COMMUNIST-NATIONALIST CIVIL WAR IN CHINA.
Jiao fei yi nian "One Year Spent Suppressing the Bandits".
Guizhou: Junqu zhengzhi bu 1951. Military might. and terror First edition first printing of this internally circulated report on operations undertaken in Guizhou province by the People's Liberation Army. After Chiang Kai-Shek evacuated to Taiwan in early 1949 remnants of his forces in the south-west splintered into different bandit units and mounted a credible threat to the survival of Mao's regime. Of the 1000 copies issued none are located in institutions. In January 1949 Chiang ordered Guizhou's nationalist governor Gu Zhenglun to make the province the final bastion of anti-communist resistance on the mainland. Although Mao proclaimed the founding of a united People's Republic of China in October "the continuing civil war in southwest China pitted ethnic groups local power holders farmers and Nationalist troops against the PLA People's Liberation Army. The occupying army's initial strategy of a rapid military advance leniency and massive grain collection efforts was a recipe for resistance" Brown p. 119. In early 1950 communist cadres and troops withdrew from the majority of the province the party's political control in tatters but a combination of carrot allowing local people to keep more of their agricultural surplus and stick terror eventually brought Guizhou into line. A series of maps demonstrates the oscillating fortunes of anti-communist forces during 1950 Mao's forces being pushed back during the summer months but gaining the decisive upper hand later in the year. Other plans show the grand troop manoeuvres that turned the tide in Beijing's favour. Tables at the end list major battles the names of guerilla organizations and their leaders those leaders killed or captured in the field and those who surrendered. While dated 1950 on the title page the volume was not printed until May 1951. Second and third printings followed in June and July. Octavo.

CHINA STATION.
Naval officer's photographs from a tour of duty.
Hong Kong Weihaiwei Canton and at sea: 1922-27. An album compiled by an officer likely involved with the maintenance and testing of battleships and submarines interspersing photographs taken while on duty with his tourist snapshots and shots of friends. Nine images show vessels from the China Station's fleet of L-Class submarines being put through their paces. The photographs are arranged roughly chronologically and although many are captioned and some show the officer he is unidentified. It commences in 1922 and seven photographs taken onboard the battlecruiser HMS Repulse in the Mediterranean show Repulse and HMS Hood the largest ship in the Royal Navy undergoing full power trials. Photographs taken in China a few years later continue the theme. During the 1920s L-Class submarines served on the station as the Fourth Submarine Flotilla and the album contains photographs of HMS L3 and L4 during trials at Hong Kong in 1926 as well as diving trials for HMS L5. Two photographs taken atop the main body of HMS L2 show it forging ahead at full power. He also records the process of changing the submarine's propellor. A range of images document life in Weihaiwei the base from which British naval power radiated in north China. He has the chance to visit HMS Titania a submarine depot ship and he relaxes at the United Services Club recording the appearance of the grounds and the view from the club out to sea. There is time to play some golf on nearby Liugong Island and visit the Temple of the Four Winds and the Beehive Tombs. He captures for posterity the naval boat race including the "veteran officers' skiff" pulled by Captain later Admiral Robert Henry Taunton Raikes 1885-1953 commander of the Fourth Submarine Flotilla. The sights and sounds of south China similarly beckon. In Canton he visits the waterfront and temples and photographs goods being taken to market and images show him holidaying with friends at Repulse Bay in Hong Kong. Interspersed are other glimpses onto life at sea: Hood's quarterdeck rigged for dancing; a group of pirates captured after they seized and torched the steamship SS Sunning near Hong Kong in late 1926; and cricket on the deck of a cruise ship. Landscape quarto album buff card covers tied with light brown cord through punch holes front cover with black embossed letters within blind-stamped panel 18 stiff card leaves full with 181 tipped-in gelatin silver photographs most c. 85 x 60 mm to 115 x 160 mm short pencil and ink captions. Covers worn couple of old adhesive tape repairs some photographs rather yellowed and aged but still with distinct tones: a very good album. unknown

HYDRO-ENGINEERING IN CHINA - SAVAGE, John Lucian.
Preliminary Report on Yangtze Gorge Project;
United States: Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation 1944. The genesis of the Three Gorges Dam Number 4 of a small number of copies of this report by the engineering mind behind the Hoover Dam on harnessing the mighty Yangtze River for hydroelectric power generation - a vision finally realized over half a century later. We have traced only four other surviving examples all found in institutions. The author John Lucian Savage 1879-1967 was an American civil engineer who became the Chief Designing Engineer at the Bureau of Reclamation in 1924. "In this capacity he designed dams canals and other irrigation-related structures throughout eleven western states the most impressive projects being Hoover - the supreme engineering feat of its day - Grand Coulee Parker and Shasta dams. Because the first three were respectively the highest widest and deepest dams in the world at the time of their construction Savage and his design team developed trial-load analysis for determining actual versus theoretical stresses in arched dams as well as models for determining concrete deterioration land subsidence and increased seismicity caused by the weight of a mammoth dam" ANB. Since the 1930s Savage had been fascinated with both the idea of damming the Yangtze and the prospect of co-operation between the Bureau of Reclamation and the Chinese government. Chiang Kai-Shek's administration was equally keen. Amidst Chinese efforts to repel a Japanese invasion in 1943 the National Resources Commission of Chiang's government invited Savage to China to devise concrete plans - an opportunity Savage described to the State Department as a "signal honor" and "an opportunity to be of service to the valiant people of China" quoted in Rowley & Gahan p. 584. Even as Chinese-Japanese armed engagements raged nearby Savage spent the period from May to November 1944 researching feasibility and necessary administrative and financial arrangements. This resulting report outlines several different plans for constructing a dam reservoir and power plant to generate up to 11 million kilowatts of power 74 million acre feet of water for irrigation and 22 million acre feet of flood storage. Savage projects a final cost of around 1 billion US dollars and annual revenues exceeding 50 million US dollars. The main 98-page technical report is accompanied by his 238-page discussion of four hydro-projects located on important tributaries discussing costings and technical details. The two reports are supported by dozens of technical maps plans and diagrams. Savage's time in China only reinforced his belief in the possibilities of a project unprecedented in its scope and ambition: "The Yangtze Gorge Project is a 'CLASSIC'. It will be of utmost importance to China. It will bring great industrial developments in Central and Western China. It will bring widespread employment. It will bring high standards of living. It will change China from a weak to a strong nation. The Yangtze Gorge Project should be constructed for the benefit of China and the World at large" p. 6. An accompanying typescript letter dated 2 April 1946 from Walker R. Young Chief Engineer in the Bureau of Reclamation confirms that as many as 50 Chinese engineers will soon be available to orchestrate the Yangtze project but also hints at the impact of the Chinese Civil War on the National Resources Commission - the war proved the ultimate undoing of efforts to act on Savage's vision. The letter states that numbered copies of the report are being distributed in preparation for a formal planning conference involving American and Chinese engineers. The number of recipients - nine western engineers - gives a good indication of the report's small circulation. Savage's copy is housed with some of his papers at the National Museum of American History. Copies are also found at the US National Archives the Colorado School of Mines and Purdue University where Savage served as a faculty member. The National Library of China has a version with a Chinese title page - the precise nature of this copy awaits further research. Folio. With 73 large folding maps plans and diagrams. Original black cloth spine lettered in gilt hinges reinforced with brown linen as issued buff endpapers text printed in photostat typescript. Cloth lightly soiled and rubbed internally clean. A fine copy. William D. Rowley & Andrew H. Gahan The Bureau of Reclamation: From Developing to Managing Water 1945-2000 2006. hardcover

SUN, Yat-Sen - REPUBLICAN CHINA.
Zongli feng'an shilu "A True Account of Laying the President to Rest".
Nanjing: Zongli fengan huakan bianzuan weiyuanhui 1929. Bidding China's "National Father" farewell First and only edition and printing of the official commemorative publication for Sun Yat-Sen's state burial distributed as a gift by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Over one hundred photographic illustrations record the elaborate multi-day ceremony and the appearance of Sun's mausoleum; these are accompanied by several folding architectural plans. Loosely inserted is the ministry's printed presentation card. Following Sun's death on 12 March 1925 the Kuomintang formed a 12-man committee tasked with overseeing the construction of a massive mausoleum on Mount Zijin in Nanjing. The stakes were high: amidst the breakdown of the Kuomintang's relations with the Chinese Communist Party and Chiang Kai-Shek's tightening grip on the party-state exerting control over Sun's legacy and image was paramount. The design of the site was opened to public tender the committee requiring the winning design to combine traditional Chinese styles with modern concepts of adaptive architecture. The winning architect Lu Yanzhi 1894-1929 died before construction finished and his vision was seen through to completion by his colleague Poy Gum Lee 1900-1968. Lu and Poy's American training is reflected in such design elements as the layout of the site which draws on the Mall in Washington and the Liberty Bell and the design of a statue of Sun seated in Lincoln-esque fashion. In spring 1929 the internment ceremony began with the transfer of Sun's body from Beiping to Nanjing on a special train named the "Soul Train" in Chinese. "The transfer was designed as a long drawn-out mobile media event that was to spiritually mobilize modernize and unify the population around the spirit and body of Sun Yat-sen". The internment ceremony held on 1 June 1929 after the body had lain in state for three days was a lavish and highly regulated spectacle. The body was escorted by a 3-mile-long procession to the echoes of a 101-gun salute from a gunboat moored on the Yangtze River. At midday as Song Qingling and Sun Ke Sun's wife and son closed the metal door on the tomb the ceremony closed with a national three-minutes silence. This is the most important printed record of one of 20th-century China's defining political events. The majority of copies are now housed in institutional collections and we have traced no others in commerce. Accompanying this copy are two contemporary typescript translations into English of the book's captions. Large octavo. With 73 plates 4 collotype and 35 half-tone plates 7 maps and plans 6 folding ornate title page after calligraphy by Han Minjing. Original lavish silk brocade lettered in gold orange thread xianzhuang stitching spine and covers lined with tan silk. With original blue cloth folding case xylographic label on front panel reproducing calligraphy by Chiang Kai-Shek lined with decorative blue paper bone toggles. Brocade bright some losses to silk on spine rear cover silk lining worn and feathering where sometime damp text and illustrations very well preserved one folding plan with small hole not affecting printed area: a very good copy the binding having lost none of its lustre in very good case with rubbing a little soiling and cockling to lining.

[CHINA - PHOTOGRAPHY - CHINESE REVOLUTION].
War scenes of the Chinese Revolution book 1.
Shanghai: Commercial Press Limited 1912. Oblong 8vo 15 x 22.5 cm. Original publisher's orange-brown pictorial cloth marbled endpapers. 160 black-and-white photographs all protected by tissue paper guards. First and only edition of a very rare work with photographic illustrations of the Chinese Revolution of 1911 with captions in Chinese and English. It was published specifically for circulation in the West and consists of 14 parts. The present work contains the first 4. However any volume in this series is exceptionally rare as we have not been able to find another copy in sales records of the past 100 years.The Chinese Revolution of 1911 is an important event in Chinese history as it resulted in the establishment of the Republic of China. The Revolution was preceded by decade of revolts since Chinese citizens had already been dissatisfied with the rule of the Qing dynasty 1636-1912 for some time. The Revolution started in October 1911 with the Wuchang Uprising after which similar revolts broke out across the country. The Qing court then initiated negotiations with the revolutionaries. Both parties came to the agreement that the emperor who was just 6-years old had to abdicate in February 1912. Revolutionary statesman Sun Yat-Sen 1866-1925 became the first provisional president.The present work offers an authentic pictorial record of the first revolts. The work contains numerous portraits of important leaders of the Revolution and members of the Qing court grim photographic illustrations of the battlefields in Wuchang now the Wuchang District of Wuhan and Hankow or Hankou and images of the attack on Nanking now Nanjing including the preparations and the aftermath.The binding shows very slight signs of wear the gutters of the front and back endpapers are weakened causing the binding to be wobbly but the boards are still attached. The tissue paper between the photographic illustrations has browned throughout. Otherwise in very good condition.l WorldCat 891342401 2 copies. Commercial Press, Limited, hardcover

[SUFFRAGETTE CHINA].
Original Cup Saucer & Side Plate
<p><em>Cup saucer and side plate; white china has strikingly clean straight lines and is rimmed in dark green with a green handle to the cup each piece carries the motif designed by Sylvia Pankhurst of the 'angel of freedom' blowing her trumpet and flying the banner of 'Freedom in the background are the initials 'WSPU' set against dark prison bars surrounded by the thistle shamrock and rose and dangling chains; the cup has one minor hairline crack otherwise all pieces are in fine condition.</em></p><p>Rare survival of an original Suffragette cup saucer and side plate complete with the 'Angel of Freedom' designed by Sylvia Pankhurst. Initially for use in the refreshment room of the Prince's Skating Rink Exhibition and then sold in aid of funds.</p><p>The Women's Exhibition of 1909 all but forgotten today was a tipping point in women's struggle for equal rights. The event was open to both sexes and cleverly calculated to show men that suffragettes were not the dangerous 'shrieking sisterhood' they were painted but were in fact the wives mothers and sisters they knew women safely interested in the same female pursuits they always had been women dedicated to creating beautiful things not destroying them.</p><p>'The winged angel logo was repeated on almost all promotional material. It was especially striking on the elegant white tea service specially commissioned from a pottery in Staffordshire used in the traditional tea and refreshment room during the exhibition and for sale after the event. Commemorative china was a relatively new idea and this early understanding of branding as a way of advertising was a key element of the exhibition's success making the WSPU one of the first campaign groups to understand the significance of logos' http://annesebba.com/journalism/the-womens-exhibition-of-1909/</p>
