China; Fireworks
Collection of 16 Chinese Firework package decorations for the firm Fat Shan Lai Wo Cheong
Guangdong China 1910. Ephemera. Very good condition. Attractive Chinese firework labels with the manufacturers name 'Fat Shan Lai Wo Cheong' printed with a red rubber stamp on the verso of most. According to the description of a group of labels held by the MOA at the University of British Columbia they were made in Guangzhou Guandong and Canton China between 1850 and 1910. 17 elaborate foil and tissue or paper backed labels with colorful hand painted illustrations of men women and children flowers butterflies ranging in shapes and sizes 3x1.5" to 7.5x7.5" to 10.5 x 5". Detailed scenes of people dressed in robes with curtains and flowers surrounding them and interesting facial expressions. "Gold labels were handmade in workshops using assembly line techniques. Artisans first cut out the labels' overall shape from bronze or copper foil. Next they apply a thin rice paper backing to strengthen the foil. To texturize the foil the artisans used pointed tools to emboss designs. These sheets were pinned to a wall or table so that several painters could work on them. The backgrounds would be painted first followed by the details in the foreground using smaller brushes. During the last application even finer brushes were used for the facial features and calligraphy. Some shiny areas of the original bronze or copper foil were left exposed. It was also common to add a layer of gold leaf designs pressed out of hand-carved wooden blocks to further accentuate the design. Firecrackers were and are used to ward off evil spirits honor deities and to celebrate special occasions. Manufacturers and merchants would order bulk firecrackers pack them into wooden crates and decorate the crates with these labels to entice potential distributors and consumers."

Brewer & Co are recorded in a 1904 edition of "The Directory and Chronicle for China ." as being located at 31 Nanking Road.<br /> <br /> The author who signs his postcards "D" is evidently a Shanghai photographer: he writes that he worked until 10 o'clock the previous night on the photographs but worries that there is something wrong with the plates. "There are a great many little holes in them -- some not so little. But I think there ought to be a few good results." There is a D.

Ancestry. <br /> <br /> Two are signed with the initial "D" the third signed "L. Ross".

China 1930. Very good overall. An example of student's work from the Oberlin Shansi Memorial Schools an accordion book with the label "Made in China By the students of the Self Help Club of the Oberlin Shansi Memorial Schools J'aiku Shansi China" inside the front board at the back. <br /> <br /> In 1881 the Oberlin Graduate School of Theology decided to form “The Oberlin Band†to do mission work in China’s then remote Shansi Province now romanized as “Shanxi†under the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions ABCFM. In 1900 thirteen of them and many Chinese Christians were killed in the Taiyuan Massacre during the Boxer Uprising. The school continues to this day. <br /> <br /> Accordion book 4 1/4 x 6 3/4" with yellow & red tassel marker and slipcase with yellow & red applied design on the front. A child has illustrated the word "Animal" inside the back page. A rather undeveloped attempt at making a book and case but one must start somewhere. Most likely a fund raising effort. The date of 1930 is a guesstimate which could be wildly incorrect. unknown

Mandarin He Sing of the Chinese Junk". Signature with period caption
New York 1847. Ephemera. Very good condition. Signature of crew member of the 'Keying' the first ship from China ever to dock in New York City identified as "the Mandarin: He Sing Xi Sheng". The ship moored off the Battery in Manhattan in July 1847 much to the anger of the crew which had signed on for a voyage to Singapore and Batavia only. However the ship was a smashing success with 4000 visitors paying 25 cents each to board the vessel and gaze at the crew and ship. P.T. Barnum got in on the action by exhibiting a replica and claiming some of the crew were the original Chinese. 'Keying' sailed on to Boston and London and was noted in the press as the first junk to round the Cape of Good Hope or to have sailed in British waters. He Sing was still on board: "The ROYAL CHINESE JUNK "KEYING" manned by a Chinese Crew. Visitors received by a Mandarin of rank and Chinese Artist of celebrity. The Illustrated London News 29 July 1848. He Sing's signature in black ink on blue card with period pen inscription on white paper below "Mandarin He Sing of the Chinese Junk". with Clipping from the Illustrated London News showing a "Chinese Banner" with an invitation to readers to assist in its translation an early version of crowd sourcing.
