‎Saishin Manshu shaschincho. The latest Manchuria Photograph Album.‎

‎Dailian Dairen Port Arthur China: Osaka Shosen Steamship Co. Wakayama Showa 7 1931. Landscape octavo 128 x 173 mm. Original brown crocodile-skin-effect pictorial cloth image of the White Jade Tower Port Arthur the Japanese Russo-Japanese War memorial to front board cord-ties yapp edges orange endpapers. With 87 photographic colour-tinted and colour plates one of them a duplicate all but one with tissue-guard folding coloured pictorial route map titled "A Trip in Manchuria"; caption text in Japanese and English. A little rubbed lacks rear free endpaper a couple of leaves with short splits remains very good. Fourth annual printing of this extremely uncommon photographic propaganda piece extolling the attractions and rapid development of Manchuria issued in the year before the declaration of the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo. No copies of this printing located in OCLC which lists a copy of the 1932 issue in BnF a 1938 issue at Princeton and a 1943 version at Harvard. The "narrative" of the album opens with views of the port at Dailian the docking of Osaka Shosen Steamships views around the city the South Manchurian Railway Company headquarters electric trolley-buses bustling street scenes the Manchurian Railway Company Hospital and numerous Russo-Japanese memorials and battlefields. Features numerous photos of tourist spots such as the hot springs at Xiongyue and Tang-kang-tzu; the White Tower of Liaoyang; picturesque transportation by covered wagon to the walled cities; sites in and around Mukden including its "China Town" the old city walls palaces temples and tombs. Other images are more revealing of the pervasive Japanese influence on the region: the Japanese Army barracks near Tieling; the garrison and base at Changchun "north terminal of the South Manchurian Railway Â… one of the most important places for Japanese policy in Manchuria and Mongolia"; views of Harbin "Monument of the Two Patriots in the suburbs of Kharbin sic"; together with numerous images of the Japanese-controlled industrial and infrastructural developments in the region. Fascinating insight into the process of Japanese territorial assimilation in China and issued on the eve of the Japanese Kwangtung Army group's seizure of Manchukuo a puppet state that survived until the Soviet invasion of Manchuria in August 1945 which in turn contributed to the surrender of Japan and the end of the Second World War.

‎AN ALBUM OF PHOTOGRAPHS OF CHINA 1904-1906. Includes American Diplomats in Chi‎

‎China 1904-1906. Half red leather over marbled boards recent binding gold-stamped very good 35 x 27.5 cm. all edge gilt most gone 18 stiff leaves 166 b.w. photos one pencil drawing one post card one photo cut outvery clean. . . . AMERICAN "DOUGH BOYS" IN CHINA 1927 . . . DURING THE FIRST REVOLUTIONARY WAR . . THE FOUNDING OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY This excellent primary record was begun July 1904 and ended with the last photo caption dated June-August 1906. The work is an exceptionally clean example with meticulous captions clear and bright images of varying sizes. The smallest is 6 x 4.5 cm. ca 10 each up to 23.5 x 17 cm. for the largest. With a large number of intermediary sizes in between. . The captions are in both English & Italian and a mix of both languages carefully identifying the place & person photographed. From the kind of photographs and people in these its is easy to deduce that this album was likely made by an Italian officer assigned as part of the protective foreign force for the Italian Embassy and diplomatic corps as guards. Assigned to China to continue to protect after the Boxer uprising they protected both the foreign diplomatic community and their families. A good number of these are of Peking and of their excursions around China. . Visits to Shan-Fan-Shan temple photos of a friend who was in Seoul Korea riding a rickshaw photos of some American military officers: ie "Lieut. Clark & Capt. Brewster Commandant of the Peking U.S. Delegation guard Lieutenant. Clark" et al. Polo on the Peking Polo grounds Pei-Tai-ho beach one lovely one of "Casa di mia Isabella; next obviously a photo of the album's maker and Italian who freely associated freely with his American counterparts in the military & diplomatic corps. . A lovely pencil sketch of Francesco Rospidliosi perhaps the creator of this album dated August 1903. Peking race track grandstand "Variag" Chemulko Korea: view of a belly-up ship in Korea another dated April 1904 shows various diplomats: "Ministro d'Augustine.Mr. Uchida.do of Peking." dragon boat in Shanghai three great photos of horse-mounted officers with caption and date "Warriors. 1904 Peking & Huang Ts'un" and their horses. . January 1905 the album continues with photos of the soldiers in Peking their pet dog horses wagons Chinese grooms &c. Then a lovely and grand size group photo some in military uniform others in civilian clothes diplomats most with long boots dated "March 1905" most with Italian names except for one penciled at the far right: "Swanton" and two women. Names appear above and below the photo which is 23.5 x 17 cm. Next 2 page show horse racing honor guards in formation "April 1905" going to church photos of Peking race horses and their foreign mounts "May 1905." Next pair of pages show a "September 1905 Trip to the Great Wall with Mrs. Brewster & Miss Brewster at Sha-ho Chinese hotel Nan-ko Pass Mrs. David at Peitai-ho" and along the way to the Great wall with stunning photos of the impressive and grand size "First Gate." Their horse-drawn stage coach-like "wagon" straight out of the old American West ! Photos of three foreign children "Peking 1905." On the next page more of the Great Wall excursion: Capt. & Mrs. Brewster along side the Great Wall & of course photos from on top of the Great wall all nicely dated ! Next set show more on the Great Wall and "Coming back without Toda and a superb photo of the album compiler mounted on horseback with "doggie" standing at attention ! . The next pair shows Shanghai naval officer and horse wagon another of two foreign children in a large Jinriksha in Peking 1905 with another of the children in great fur coats. Postcard of the Wuta-su Temple of Seven Pagodas Peking. More horse-mounted photos Peking race course. . The next page shows some important and spectacular photos. "Miss Roosevelt Eleanor wife of President Franklin D. Roosevelt who held that office from 1933 to 1945 Capt. Diconard Military Attach� USA Mr. Rockhill U.S. Minister please inquire with us to see if we have some of his important books on Tibet in stock Mr. Cooledge First American Legation Miss Roosevelt Chinaman.Peking Sept. 1905. These great people are greeted by a group of Chinese Imperial Mandarins wearing special hats and long white gowns. Another of "Miss Roosevelt M. Mrs. di Almeida Capt. Pringle Peking 1905." . Then a larger and quite stunning photo of Italian Naval officers.and Americans: "Mrs. Brewster Commandant Cipriani Miss Brewster Guardia della Degarione d'Italia.Capitano BrewsterAmerican." all seated before a great Fu Dog for a camera pose. . The album continues then a rather sad photo of the "Portion of the remains of the French Catholic Mission residence of La Varche & Ma-murdered Nan Chang March 1906" & "Kinghams chapel in background.burnt house is right around March 1906." Adjacent to this is "Ring leader of attack on Kingham's house Han Chang March 1906." . Next 2 pages show more ruined church with "corner of house in which Mr. & Mrs. Kingham and the little daughter Gracie .they were beaten to death in this corner-blood stains March 1906." Next shows "Four men who conducted murder torture having taken part in the murder of the Kinghams and burning of their mission March 1906" shows four Chinese handcuffed to a steel ring around their necks. We now learn the true level of danger for foreigners in China and the reason for the foreign troops to give protection to the innocents murdered by Chinese. . The next page shows an inspection of the palace by Capt. Lynne Doct. Dawe H.M. Tripe at Han Chang March 1906.

Other pages show H.M.S. Clarity the Han river ."with daddy & Miss Hart June 1906" and other ship and harbor views. Next shows a great French cruiser "Descartes" at Kiukiang Kiukiang Bund Commissioner's garden Festa del Dragones dragon boats country walks with Mrs. Lay et al. The album ends with June-August 1906 dated photos rest at "Bungalow" in Kiu Kiang. Where they visited with British administrators and missionaries. . Rare insight to the diplomatic world of foreigners stationed in China at the turn-of-the century. Fascinating primary resource. There are very few albums that cover this rare aspect of life in China from the higher social structure of foreign diplomats and military people. Keen insights to the life and customs of the privileged people. . . hardcover‎
