East Asia before the First World War including early views of Qingdao. It was assembled by Hermann Mörsberger a future rear-admiral who served at Kiautschou Bay during the 1897-8 crisis and commanded the East Asia Squadron's SMS Nürnberg between 1911 and 1913. The murder of two missionaries in Shandong in 1897 offered Germany an excuse to deploy troops to Kiautschou Bay and press its case for a concessionary area - and strategically positioned port - on Chinese soil. Attached to the Matrosenartillerie-Detachement Kiautschou as a leutnant zur see Mörsberger 1872-1940 shipped out to China in late 1897 on the screw steamer Darmstadt. The ship's arrival off Qingdao in January 1898 and the rapid deployment of its marines confirmed Germany's de facto control of the territory and left the Qing government with little option but to grant a concession. The first album opens with a photograph of Darmstadt and superb photographs of the cruiser SMS Kaiserin Augusta - ordered to China to brandish its dozen guns - and other powerhouses of the squadron including Cormoran Irene and Prinzess Wilhelm. Images show the parade on 27 January 1898 to welcome the future governor Rear-Admiral Ernst Otto von Diederichs 1843-1918 and Qingdao's artillery dump and yamen. Missionaries were hot on the navy's heels the album containing a group portrait of Joseph Freinademetz and other visiting Catholic missionaries in February 1898 as well as several pieces of red paper with their Chinese and Western signatures. After the legal takeover of the concession Mörsberger transferred to Kaiserin Augusta visiting Shanghai Hong Kong and Tokyo. More standard tourist views of Shanghai including a nicely composed image of a junk moored in the river are arranged alongside photographs of the unveiling of the city's ltis Monument on 21 November 1898. In a more relaxed moment Mörsberger poses playfully with other junior officers. German power did not take long to bed in. Within a decade and a half Mörsberger - now a fregattenkapitän - returned to Qingdao with Nürnberg a Königsberg-class light cruiser and the squadron's newest member. A panorama shows the armoured cruiser SMS Scharnhorst the flagship of squadron commander Count Maximilian von Spee docked in newly built facilities the recently christened Prince Heinrich Hill in the background. Nürnberg moves between ports as part of its Yangtze patrol duties Mörsberger obtaining panoramas taken from the river of Shanghai Zhenjiang Jiujiang Nanjing and Hankou as well as shots of other squadron vessels. Alongside official events including the welcoming of official dignitaries and the parade to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Kaiser's coronation there is time for tourism parties and an international rowing contest. Four unusual photographs capture the illuminated buildings of Shanghai at night. A small proportion of material concerns Japan Thailand Honolulu and Mexico. Many of the professionally executed photographs concerning China were clearly circulated only within the German military and in small numbers. 2 albums landscape folio. With 195 mounted albumen platinum and gelatin silver photographs including 31 large portraits and views c. 145 x 205 to 205 x 280 mm 26 panoramas c. 90 x 290 to 110 x 340 mm and 138 small photographs c. 55 x 80 to 145 x 210 mm.

Nürnberg" in gilt on front cover decorative linings black cloth rear pocket card leaves hinged with black cloth.

CHRISTIANITY IN CHINA
Woodblock used to print part of the Ten Commandments in Chinese and later exhibited in Britain.
China: c.1880. China on Thomas Hardy's doorstep Labels on both faces indicate that this artefact of missionary printing was owned by Henry Joseph Moule 1825-1904 a close friend of Thomas Hardy and the brother of two prominent China missionaries. Moule was the first curator of the Dorset County Museum where this woodblock was perhaps displayed to a curious public. Moule's seven brothers included George Evans Moule 1828-1912 consecrated the first Bishop of Mid-China in 1880 and Arthur Evans Moule 1838-1916 who was active in Ningbo and Shanghai and who also wrote prolifically on Chinese history and current affairs. The primary face has the text of the fourth to tenth commandments as given in Deuteronomy and the carving employs a songti character style with serifs. The largest of the labels reads "Block from which a page of a book has been printed; viz. part of the Ten Commandments. Printing is a much older art in China than in Europe but always was and is performed as by the pre-Gutenberg European printers viz. from wood-cut blocks. A rough block with wood-engraving tools accompanies this block; and also an inking brush and a printing pad. The press is used China." Moule is named on a small label on the reverse. Single wooden block 165 x 210 mm engraved in 8-columns on primary face one column of characters and page subdivisions on secondary face 3 manuscript labels the largest covering upper-left quadrant of primary face. Contemporary blue pencil note on secondary face. General signs of handling carved character distinct: very good. unknown
