CHINA BOXER REBELLION
A Picture of Commander-in-Chief Dong's Plan to Attack the Western Forces at Yang Village
China 1899. Colour-printed woodblock. Paper toned. Minor nicks to margin. Very good condition. A Chinese print depicting a battle during the Boxer Rebellion.<br/> <br/>During the Boxer Uprising one of the ways the Boxers spread their message throughout China was through widely circulated pictures known as nianhua or "New Years' pictures." These pictures were often used to illustrate celebrations and festivals but also current events such as military victories. Since there were many people in the countryside who were illiterate the Boxers used various examples of imagery including posters placards and flags to coordinate the mass peasant movement and communicate their message of heroism and resistance against imperial powers. This print gives a close look at the battle at Yangcun. Chinese commanders led by Dong Fuxiang and his Gansu Braves were gathered in an encampment which the Western forces planned to attack. They built a bridge in order to cross the river to the encampment but the Chinese had planted mines which caused the bridge to explode and the Western forces to retreat. The print shows the Chinese forces waving swords as well as the flags of their commanders surrounding the Western soldiers from many sides as they attempt to flee some jumping off the bridge and drowning. "On the 14th day of the 7th month the Western armies arrived at Yang village. Western officers ordered the foot soldiers to build a footbridge across the river to attack the encampment. They were hit by Commander-in-Chief Dong and General Lis secretly placed mines. Our armies attacked from different directions. The Western army was decisively defeated and half of them were killed. A picture by the Daoist of Mount Song" caption translated by the National Archives. The celebratory nature of the illustration shows that it was meant to evoke feelings of patriotism and increase morale amongst the Chinese people and not intended to depict a realistic and historically accurate military scene. The pictorial style combines elements of traditional Chinese woodblock printing with some Western details with the bright colors following the nianhua tradition of the colorful New Year pictures. The prominent red color splashed across the print draws attention to the fire and smoke blood and foreign uniforms.<br/> <br/>MIT Visualizing Cultures "The Boxer Uprising ll. unknown books

Nanking Chapter American Red Cross in China
American Red Cross Book of Recipes for the Use of Chinese Foodstuffs. The ABCs of War Time Economy
Shanghai: Presbyterian Mission Press 1918. First edition. Near Fine. Quarter cloth over pictorial drab boards. Early ownership signature to upper front board and some faint soiling mostly to spine and edges. Textblock firm and square measuring 210 x 130mm. Internally a surprisingly fresh copy collating complete with adverts to front and rear: 12 138 16. Introducing a range of "native products" to Americans living in the region the cookery reflects a growing need for nutritious recipes and supply chain substitutions in wartime. The sole copy on the market OCLC reports only 7 copies.<br/><br/>The only Chinese-published cookbook "to deal only with native products and recipes that could be made from them." In their preface to this new cookery the committee for the Women's Auxiliary explains in clear terms what sets their cookery apart. "This book was definitely war product. It was prepared with two ideas in view: that of utilizing local products as substitutes for the home imported foodstuffs and secondly that of reducing the cost of living. It was different from all other cook books that had been published in China for foreigners' use in that it dealt only with native products and recipes that could be made from them." While some recipes are titles in English only the compilers included Cantonese translations wherever possible in addition to including a glossary at the rear called Hints for the Housekeeper as well as a List of Terms Necessary in Food Preparation which both provide translations and pronunciations for Cantonese words related to food and household cleaning products. During and after WWI Shanghai had become a space of rich and problematic interactions between cultures. In addition to rising Western military forces its reputation as the "Paris of the East" drove in American and British tourists while later large residential areas were being built in the north due to war concessions. Opium smuggling prostitution and a spreading wealth gap caused friction. The Women's Auxiliary composed of intelligent and educated members with a cultural appreciation for these fluctuations as well as for the culture into which they had migrated sought to use the kitchen as a positive space for the exchange of food language and ideas.

CHINA Stanford Edward. Marshall Broomhall preface.
Atlas of the Chinese Empire containing separate maps of The Eighteen Provinces of China Proper.and of The Four Great Dependencies.Together with an index to all the names on the maps and a list of All Protestant Mission Stations &c.
London.: The China Inland Mission. 1908. Color lithographed maps xii index map plus 22 single and double page maps 16pp 13 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches gilt lettered red cloth covered boards hardbound. The Index Map of China has a stain with a small piece of paper adhered to it from the facing page which is the Alphabetical List of Protestant Missions with resultant damage to that page; neat marginal notes to the Index Map only; the first several sheets of the atlas are beginning to split along the lower gutter from the tight binding. The binding is worn with splits to the tail of the spine and marking to the front cover. The maps with the exception of the Index Map are clean and bright. Very attractive color maps covering the whole of the Chinese Empire including maps of Tibet and Mongolia. This is the first edition of this important atlas of China: "in view of the fact that 1907 would be the Centenary of Protestant Missionary effort in China it was decided by the China Inland Mission toward the close of 1905 to publish a new Atlas of the Chinese Empire this Atlas to be accompanied by a book giving a geographical historical and missionary survey of each province and dependency of that Empire. It was hoped that these companion volumes would be ready for the Centenary Conference which was to take place in Shanghai during the spring of 1907. Through unexpected delays it was however found impossible without serious loss to the Atlas to have the maps ready in time so the book entitled The Chinese Empire was published first. The Atlas which is now sent forth to the public has taken about two and a half years to prepare and is in every respect an entirely new work." The atlas includes maps of Tibet Manchuria and Mongolia. The maps of the provinces are on the scale of 1:3000000 and of the great dependencies on the scale of 1:7500000. . The China Inland Mission. hardcover books
