‎OSS IN CHINA.‎

‎Album of photographs showing the liberation of POWs.‎

‎China: 1945. A rare series of photographs taken after Japan's unconditional surrender when the OSS launched eight operational missions to rescue POWS across east and south-east Asia. Two of the images show Lee Beom-Seok a resistance fighter and the first prime minister of South Korea who worked closely with OSS personnel in China. The first images capture a team of US soldiers disembarking from a C47 cargo plane. In one photograph taken at night Lee stands alongside soldiers in the uniform of Chiang Kai-Shek's National Revolution Army. A long series of photographs shows smiling internees and their liberators while two at the end of the album show OSS personnel in discussion. At least one photograph appears to show Clyde Bailey Sargent 1909-1981 a sinologist who joined the OSS as a civilian and undertook intelligence-gathering missions in China and India. Later in the war he served with the Flying Tigers in a military capacity joining the CIA after 1945. His short obituary is pasted on the inner rear cover. Square octavo photo album. Original card covers white plastic spiral binding housing 24 gelatin silver photographs each c. 95 x 105 mm in wallets. Photographs somewhat sunned and toned: very good. unknown‎

‎MAO'S CHINA.‎

‎Shanghai 1949-1959.‎

‎Shanghai: Shanghai renmin meishu chubanshe c.1959. The preferred deluxe issue First edition first printing of this photobook issued by the Shanghai Municipal Government to celebrate ten years of Communist rule as well as Chinese culture history and art. Shanghai's status as the country's economic powerhouse is stressed through numerous pictures of heavy and light industries smiling workers and modern housing developments as well as of consumer goods such as fountain pens sewing machines and bicycles. Space is given to healthcare culture and the arts the historic architecture of the Bund parades and tourism. Unlike other propaganda from the period the message is uniformly forward-looking centring on developments achieved under socialism rather than recycling shop-worn condemnations of the Republican and imperial eras. Copies of this extravagant production were also issued housed in a paper box. Folio. With 21 tipped-in plates 16 colour 2 folding colour and black and white illustrations throughout.

‎CHINA MARITIME CUSTOMS.‎

‎Service List 1904.‎

‎Shanghai: Statistical Department of the Inspectorate General of Customs 1904. A Commissioner's record of four decades of the Chinese Maritime Customs Service First edition sole printing with a pleasing provenance of the Chinese Maritime Customs Service internal staff list for 1904 issued to the sinologist Charles Williams in his first year as an employee. Williams annotated this copy throughout his successful three-decade career to track the fortunes of Service colleagues. His signed armorial bookplate is to the front pastedown. Charles Alfred Speed Williams began working for the Service's revenue department in November 1903 at the junior level of Fourth Assistant. He rose to the rank of Acting Commissioner at the Lungchow station before retiring in late 1935. On leaving the service he was given the honorary rank of Commissioner. Williams' manuscript additions show that he maintained an evolving record of the careers of those who worked with him in the revenue department. He notes colleagues who reached the senior grade of Commissioner and their dates of compulsory retirement while he also records whether members of staff resigned retired or died in office. In line with his own interest in the Chinese language Williams also highlights those who attained the Service's highest grade of Chinese language proficiency. The Chinese Maritime Customs Service was founded in 1854 by Britain and other foreign powers to collect taxes on maritime trade for the Chinese government but its remit quickly expanded to include domestic customs administration the postal service waterway and harbour management and meteorology. These areas of responsibility inevitably overlapped with diplomatic and political issues making the Service one of the most powerful bureaucratic entities in the country. Between 1875 and 1948 the Service published an annual list containing basic information on all members of staff and their responsibilities. These volumes only ever distributed for internal use represent a valuable record of the Service's contributions to the economic and political history of modern China. Alongside his successful career in the Chinese customs bureaucracy Williams maintained a deep scholarly interest in Chinese history and culture. He is most well-known for Outlines of Chinese Symbolism and Art Motives: An Alphabetical Compendium of Antique Legends and Beliefs as Reflected in the Manners and Customs of the Chinese 1931 a work that went through multiple editions over several decades. In 1969 he published his autobiographical Chinese Tribute which recounts his colourful experiences working for the Maritime Customs Service. Quarto. Original brown pebble-grain cloth title to spine in gilt sides ruled in blind edges sprinkled red. A little rubbed and marked overall tips bumped with light wear edges slightly dusty offsetting to endpapers touch of foxing to contents else bright. A very good copy indeed. hardcover‎
