‎CHIKONABU (Toyohara)[CHIKANOBU (Yoshu) ou NAOYOSHI (Hashimoto) pseudo.]; KYOSAI‎

‎[Azuma Nikishi-e]‎

‎Tokyo, [entre 1879-1896]. In-folio, [45] ff., leporello/orihon (terme japonais), cartonnage de toile écrue, étiquette de papier calligraphié à la main (petits frottements, quelques rares manques).‎

‎Cet album est composé de 45 feuillets comportant 27 triptyque gravés sur bois magistralement rehaussés de couleurs (dont un de l'artiste Kyosai) et 1 gravure sur bois, également rehaussée, sur 5 feuillets, le tout disposé au recto comme au verso. Les gravures sont l'oeuvre du graveur Chikonabu, un artiste majeur du ukiyo-e qui exerce durant l'ère Meiji. Par sa naissance, il est inféodé au clan Sakakiabra, vassaux des shoguns Tokugawa. À ce titre, il a participé à la guerre de Boshin aux côtés de ses maîtres. Cet album représente des scènes de la vie de la dynastie Tokugawa (shoguns de 1603 à 1868): cérémonies religieuses,divertissements ou encore batailles, qui ont été gravées et mise en vente entre 1879 (12e année de l'ère Meiji) et 1896 (29e année de l'ère Meiji). Elles sont toutes imprégnées d'une certaine nostalgie face à la rapide modernisation du Japon en cette fin du XIXe siècle, typique du style de Chikonabu des années 1880-1890. Il est notamment connu pour ses triptyques, ces polyptyques étant très rare et il a beaucoup représenté des femmes, des acteurs de théâtre et des scènes historiques. Cet album a été acquis par un français qui a encollé de nombreuses notes explicatives des scènes sur les contreplats de la reliure. Verso : 1- deux dieux de la Fortune assis : Ebisu et Daikoku, auquel des souris apportent de l'argent (gravée par Kyosai en 1889 et intitulée The Mugnificent Mice ou Les Souris prodigues).2- 300e festival du temple de Toshogu à Tokyo. 3- 1 gravure sur 5 ff. représentant la bataille de la 1ère année de Meiji [1868] entre danciens vassaux révoltés et les forces gouvernementales (Guerre de Boshin) 4- visite du 14e Shogun (Iemochi Tokugawa) au temple de Nikko5- 4e Shogun (Iemochi Tokugawa) regardant larmée longer la mer.6- arrivée des vaisseaux américains 7- Shogun passant le pont de bateaux à Matendo 8- procession du Shogun entrant dans un palais9- représentation d'un nô devant un public éduqué et le peuple10- daimyo transporté avec sa suite dans Edo11- procession à Funabashi12- scène de chasse au sanglierRecto : 1- revue militaire au château de Fukiage2- visite au temple Nikko3- visite aux sanctuaires de Kamo4- passage d'un noble et de sa suite sur le pont de bateaux de Kurihashi5- arrivée des nobles pour la fête de la nouvelle année lunaire6- traversée d'une rivière par une suite de noble en route pour Kawagoe7- dames fuyant un feu8- cérémonie d'intronisation du 8e shogun9- cérémonie sportive ou jeu [?]10- défilé militaire à Kyoto11- Shogun en jugement12- cérémonie religieuse au temple Toshogu d'Ueno (Tokyo)13- nobles traversant un pont14- arrivée du vieux vassal du shogun Hikozaimon Okubo (ou Okubo Tadataka), transporté par ses hommes15- procession pour le festival pour le 300e anniversaire de l'entrée du 1er shogun Tokugawa dans EdoRare.

‎China. [Secret British Military Report].‎

‎Reports on Kwangtung and Fukien Provinces. Hong Kong, British War Office, 1926-1928.‎

‎Folio (22.5 x 35 cm). [ii], 11; [ii], 12-35; [i], 36-60; [i], 61-101; [i], 103-138 ll. Five secret military reconnaissance reports totalling 138 numbered leaves in typescript (some in carbon copies or duplicated) with insertions and manuscript additions, with 47 original photographs (3.5 x 6 to 8 x 13 cm) mounted on the leaves (3 of the 47 are longer panoramas, each built up from 2 to 3 photos) and a folding blueprint plan (26 x 48.5 cm). Contemporary brown half cloth with diapered cloth sides and printed paper labels on the spine and front cover. Kept in a modern cloth clamshell box. Five secret British military reconnaissance reports made by the South China Command in Hong Kong for the Under Secretary of State at the War Office in London from 1926 to 1928 and distributed in 1927 and 1928, giving a very detailed account of sites of military importance in Guangdong and Fujian provinces on the southeast coast of mainland China at a critical moment in Chinese history. It includes a description of the famous Whampoa (Huangpu) Military Academy, established by Sun Yat-sen in 1924 with help from the Soviet Union and commanded by the young Chiang Kai-shek in his first major post, the Guangzhou radio transmitting station, the aerodrome near the academy, arsenals, railways, fortifications, other prospective military targets, the topography of the region and possible landing sites for an invasion. The folding plan shows "The Asiatic Petroleum Co's wharf Amoy", with extensive soundings, reproducing a drawing dated 14 September 1919. The British were secretly preparing for military intervention in China during a period of tension between China and the western powers. Although the text gives some background information and a few anecdotes about events in China (some Chinese feared the compiler might be a Russian spy), it mostly leaves political opinions to the politicians and concentrates on the factual information the military would need if England decided to invade China. Sun Yat-sen died in March 1925 and in the wake of worker and student uprisings, the British-led Shanghai Municipal Police shot and killed at least nine protesters in Shanghai on 30 May, stoking the existing anti-British sentiments. The Chinese Communist Party and Sun Yat-sen's Nationalist Kuomintang had been allied against the warlords since 1923 but Chiang Kai-shek had commanded their National Revolutionary Army since 1925 and beginning in March 1926 he purged Communists in the military and declared martial law, a coup that made him the undisputed leader of the Kuomintang. Mao Zedong, still only one of several leaders of the Chinese Communist Party, was beginning to organise peasant militias in Guangzhou, planting the seeds of what would become the Red Army. In April 1927 the hostilities erupted in civil war, with Chiang killing thousands of Communists and Mao Zedong leading the Red Army against him was to prove equally ruthless. The British government under Conservative Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin saw dangerous Bolshevic influences on both sides, but were pleased that Chiang made a definitive break with the Communists. After Chaing captured Nanking in March 1927, British and American ships opened fire on uprisings against him, and the British built up their military presence around the Communist stronghold of Shanghai as well. In the event, this was the closest they came to an invasion, and the preparations shown by the present reports never went further. But they give a remarkably detailed picture of the military state of southern China at this critical moment and form a primary source for both the beginnings of the Chinese civil war and the British view of the situation. The five reports are: [Part 1:] Report on Canton City [= Guangzhou in Guangdong] (sent 13 October 1927 and referring to an arsenal established 16 June [1927]). [Part 2:] Report on Shekcheng Arsenal, Whampoa Military Academy, and other establishments near Canton (sent 15 June 1928 and including information gathered in Guangzhou on 31 May 1928). [Part 3:] Report on Swatow [= Shantou in Guangdong] (dated March 1926 and sent 28 July 1927; addendum sent 10 February 1928). [Part 4:] Amoy [= Xiamen in Fujian] (dated March 1926 and sent 28 July 1927). [Part 5:] Foochow [= Fuzhou in Fujian] (refers to a publication of 1925 and sent 28 July 1927). The reports of 1927 and 1928 (parts 1 & 2) were compiled by Captain Robin Hasluck Campbell (1894-1964) of the Royal Marines, who was to rise to the rank of Major-General in 1944, and he also added a page of addenda to the 1926 report on Shantou, which was written by Captain R.A. Slater. Two of the Hong Kong cover letters were signed by Major-General Charles Camac Luard (1867-1947), Commander of British Troops in South China, and the other two by officers under his command. The paper for part 3 is watermarked "D. Gestetner's|Rotary" and some texts in the volume seem likely to have been reproduced on a Gestetner stencil-based duplicating machine, though some may be carbon copies and others appear to have been typed directly. Most of the leaves added in India are watermarked "Government|of|India|T". The Hong Kong cover letters indicate that these reports were distributed in only three to five copies, all but one going to Asian offices (including Malaya, Singapore and Peking), and we have located no surviving copies besides the present ones. They were sent in 1927 and 1928 to the Headquarters of the British Army in Delhi, India, which passed them on to their General Staff Branch at its summer office in Simla in the latter year. It was in India, probably when the reports were sent to Simla, that they were bound together with the four original cover letters (the third for parts 3 to 5 and the fourth for the addenda to part 3) and some new additions: a new typescript table of contents for all five reports headed by a general drop-title (with a manuscript note telling the binder to have the title printed for the cover), a manuscript part-title inserted before each part and one additional cover letter written in Delhi. Also at that time, the British authorities in India mounted some of the cover letters on paper leaves (and seem to have remounted some of the photos on new leaves) and made some manuscript annotations. They also used a red pencil to number the leaves of the five reports in a single series including the cover letters and leaves with photos, but not the manuscript part-titles. The table of contents cites these new leaf numbers. The reports in parts 1-3 had been separately foliated in typescript without the added leaves: 8; [2], 19; [1], 9, [3] ll. Some worm holes, especially in the first few and last few leaves (slightly affecting 2 photographs), and with occasional minor chips and tears, the folding plan has separated at the folds, a folding photographic panorama assembled from 3 photographs has one part torn through and another photo has a faded patch, but most text leaves and photographs are in good condition. A detailed secret report of British military reconnaissance in southern China as the civil war between Communists and Nationalist broke out. For the British military's view of the circumstances: Jonathan Parkinson, The Royal Navy, China Station (2018), pp. 359-372.‎

‎CHINESE TRAVEL TO AMERICA‎

‎Cabinet cards showing the scholar Ko K'un-hua and his children.‎

‎New York: G. W. Pach & Brothers c.1885. A landmark moment in the history of teaching Chinese A rare photograph of the first instructor of Chinese at Harvard a well-known example of travel against the west-to-east grain. Ko brought with him from China the books that would form the basis of the Harvard-Yenching library. We can trace only a handful of these cabinet cards in commerce. In the late 1870s Harvard decided to offer Chinese classes to prepare undergraduates for lucrative but demanding careers in the Chinese customs service. After the university raised $8750 to finance a lectureship Harvard graduates in China including Edward Drew and H. B. Morse searched for a suitable candidate settling on Drew's former Chinese tutor from Ningbo. Ko 1838-1882 also romanized as Ge Kunhua arrived at Harvard in September 1879 taking as his first student George Lane Pope Professor of Latin in return for Lane teaching him English. "The few remaining photographs of Ko reveal a dignified middle-aged man in the long high-necked heavy garments of a scholar-official of the Qing dynasty" Harvard Magazine. Ko remained in Cambridge until his sudden death from pneumonia in 1882 following which Harvard paid for his family's return to China. His appointment was far ahead of its time: the university did not restore Chinese to the curriculum for another four decades. Ko was accompanied to the US by his six children five of whom are shown in the second cabinet card although only the names of the sons Ge Zhong and Ge Shu are known. Drew helped pay for the pair's education following their father's death. The Pach brothers established their first studio in New York in the 1860s. Between 1877 and 1890 they traded from 841 Broadway. Both cabinet cards give this main address and the Pach satellite locations including Cambridge and New Haven. In 1895 a fire destroyed the firm's entire stock of negatives. 2 albumen prints c.150 x 100 mm and inverse on card mounts 163 x 106 mm verso with yellow surface-paper printed with Pach mark.
