‎[Shanghai and the Xinhai Revolution].‎

‎Photograph album. Shanghai, early 20th century.‎

‎Oblong folio (362 x 274 mm). Contemporary block-bound silk album of 111 photographs. Various sizes; largest 212 x 155 mm. A photograph album comprising 111 personal photographs of Shanghai, including several images of battleships, various English-language shop signs for local businesses (such as "Hsing Loong Carpenter Mason and Painter"), and 12 photographs showing the burial procession of the mother of Shanghai businessman Pau Ching Po. Also, there are several photographs of the 1911 Xinhai Revolution in Shanghai: in November 1911, Shanghai citizens organised a rebellion and captured the city, establishing the Shanghai military on 8 November that same year. The photographs offered here depict the uprising in the streets as well as scenes of destroyed homes and weapons used when taking the city. The revolution resulted in the overthrow of the last imperial monarchy in China and the establishment of the Republic of China in 1912. - Also includes images of the German Theatre at the Lyceum, founded in 1930 as an amateur dramatics society, a photograph of Prince Adalbert of Prussia (1884-1948) at the Club Concordia in 1904 laying the foundation stone to the new German Club in Shanghai, and three photographs of the wedding of Wilhelm Knappe (1855-1910), the German Consul General in Shanghai from 1899 to 1906. - Very well preserved. Provenance: From the collection of Johannes Gottfried William Schröder (1870-1942). Born in India, the brother of the German poet Rudolf Alexander Schröder grew up in Bremen, trained as a merchant and visited India, China, Japan, and America. He established his own business in Shanghai in 1906. His intimate knowledge of East Asia led him to embrace the philosophy of anthroposophy.‎

‎[Siam - Thailand]. McFarland, Samuel Gamble, ed.‎

‎Siamese hymnal. Phetchaburi (in Thailand), Samuel Gamble McFarland, 1876.‎

‎8vo. 148 pp. (collates: [1]2 2-194 = 74 ff.). With western round-head letterpress music notation, a decorated rule on the title-page and each page in a frame of rules. Set in Thai type with incidental roman and the place of publication in a decorative textura. This copy with the letterpress presentation slip on blue paper tipped in (from McFarland and his wife), for people who contributed to the project. Contemporary half tanned sheepskin, sewn on 3 recessed cords, gold dotted fillets on spine, bubble-grain grey-brown cloth sides, probably bound for presentation. Very rare first edition (first issue) of McFarland's Thai (Siamese) hymnal, one of the first books printed by the mission press at Phetchaburi (Petchabury) in Thailand, with the 86 hymns selected by donors who contributed at least five dollars for the production of the hymnal. Each hymn appears on a single double-page spread (with the music at the head of the left page) except the last, whose text continues on nine additional pages. The texts of the hymns themselves appear only in Thai, but the title, introductory note and hymn titles also appear in English and each hymn gives the name of the person or organisation that selected it in English only. Some of the donors who selected the hymns lived in Thailand (both Europeans and natives) but most lived in the United States. Each hymn also indicates the metre, either with abbreviations for the common, long, short, hallelujah or particular metre, or with an indication of the number of syllables per line. The music was apparently set and electrotyped by J.M. Armstrong in Philadelphia and the electrotype blocks shipped to Phetchaburi for printing, for the Newberry Library copy of the second issue has a manuscript note "Music typography by J.M. Armstrong, Philadelphia, Pa." (Armstrong advertised his services for music typesetting and electrotyping at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition). - The first European book printed in Thai type is said to be Jean Baptiste Pallegoix's 1854 Thai dictionary (with Latin, French and English translations) by the Imprimerie Impériale in Paris, but missionaries printed Thai books in Asia decades earlier. The Missionary George H. Hough set up a printing office in Yangon (Rangoon), Burma, where he had Thai type made and used it in 1819. His materials were taken to the mission press in Calcutta soon after. Claudius Henry Thomsen of the London Missionary Society brought a printing press to Singapore in 1822 and operated it with another missionary, Samuel Milton, who brought a fount of Thai type from the Calcutta mission, along with a set of matrices to cast more. Thomsen sold the press and materials to the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) in 1834 and John Taylor Jones printed Thai for them there in 1835. The ABCFM missionary Dan Bradley took one press and the Thai type to Bankok in July 1835 and produced Thailand's first printing with Thai type in 1836, and Jones moved there to take charge of the press. The Thai King Mongkut (Rama IV)'s interest in printing features in the musical "The King and I", based on Anna Leonowens's 1870 memoires. In 1861 Samuel McFarland, Daniel McGilvary and their wives set up the first Thai mission outside Bankok at Phetchaburi, where McFarland printed the present hymnal in 1876 (he is said to have printed a dictionary in 1866). A second edition appeared in 1885 and the fifth and last in 1920. - We have located five other copies of the 1876 edition. The four recorded in WorldCat have 181 pages, but the Pittsburg Theological Seminary has a second copy that has 148 pages, like the present copy. The preliminary note explicitly says the hymnal includes 86 hymns and they are all present, and there is no evidence that any leaves ever followed page 148, so the additional leaves sometimes included were probably added after copies had been distributed to donors. They probably add further hymns or possibly some other supplementary text. The presentation slip for the donors notes that the hymnal is already being used by the missionaries' congregations, so the present copy probably shows the book as the Thai people first saw it. Cf.

‎[Soviet General Staff Maps] - China 1:1,000,000.‎

‎General'nyí shtab. (China 1:1,000,000). [Moscow, General Staff], 1971-1989.‎

‎A total of 25 topographic maps, colour-printed, ca. 57 x 59.5 cm - 58 x 66.5 cm. Constant ratio linear horizontal scale. In Russian (Cyrillic). The Soviet Union's 1:1,000,000 General Staff map quadrangles showing China: from the Russian series of maps produced during the Cold War, based on high-quality satellite imagery, but usually also ground reconnaissance. While there are a few lacunae mostly concerning central China, the South ranging from Myanmar to Fuzhou and parts of the East Coast including Nantong and Beijing are well covered. Assembled continuously, the quadrangles would form an enormous map spanning more than 5 x 6.5 metres!. - Products of a massive, clandestine cartographic project begun under Stalin and ultimately encompassing the entire globe, the Soviet General Staff maps are today noted for their extreme precision. Indeed, even in post-Soviet times they provide the most reliable mapping for many remoter parts of the world: "Soviet-era military maps were so good that when the United States first invaded Afghanistan in late 2001, American pilots relied on old Russian maps of Afghanistan. For almost a month after the United States began a bombing campaign to help oust the Taliban government, American pilots were guided by Russian maps dating back to the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s" (Davies/Kent, p. xi). - Although the details of the cartographic programme evolved over the decades, its overall system and plan remained remarkably constant. "The basic quadrangle is the 1:1,000,000 sheet spanning 4° latitude by 6° longitude. The quadrangles are identified by lettered bands north from the equator and by numbered zones east from longitude 180° [...] Each 1:1,000,000 sheet is subdivided into four 1:500,000 sheets (from northwest to southeast), labeled [by] the first four letters of the Russian alphabet" (ibid., p. 19-21). "Printing such large-format plans in so many colors with near-perfect print registration itself testifies to the skill of the printers in the military map printing factories across the former Soviet Union. The quality of printing reflects the level of training and the reliability of humidity-control equipment and the electricity supply at the time" (ibid., p. 6f.). Although the details of the cartographic programme evolved over the decades, its overall system and plan remained remarkably constant.

‎[Soviet General Staff Maps] - China 1:500,000.‎

‎General'nyí shtab. (China 1:500,000). [Moscow, General Staff], 1970-1989.‎

‎A total of 108 topographic maps, colour-printed, ca. 52.5 x 57.5 cm - 56 x 68.5 cm. Constant ratio linear horizontal scale. In Russian (Cyrillic). The Soviet Union's 1:500,000 General Staff map quadrangles showing China: from the Russian series of maps produced during the Cold War, based on high-quality satellite imagery, but usually also ground reconnaissance. While central and southern China are well covered, ranging from Myanmar over Hongkong to Hefei, and far Western quadrangles include parts of Kashmir, a few quadrangles of the East coast and the far North are lacking. Assembled continuously, the quadrangles would form an enormous map spanning roughly 10 x 15 metres!. - Products of a massive, clandestine cartographic project begun under Stalin and ultimately encompassing the entire globe, the Soviet General Staff maps are today noted for their extreme precision.

‎[Sri Lanka].‎

‎Manuscript map of the interior of Ceylon. [Kandy, Ceylon?, ca. 1815].‎

‎Drawn in watercolour and pen on laid paper, mounted on contemporary linen (310 x 475 mm). (Bound in): Fellowes, Robert ("Philalethes"). The history of Ceylon, from the earliest period to the Year MDCCCXV; with characteristic details of the religion, laws, & manners of the people and a collection of their moral maxims & ancient proverbs ... To which is subjoined Robert Knox's historical relation of the island, with an account of his captivity during a period of near twenty years ... (With): Knox, Robert. An historical relation of the Island of Ceylon in the East Indies: together with an account of the detaining in captivity the author, and divers other Englishmen now living there; and of the author's miraculous escape. London, Joseph Mawman, 1817. 4to. 2 parts in one. XXII, 341; (1), VIII, 383 pp. With a folding engraved map of Sri Lanka by J. Smith, dated 1816, mounted on contemporary linen, an engraved portrait of Knox by Smith, dated 1816, and 15 engraved plates. Contemporary half calf with gold-tooled spine, marbled edges, marbled endpapers. Manuscript map of the middle third of the island of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), made before any detailed map of this area had been published. Bound in a book containing the first edition of Fellowes's history of Sri Lanka, published together with a then-current edition of Robert Knox's own account of his stay in Sri Lanka (first edition 1681). - The manuscript map provides great detail for inland Sri Lanka, ranging from Puttalam (upper left) to Kalutara (lower left) and from Batticaloa (upper right) to Kataragama (lower right). This area spans several provinces, including the ancient Kingom of Kandy, showing many roads, towns and villages in great detail, especially around the city of Kandy. The various provinces are distinguished by colour. The map is contemporary with the book, made on English paper watermarked "G L Paine 1813", indicating George Leeds Paine of Kent (cf. Shorter 1971, p. 198). The map thus dates between 1813 and 1817, the period leading up to the last armed conflict between the British colonial government and the Kingdom of Kandy, which resulted in the final defeat of Kandy and the British seizing control of the entire island. - The first part of the book has several manuscript annotations in the same hand as the manuscript map, primarily concerning the bureaucracy and administration of the Kingdom of Kandy. Several corrections are written in the margins of chapter LVI (Offices, Casts and Miscellaneous Particulars), and the list of Singhalese sovereigns on the last page of the first work is expanded in manuscript up to the year 1815, ending with: "The English government established 2 March 1815 - Esto perpetua (may it always be so)". There is no owner's inscription, but the person who drew the map and added the annotations was evidently an Englishman with special interest in Kandy, and the notes, the paper and the circumstances suggest a British officer with a knowledge of the Singhalese language and cartography stationed in Kandy at the time of its capture. - In 1821 John Davy published his new map of Sri Lanka, which for the first time showed especially fine detail in the area around Kandy. No earlier map provided detailed information on the topography of the interior of Sri Lanka, as only the coastal areas were well documented. The present manuscript map is therefore a very early - or maybe even the first - attempt to record the topography of the interior. It was a forerunner to Davy's map and might have provided Davy with information, lending it great importance for the history of Sri Lankan cartography. - Several manuscript corrections in ink in the margins of the first work and several faded annotations in pencil in the margins of the second work. Folding engraved map foxed and first title-page slightly foxed. Spine repaired. The manuscript map has a tear at the foot of the fold, otherwise in good condition. For the manuscript map cf. Ian J. Barrow, Surveying and Mapping in Colonial Sri Lanka: 1800-1900. - For Knox: Cox I, 276f. Henze III, 46f.‎

Édition originale française (une traduction anglaise paraît la même année à Londres) de cet ouvrage composé par le diplomate allemand Johann Christoph Gustav von Struve et consacré, plus qu'à la Crimée, à l'ambassade russe envoyée de Saint-Pétersbourg à Constantinople en 1793. À compter de la signature du traité de Paris le 25 juin 1802, Napoléon effectue plusieurs tentatives de rapprochement avec la Sublime Porte, cherchant à « raffermir et consolider ce grand empire » pour s'en servir contre la Russie et l'Angleterre, rivaux de la France en Orient. Il dépêche ainsi plusieurs ambassadeurs à Constantinople, parmi lesquels le colonel Horace Sebastiani, qui en 1808 aidera la capitale à repousser la flotte anglaise. Les négociations d'une véritable alliance entre la France et l'Empire ottoman tournent cependant court, et les anglais profitent d'une période de troubles intérieurs pour asseoir leur influence sur la Porte. En 1813 Andréossy, premier ambassadeur français depuis quatre ans à rejoindre Constantinople, ne peut rien faire pour renouer les liens entre les deux puissances. Napoléon III combattra toutefois en Crimée au côté de l'Empire ottoman. Barbier IV, 1085.
