Half red leather over marbled boards recent binding gold-stamped very good 35 x 27.5 cm. all edge gilt most gone 18 stiff leaves 166 b.w. photos one pencil drawing one post card one photo cut outvery clean. . . . AMERICAN "DOUGH BOYS" IN CHINA 1927 . . . DURING THE FIRST REVOLUTIONARY WAR . . THE FOUNDING OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY This excellent primary record was begun July 1904 and ended with the last photo caption dated June-August 1906. The work is an exceptionally clean example with meticulous captions clear and bright images of varying sizes. The smallest is 6 x 4.5 cm. ca 10 each up to 23.5 x 17 cm. for the largest. With a large number of intermediary sizes in between. . The captions are in both English & Italian and a mix of both languages carefully identifying the place & person photographed. From the kind of photographs and people in these its is easy to deduce that this album was likely made by an Italian officer assigned as part of the protective foreign force for the Italian Embassy and diplomatic corps as guards. Assigned to China to continue to protect after the Boxer uprising they protected both the foreign diplomatic community and their families. A good number of these are of Peking and of their excursions around China. . Visits to Shan-Fan-Shan temple photos of a friend who was in Seoul Korea riding a rickshaw photos of some American military officers: ie "Lieut. Clark & Capt. Brewster Commandant of the Peking U.S. Delegation guard Lieutenant. Clark" et al. Polo on the Peking Polo grounds Pei-Tai-ho beach one lovely one of "Casa di mia Isabella; next obviously a photo of the album's maker and Italian who freely associated freely with his American counterparts in the military & diplomatic corps. . A lovely pencil sketch of Francesco Rospidliosi perhaps the creator of this album dated August 1903. Peking race track grandstand "Variag" Chemulko Korea: view of a belly-up ship in Korea another dated April 1904 shows various diplomats: "Ministro d'Augustine.Mr. Uchida.do of Peking." dragon boat in Shanghai three great photos of horse-mounted officers with caption and date "Warriors. 1904 Peking & Huang Ts'un" and their horses. .

Then a lovely and grand size group photo some in military uniform others in civilian clothes diplomats most with long boots dated "March 1905" most with Italian names except for one penciled at the far right: "Swanton" and two women. Names appear above and below the photo which is 23.5 x 17 cm. Next 2 page show horse racing honor guards in formation "April 1905" going to church photos of Peking race horses and their foreign mounts "May 1905." Next pair of pages show a "September 1905 Trip to the Great Wall with Mrs. Brewster & Miss Brewster at Sha-ho Chinese hotel Nan-ko Pass Mrs. David at Peitai-ho" and along the way to the Great wall with stunning photos of the impressive and grand size "First Gate." Their horse-drawn stage coach-like "wagon" straight out of the old American West ! Photos of three foreign children "Peking 1905." On the next page more of the Great Wall excursion: Capt. & Mrs. Brewster along side the Great Wall & of course photos from on top of the Great wall all nicely dated ! Next set show more on the Great Wall and "Coming back without Toda and a superb photo of the album compiler mounted on horseback with "doggie" standing at attention ! . The next pair shows Shanghai naval officer and horse wagon another of two foreign children in a large Jinriksha in Peking 1905 with another of the children in great fur coats. Postcard of the Wuta-su Temple of Seven Pagodas Peking. More horse-mounted photos Peking race course. . The next page shows some important and spectacular photos. "Miss Roosevelt Eleanor wife of President Franklin D. Roosevelt who held that office from 1933 to 1945 Capt.

These great people are greeted by a group of Chinese Imperial Mandarins wearing special hats and long white gowns. Another of "Miss Roosevelt M. Mrs. di Almeida Capt. Pringle Peking 1905." . Then a larger and quite stunning photo of Italian Naval officers.and Americans: "Mrs. Brewster Commandant Cipriani Miss Brewster Guardia della Degarione d'Italia.Capitano BrewsterAmerican." all seated before a great Fu Dog for a camera pose. . The album continues then a rather sad photo of the "Portion of the remains of the French Catholic Mission residence of La Varche & Ma-murdered Nan Chang March 1906" & "Kinghams chapel in background.burnt house is right around March 1906." Adjacent to this is "Ring leader of attack on Kingham's house Han Chang March 1906." . Next 2 pages show more ruined church with "corner of house in which Mr. & Mrs. Kingham and the little daughter Gracie .they were beaten to death in this corner-blood stains March 1906." Next shows "Four men who conducted murder torture having taken part in the murder of the Kinghams and burning of their mission March 1906" shows four Chinese handcuffed to a steel ring around their necks. We now learn the true level of danger for foreigners in China and the reason for the foreign troops to give protection to the innocents murdered by Chinese. . The next page shows an inspection of the palace by Capt. Lynne Doct. Dawe H.M. Tripe at Han Chang March 1906.

Other pages show H.M.S. Clarity the Han river ."with daddy & Miss Hart June 1906" and other ship and harbor views.

The album ends with June-August 1906 dated photos rest at "Bungalow" in Kiu Kiang. Where they visited with British administrators and missionaries. . Rare insight to the diplomatic world of foreigners stationed in China at the turn-of-the century. Fascinating primary resource. There are very few albums that cover this rare aspect of life in China from the higher social structure of foreign diplomats and military people. Keen insights to the life and customs of the privileged people. . . hardcover‎

‎CHINESE ANCESTORS PHOTOGRAPHS SOUTH CHINA.‎

‎A PAIR OF CANTONESE ANCESTOR PHOTOGRAPHS: MAN AND A WOMAN.‎

‎Hong Kong n.d. ca. 1900. A pair of large b.w. photographs woman: 31.5 x 40.5; man: 31 x 47 cm. very good condition minor wear on eges a few spots board mounted with studio brushed touch ups and accents. OBSCURE This is a pair of matching "Ancestor Photographs." They were taken about 1900 in Hong Kongand are probably photos of a Cantonese husband and wife. They were used posthumously to be placed on the family altar for worship remembrance and to make offerings of incense and food during the year. STUDIO POSED: The works were clearly taken in a studio. Each has been slightly enhanced by the photographer's brush upon development. The man's photo shows touch up and accent in his eyebrows moustache the lines and folds of his eye lids. The woman's photo has been touched up in her hair where thin lines to accent her hair have been drawn in as an accent. The frogs or fasteners of her Cheongsam dress have also been outlined to accent their definition. CONDITION: The woman's photo has some gray spots at her lower chest line in the bottom are of the photo. This is somewhat feint and not exceptionally bad otherwise there are 2 tiny white spots at the left in the background. The lower edge of the photo was roughly cut and then later likely matted out by the photographer. These defects do not significantly detract from the overall image which is clear sharp and otherwise without any major defects. Overall a strong solid image clear sharp and bright. The man's photo has a narrow water spot at the background just adjacent to his left temple a few white spots on the negative which transferred to the photograph common to the early period of this photograph. There is a small divot just below his chin in the background. Otherwise the photograph is with out any large defects. There is an interesting fingerprint in the left background just above his shoulder obviously place there by the photographer. A small discoloration is found on the area just above his right temple which again appears to be in the negative. Overall a strong solid image clear sharp and bright. It is out belief that the photographs were not taken on the same day at the same photographer's studio. The man's photograph appears to be an earlier work with a different photographic process. The woman's looks like it was taken a few years later. We believe the couple were married and represented the late ancestors of a Hong Kong family. PROVENANCE: The set was purchased in Hong Kong in 1959 and were framed as matching set. . unknown‎

V E R Y R A R E ! . . SUPERB PHOTO ALBUM OF THE CHINESE CIVIL WAR: . . Beginning of The Communist Party led led by Mao Tse-tung . . V.S. the Kuomintang KMT or Chinese Nationalist Party . Led by Chiang Kai Shek. . The United States Supported the KMT. In this album we see how the KMT soldiers hosted the American Army in China using their trains and military bases throughout China. This unusual album contains 400 original b. w. photographs & and is an historic photographic record of American military deployment showing Dough-boys in China probably from the U.S. Army's 2nd. Battalion 15th. infantry per the flag and insignia found on a group formation photograph. A minority are with written captions by and large taken by the person who made the album also enhanced with a small percent of professional Chinese photos some of which have in-negative captions. There are ca. 3 or so photos missing else completely filling 32 pages or 64 sides one on the inside back cover. The inside of the front cover has five attractive period color luggage type adverts from various hotels: Hotel Lankershim & Coast Line Military & Naval Hotel San Francisco Cal; The Court Hotel Tientsin North China; Grand Hotel des Wagons Litz; Astor House Hotel Ltd. Tientsin. The album begins with photos of a Chinese playing a Pi-pa snake skin banjo then there are three other photos: first two show a Chinese military camouflage train engine from which a Yank soldier in his campaign hat descends and a long train of cars with a large howitzer mounted upon one last shows French troops at parade rest with their rifles and white gloves and crested helmets with anchors naval or marines with others in the background with some officers. The next two pages show Chinese coolies swing a basket from the creek top water a field a mother suckling her baby with her family at the farm a large water tower in the wet slums and a group of Doughboys at attention in formation they wear boots leggings chrome World War I type dress helmets a rifle back pack with bayonet cartridge pouch belts with green wool hip-length jackets. The opposite page shows another view of the Chinese military train a pair of large mounted guns on an armored train car. To the right is a Chinese officer pointing to a large pierced hole in the train with a foreign engineer peering out from the small window. The train sports the Republic of China flag with a Chinese military unit flag painted on the side. Another view shows a group of abandoned Chinese coffins that went to the dogs; a group of soldiers in garrison caps at attention with fixed bayonets as the officers salute someone near the person taking the photo some Chinese officers also present. Next 2 pages show Chinese on a wheel barrow some Japanese women by a pond in Kimono and a group of British troops from their colonial Empire: blacks Indians white trumpeter Chinese and others with musical instruments all wear white cork-type pith helmets. A group of Japanese officers mugging for the camera. Photos of the railhead and large number of Chinese troops with rifles and kit at the railway station some on march carrying their flags others in open box cars with touring cars that are on the move another of camouflaged armored train cars one shows a number of foreign soldiers looking out of a train car window some are with tiny embossed stamp at right corner: "Mei Lee Tien Tsin." The album continues with a mixture of images of civilian Chinese Chinese military their trains moving air planes weapons war refugees in tents military views of barbed wire fortifications trenches machine gunners Russian soldiers Chinese officers Chinese air force funerals rickshaw pullers camel trains captured & wounded prisoners foreign soldiers at their sand-bagged posts. Photos of the great wall magnificent Chinese architectural monuments buildings and pagodas religious icons coffins more coffins mortars & Chinese junks and a plethora of others. The American Consulate General's compound in Tientsin American military band welcoming the newly arrived replacement troops. A large photo group shot of the American officers seated for a memorial photograph with their Battalion flag proudly posted on the wall where they pose source of our citation at the top of the unit name; two buglers are at each outside position the commander is ram-rod straight and taller than all others seated in the front & center; he and only two others on his sides wear full leather knee boots probably indicating the highest ranking officers; others are in boots & leggings. Photos of Doughboys aboard a ship showing the Naval officers with one stunning photo of an American high officer with his Japanese & Chinese counter parts posing for the camera. And a photo of the "Mail Boat Gazun Panama" and a few others of Panama giving credence to the fact that some of these soldiers came from the American East coast via Panama to San Francisco then on to China. Nice photo of semi-nude Panamanian family men women children. Doughboys at target practice photos of Chinese poverty coolies pulling great loads and street vendors. More showing Chinese life style street life horse & bullock carts and yet more caskets left in the open unburied and abandoned train cars full of horses Chinese troops smoke rising from a burning city another with "Tian jin" written in Chinese catholic church more parading of American soldiers within the Tientsin American Consulate parade grounds trooping of the colors. And a nice photo of the "U.S. Army Transport Thomas" Chinese junk &c. A U.S. soldier in a necktie his rifle at fixed bayonet at parade-rest before the Consulate General compound with sand bags inside a photo of a U.S. soldier with his Colt-45 on his hip with canteen looking at some communications connections another photo of two mini U.S. tanks and a very long bridge over the water. Photo of the Tientsin downtown with a Sikh Indian policeman directing traffic. Next page shows a public Chinese street execution: the guilty on his knees with the executioner ready to swing a very large sword and another headless corpse is before him the Tientsin YMCA compound opposite which is likely the inside of the American Consulate offices showing very ancient typewriters and three women staff and one other female Navy person. They all mug for the camera with a good number of U.S. Army or Marine officers behind three desks. Chinese hauling "magnum gold" brand ammunition on hand- trucks a U.S. Army band performing before the Consulate's office. At this point we find a few photos with penned captions: "One of China's Department Stores it shows a bird vendor; Peanut Gambler a mountain of P-nuts; Chinese Shimboo photo of the office and maker of the album and his Chinese officer friend ; "A Chinese Taxi" shows him in a Rickshaw "Me and the boy friend 11/3/28" shows a tiny goat cart carrying a child's coffin with a Chinese man. This penned date gives substantial proof of the date range of the entire album which was placed about the center of the whole work. The next page shows two more penned captions: "Chinese cavalry" and "Note mud house and fence" shows two Chinese officers on horse-back and a very very poor house with very starved animals. The next shows six Chinese undercover men two each holding a Chinese being readied for execution; and a very grizzly photo of a Chinese officer actually executing a Chinese man with his pistol who is seated on a rock: the photo captures the action as the shot blows away the mans brains. Behind the execution scene is a crowd of American soldiers in campaign hats and Chinese military officers who are witness to the event. More views of Chinese street life vendors pullers haulers & horse carts religious icons and a stunning Chinese roofed gate more Chinese troops on the move via train with a very horrible view of a large number of dead Chinese in the muddy filthy waters by a bridge. Homeless Chinese at a "soup kitchen" war refugees hauling their belongings house boat street barbers a group of 7 photos by the ocean. They show American soldiers at leisure looking at Chinese fishermen nets naked fishermen hauling in a net of fish to the beach a burning waterfront village the jetty where several large American transport ships are at anchor and a great assembly of Yankee soldiers on the beach with duffel bags and their gear at the railhead. The last photo shows a great number of various whisky bottles lined up for display. More photos show a coffin maker large coffin basket seller and "chow" sellers on the street. A military formation of 100's of either Scottish or Irish soldiers with fixed bayonets marching down the main street before the "RNC Electricity Dept." below which is a very long line of British soldiers on one side of the street opposite from a good number of American soldiers who are on the side of the street a British Union Jack flies over a castle-like structure this is clearly some kind of grand military parade. More photos of the Great Wall the military parade and army chaplains with an Australia flag flying over another castle tower. Chinese river scene with large numbers of native boats in a canal a beggar's camp with straw -mat tents a canal crossing ferry for people a photo of a U.S. officer stand on top a wooden coffin for a closer look. More poverty-stricken Chinese haulers fortune tellers graves tethered horses log sawyers rice haulers electric trolley with English and Chinese language sign on the roof panorama post card of Shanghai's Bund. The album now shifts to photos of the Peking area. Shows the Ming tombs and the camel-lined road; military train the Americans were transported by that train a large bivouac and tent city where the U. S. military troops camped some Chinese "house boys" proudly holding the American troop's unit flag. More photos of two U.S. soldiers posing near Chinese coffins in a wet ditch. A group of very young Chinese boys posed near the railroad; one is so poor that he has no clothes at all and is in nude. A large group of Nationalist Chinese soldiers marching along a street one classic photo of a single American soldier on guard standing at attention as stands vigil on a barbed-wire barrier his rifle at fixed bayonet. A group of five Chinese young "ladies" who pose for the camera who seemed NOT to be bewildered by the photographer they look like "Sing-song girls" hookers who entertained the U.S. troops. Chinese Buddhist priests in white robes with shaved heads a great gate to Peking Shanghai harbor views shanty huts captured Chinese criminal or traitor guarded by Chinese soldiers train car full of rifles more Chinese soldiers on trains marching in formation on the road. And a good photo of several American officers: one with a whip posing for the camera in garrison hat. Chinese bivouac and American soldiers with bullet and pouches for ammo with rifles at parade rest. More barbed-wire barricades Chinese & British soldiers armored train-mounted gun. More Chinese prisoners traitors being executed heads hoisted on power poles in baskets as a form of public warning and display for other would-be traitors. An American tent bivouac camp at the train yard two more public exec executions by beheading at the moment of loosing one's head an executed dead man lying in the street. Photos of Peking's Forbidden City a Chinese hung to death from a tree a Yank soldier in overalls carries a Chinese bamboo "yoke" with two baskets and smokes a pipe while Chinese look on and laugh. Two photos of lines of Rickshaws waiting for passengers. One comic photo with negative caption: "Find the Chinaman;" it shows two American soldiers sitting among Chinese. Nice shot of the Summer Palace Peking and a U.S. soldier riding in a Rickshaw. The very last photo inside the back cover shows the whole battalion dressed up wearing their chrome helmets standing at attention in formation for a classic and most historic memorial photograph. Their commanding officer is front and center; all have their rifles ammo belts and very polished boots with back packs. They could be standing in the Tientsin American Consulate compound grounds. Followed by a few other photos of Chinese a Chinese soldier et al. This work shows the typical things seen in China during this period of political and military chaos. The feuding war lords and political parties at war; the landing of American military to protect American diplomatic interests. Support & assistance given to the Americans and other foreign military groups by the Nationalist Chinese army. The desperate situation of the tragic Chinese people caught in the grips of upheaval and the summary punishment of traitors in a public display of the swift and ruthless law of China. A riveting and most compelling true record of a U.S. military officer's sojourn to and deployment in China. THE PHOTOGRAPHER AND THE SIZE OF PHOTOGRAPHS: This is not a professional group of photographs but there a very small amount which were obviously purchased by the maker of the album and inserted. The vast majority are his personal photographs these again are obvious to anyone who looks at the album. This is an excellent example of private work of an unknown American Army officer stationed in China during a very chaotic period.
