[Boston School Board. Primary School Committee]
Report of the Special Committee of the Primary School Board on a Portion of the Remarks of the Grammar Masters
Boston: John H. Eastburn City Printer 1844. First edition. Disbound. Removed from a larger volume else a very good clean copy. 13 pp. 8vo. The Primary School committee was much agitated by the Secretary of the Board of Education Horace Mann's Seventh Annual Report which complained that there was no real system of education in Boston specifically that the teachers in the higher grades were forced to teacher the basic elements that should have been covered earlier: "The elements must be taught somewhere. If neglected in the primary schools they must be taught in the grammar schools. And thus the order of things is reversed and disarrangement introduced into the whole school system. The teacher who is employed and paid for instructing in the higher branches is compelled to devote time and attention to the studies appropriately belonging to schools of a lower grade. This is found to be the case to too great an extent in the schools of our city. We do not say this to the disparagement of the primary school teachers or from the belief that there is a want of fidelity on their part. We believe it to be in part at least owing to the system of teaching or rather want of system in the primary schools." The Primary School committee attempted to rebut his criticism point by point. Over 175 years later this problem remains as intractable as ever.<br /> <br /> Not at AAS. OCLC locates 8 printed copies. American Imprints 44882. John H. Eastburn, City Printer unknown

[CHINA, Canton School]
Album of exceptional watercolours of members of the Chinese court and of various tradesmen and occupations
Canton 1800. Large 4to. 15 x 12 1/2 inches. 141 watercolours on thin paper nearly all captioned in ink in Chinese in the lower right corner each tipped to a sheet of wove paper. Mid-nineteenth century citron half morocco over marbled paper covered boards spine with raised bands in six compartments lettered in gilt in the second compartment the others with a repeat decoration in gilt marbled edges<br/> <br/> Provenance: Lady Anne Cowdray Dunecht House Aberdeenshire armorial bookplate<br/> <br/> An extraordinary album of early Chinese export watercolours of the highest quality.<br/> <br/> Beginning in the late 18th century centred on the treaty port of Canton there existed a thriving trade in ethnographical watercolours executed by local Chinese artists and sold to the western merchants and travellers. The best known result of this trade is William Mason's Costume of China first published in London in 1800 which is illustrated with 60 hand-coloured aquatints adapted from a series of original watercolours by Pu-Qua of Canton. It was common for the local artists including Pu-Qua to work from a set series of models. The present album includes a number of compositions that are from the same set of models as those used by Pu-Qua but they include more detail and more of the trade-associated paraphernalia than are shown in the images as published in Mason's work. This suggests that they were not copied from Mason but were after another more detailed source or were unique compositions by the artist based on a similar series of models. Importantly these watercolours are of a uniformly higher quality than usually encountered and represent not only a wide-array of occupations but also members of the highest echelon of Chinese society. The detailing on the costumes worn by these members of the royal court is breathtaking with copious use of gilt. Later collections of Chinese export watercolors were routinely executed on less expensive pith paper whereas the present watercolours are on high quality tissue and are larger in size than those typically encountered. The album represents an earlier more prestigious style of export watercolor paintings specifically meant for wealthy Europeans. These are Chinese watercolors of the highest quality designed and executed to the highest standards. The album was once owned by Annie Pearson Viscountess Cowdray 1881-1931 Steward of Colchester and wife of Lord Weetman Dickinson Pearson 1st Viscount Cowdray.<br/> <br/> Cf. Crossman The China Trade Princeton: 1972; cf. Clunas Chinese Export Watercolours London: 1984. unknown

Canton 1840s. . Landscape quarto 27 x 29 cm. 118 ink drawings each drawing on one side of fine double-folded paper with manuscript caption in English; several small marginal tears some spotting to one page. Contemporary pink wrappers; with tears and marginal losses.<br /> Fine collection of original drawings showing Chinese ceremonies scenes from the Imperial court portraits of Chinese nobility musical instruments traders and craftspeople each captioned in English. <br /><br />In the mid XVIII century the Emperor Qianlong implemented the Canton System 1757–1842 in China closing the ports across the country to focus all trade on the southern port of Guangzhou. The Pearl River delta region then became the centre for China's commerce and export industry which gave a push to the development of an artisan industry. Numerous craftspersons and artists in Canton were commissioned to produce various artworks for the European market. They "depicted those phases of Chinese life which fascinated the Westerner but defied descriptions to friends and family at home. Before the advent of the camera this medium played an extremely vital role in revealing Oriental culture to the West."

Album of watercolours of flowers fruit and silkworms.
Circa 1800. . 3 vols folio 50.9 x 37.4 cm; 244 mounted watercolours of flowers fruit birds and silkworms on Chinese paper comprising vol.1: 82 drawings of flowers vol.2: 82 drawings of flowers vol.3: 8 drawings of silkworms 7 of parrots 59 of fruit/flowers 6 of junks nineteenth-century russia gilt gilt armorial of George Spencer-Churchill Marquess of Blandford light foxing to a few plates one volume rebacked retaining original spine one volume with light water stain to upper cover lightly scratched some loss of leather to spine.<br /> A sumptuous collection of mounted watercolours depicting Chinese silkworm cultivation birds including parrots Asian fruits and multiple species of flowers; the work of exceptionally fine draughtsmanship from a Chinese school. Stylistic variety suggests a number of hands. The Chinese characters on the painting of silkworms read Quan Yuan Hao Jian Bo meaning a shop the first three characters that sells silk foil the last two characters. The spines of two volumes are labelled 'Flowers' and the third is labelled 'Silk Worms Fruits &c'.<br /><br />From the library of George Spencer-Churchill fifth Duke of Marlborough 1766-1840. The armorial design on the covers exhibit the coronet of a marquess indicating that the albums were bound whilst the Duke was Marquess of Blanford. He had a famed library at Whiteknights Park near Reading which was sold in 1819 due to financial difficulties exacerbated by his extravagant lifestyle. At Whiteknights the Duke had established the gardens as some of the most renowned in England at the time richly described by Barbara Hofland in A Descriptive Account of the Mansion and Gardens of White-Knights 1819. They featured a folly of a ruined Gothic chapel exotic botanicals imported from China and India and a Chinese temple. He was a passionate botanist and much of his library reflected this love for natural history this rare collection of watercolours being no exception. Lord Macartney's Embassy to China in 1793 saw the opening up of the Imperial lands to the West so it is likely that these drawings were produced in the last decade of the eighteenth or the first decade of the nineteenth century.<br /><br />John William Fordham Johnson 1866-1938 was a British-born Canadian businessman who became Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia in 1931.<br /> Circa 1800. hardcover

Chinese Craft on the Pearl River.
Canton circa 1810. . Pencil water colour and body colour drawing of craft heightened with white on paper watermarked 'J Whatman 1804' and '1805'. Framed and glazed overall size: 68.5cm by 58.5cm.<br /> Well executed and highly atmospheric watercolours capturing the importance of the river for trade in early nineteenth century China.<br /><br />A fine group of unusual and very attractive depictions of river life. Typically with the river in the foreground with a finely executed drawing of a native boat the backgrounds showing landscape scenes interspersed with occasional architectural details.<br /><br />The Pearl River is so named because of the pearl-colored shells that lie at the bottom of the river in the section that flows through the city of Guangzhou. Formerly often known as the Canton River it is an extensive river system in southern China. The name 'Pearl River' is also often used as a catch-all for the watersheds of the Xi 'West' Bei 'North' and Dong 'East' rivers of Guangdong. These rivers are all considered tributaries of the Pearl River because they share a common delta the Pearl River Delta. Measured from the farthest reaches of the Xi River the Pearl River system is China's third-longest river 2400 kilometres after the Yangtze River and the Yellow River and second largest by volume after the Yangtze.<br /> Canton, circa 1810]. unknown
