‎Ravenholt Albert: China‎

‎ARCHIVE OF MATERIAL RELATING TO THE CHINESE CIVIL WAR AND POST-WAR CHINA 1944 - 1954 COMPILED BY JOURNALIST ALBERT RAVENHOLT DESCRIBING THE POLITICAL MILITARY ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL SITUATION IN CHINA AND THE COUNTRY'S FUTURE‎

‎Various places in China 1954. Twenty-five letters thirty-three interviews forty-nine press releases forty-four reports thirteen publications two photos one business card. In all one linear foot of material. Various paginations as described below. Occasional manuscript corrections to text all annotations are noted in list below. Occasional toning or rumpling to paper. In very good condition. A substantial and important archive of primary source material collected by United Press war correspondent Albert Ravenholt including his reportage interviews notes collections of press releases and periodicals from a decade spent reporting from China during World War II the Chinese Civil War and the early years of the Cold War. Ravenholt's archive provides an unparalleled firsthand view into the political economic military international and social forces at work in China from the waning years of World War II into the Cold War and the control of the country by the Chinese Communist Party. The great majority of material in this archive consists of unique unpublished material gathered by Ravenholt in the course of his reporting in China gathered on the scene over the course of a decade. Excerpts from the interviews that he conducted and the reports he gathered were used to create his stories but this archive presents his research materials in their unedited complete form. Apart from its use in his journalism it is to our knowledge unexamined and unstudied. The collection includes correspondence and interviews conducted by Ravenholt with figures in Chinese political military and economic affairs from both the Chinese Nationalist and Communist sides of the conflict as well as with American military and business leaders. The collection also contains a great amount of material gathered by Ravenholt over the course of a decade spent in China including press releases propaganda both anti- and pro-Communist American military directives reports on Chinese industry and the prospects and proposals for its reconstruction considerations of American business opportunities in China and much more. In all the Ravenholt archive presents the entire spectrum of the issues at work in a country occupied by Japan and then fighting for its future at the dawn of the Cold War. Albert Ravenholt 1919-2010 was born in rural Wisconsin to Danish immigrants and was drawn to journalism from an early age. After high school he found a job as a cook on a Swedish freighter bringing timber to the Asia. He landed in Shanghai and noting that Japan was already at war with China did not reboard. Following the U.S. declaration of war on Japan Ravenholt volunteered with the International Red Cross to lead medical relief convoys into the Chinese interior. In 1942 recovering from a bought of dysentery he got his first reporting job working for the United Press as a war correspondent covering China India and Burma. In 1945 he became U.P. Bureau Chief for China and India and later a fellow at the Institute of Current World Affairs stationed in Peking until the Chinese Communist Party CCP overthrow. After the end of the Chinese Civil War Ravenholt returned to the Institute of Current World Affairs and was a founding member of the American Universities Field Service an apprenticeship program organized by several American colleges and universities to send qualified students out as foreign correspondents. Ravenholt also continued his research and writing throughout Asia and maintained a second home in the Philippines. The bulk of this extensive collection focuses on the economic situation in China immediately following Japan's surrender in August 1945. This includes reconstruction of financial systems and national infrastructure but also restoring Chinese control to industries taken over by Japanese occupiers and codifying Chinese autonomy over foreign especially American investments in China. While there is not extensive combat reporting during the Chinese Civil War interviews and press releases from both the anti-Communist Chinese Nationalist Kuomintang and the CCP reveal sharp tensions over who is best suited to guide China's future. The format of paper sizes in this archive varies although there are consistencies in sizes of paper per publisher or creator. Most of Ravenholt's typed reports are on onion skin. His notes and reportage were typed or written on any available paper. The CCP issuing press releases from Yenan used a mimeograph machine that regularly printed significantly off-center. Those leaves often appear hand-cut as though rudimentary print-shop equipment was lacking. Press releases issued by the Republic of China Kuomintang of China or KMT in the wartime capital of Chungking are more refined but still feature blotchy ink and paper of varying quality. Paper was scarce in China during the war years and afterwards. Materials are sorted into six sections Correspondence; Interviews; Press Releases Propaganda and U.S. Military Directives; Business and Industry; Miscellaneous Notes and Reports; Publications and then listed chronologically within each section. A fascinating behind-the-scenes glimpse into the work of one of the most important journalists covering the emergence of modern China. A complete inventory of the approximately 150 items in the archive is available upon request. Stephen R.

‎CHINA Canton School‎

‎Album of exceptional watercolours of members of the Chinese court and of various tradesmen and occupations‎

‎Canton 1800. Large 4to. 15 x 12 1/2 inches. 141 watercolours on thin paper nearly all captioned in ink in Chinese in the lower right corner each tipped to a sheet of wove paper. A few repaired tears. Mid-nineteenth century citron half morocco over marbled paper covered boards spine with raised bands in six compartments lettered in gilt in the second compartment the others with a repeat decoration in gilt marbled edges Provenance: Lady Anne Cowdray Dunecht House Aberdeenshire armorial bookplate An extraordinary album of early Chinese export watercolours of the highest quality. Beginning in the late 18th century centred on the treaty port of Canton there existed a thriving trade in ethnographical watercolours executed by local Chinese artists and sold to the western merchants and travellers. The best known result of this trade is William Mason's Costume of China first published in London in 1800 which is illustrated with 60 hand-coloured aquatints adapted from a series of original watercolours by Pu-Qua of Canton. It was common for the local artists including Pu-Qua to work from a set series of models. The present album includes a number of compositions that are from the same set of models as those used by Pu-Qua but they include more detail and more of the trade-associated paraphernalia than are shown in the images as published in Mason's work. This suggests that they were not copied from Mason but were after another more detailed source or were unique compositions by the artist based on a similar series of models. Importantly these watercolours are of a uniformly higher quality than usually encountered and represent not only a wide-array of occupations but also members of the highest echelon of Chinese society. The detailing on the costumes worn by these members of the royal court is breathtaking with copious use of gilt. Later collections of Chinese export watercolors were routinely executed on less expensive pith paper whereas the present watercolours are on high quality tissue and are larger in size than those typically encountered. The album represents an earlier more prestigious style of export watercolor paintings specifically meant for wealthy Europeans. These are Chinese watercolors of the highest quality designed and executed to the highest standards. The album was once owned by Annie Pearson Viscountess Cowdray 1881-1931 Steward of Colchester and wife of Lord Weetman Dickinson Pearson 1st Viscount Cowdray. Cf. Crossman The China Trade Princeton: 1972; cf. Clunas Chinese Export Watercolours London: 1984. unknown‎
