Picture Map of China. 中國地圖
New York.: Friendship Press. 1932. Wall-sized pictorial map 37 1/4 x 48 1/2 inches on sheet 38 1/4 x 49 3/4 inches 97.5 x 126 cm originally folded now archivally mounted on linen. Evidence of some minor chipping to folds now minimsed. Color pencil additions to the map outlining two regions. A good example of the scarce 1932 pictorial map of China by Frank Randolph Southard published by Friendship Press the publishing arm of the National Council of Churches in New York. The map was designed as a teaching tool in classrooms and in this vein the added color on the copy offered here delineates a section of northeast China and a large swath of western China. The map is on a scale of 1:16000000. The outside border of the map shows various Chinese symbols such as the yinyang the wheel of law the pearl long life etc. The inner border shows scenes of life in China: at home at work at school in the street. The map itself is quite schematic showing elevation pictorially rivers major cities. Listed in WorldCat at only three libraries the scarcity of this map is no doubt due to its size and its practical application. A handsome map with much interesting commentary on the Western view of China in the years before World War II. . Friendship Press. unknown

CHINA BEIJING SUMMER OLYMPICS
One World One Dream - Beijing Olympic Venues.
Beijing.: Press Commission of the Chinese Olympic Committee. 2007. Very large wall calendar for 2007 16 x 21 inches printed on high quality paper featuring twelve color illustrations of venues presumably most under construction for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Text on cover page reads "One World One Dream - Beijing Olympic Venues" with similar identification in Chinese. Each building is identified in multiple languages beneath a 10 x 19 inch artist rendering of the site. This high quality calendar is in excellent clean condition. Evidently uncommon: no WorldCat listing. The sites depicted are in order in which they appear and as they are identified on the calendar: National Stadium widely known as the Bird’s Nest National Aquatics Centre Beijing Shooting Range Hall Laoshan Velodrome Wukesong Indoor Stadium. National Indoor Stadium Shunyi Olympic Rowing-Canoeing Park China Agricultural University Gymnasium Peking University Gymnasium Beijing Science and Technology University Beijing University of Technology Gymnasium Quingdao International Sailing Marina at Fushan Bay. Evidently many of these venues were abandoned following the Summer Olympics components salvaged or the sites left to they elements and recent photos provide an eerie footnote to the 2008 summer competitions and their purpose-built venues. .
