The Hunt started off from Misery Flats; / Some rode in toppers some billycock hats First edition of this celebration of the Shanghai paper hunt the expatriate community's answer to fox hunting. The text is supported by detailed maps of Shanghai's rural environs and photographs from the private collections of members as well as drawings provided by the Shanghai-based artist Edmund Toeg and the cartoonist H. W. G. Hayter. Equestrian pursuits were extremely popular in Republican China's international settlements. Businessmen diplomats military officers and the well-to-do used them to affirm their status and build connections and Shanghai was perpetually gripped by a "mania" Weirather p. 59 for racing. Founded in 1863 the Paper Hunt Club was one of the oldest expatriate groups in the city and by 1930 it included members from 19 different nationalities. This history anthologizes a large amount of information from the club's archives. A special section pays tribute to Ah Pau the head boy responsible for laying the paper trail for riders to follow. Ah Pau was invaluable when dealing with locals who objected to riders careering across their land: "In his dealings with his fellow countrymen he is usually the embodiment of imperturbability and good humour but when their rapacity and obstructiveness pass all reasonable bounds he lashes them with stinging invective and withers them with biting scorn" p. 29.

1848réf. 182652London: Longman & Co. 1848. One of the "supreme examples of Victorian Gothic" First edition of this icon of 19th-century book design. It is one of a handful of titles that showcase Humphrey's black so-called papier-mâché binding and displays a fantastic suite of his chromolithographs. Such bindings which imitate carved ebony were cast in plaster over a papier mâché mould. "The result was splendidly gothic and impressive" and they represent "perhaps the biggest triumph among all the ingenuities of Victorian commercial book-binding" McLean pp. 72 & 151. This design was inspired by a binding of carved ivory on a psalter in the British Museum. Humphreys 1810-1879 was also heavily influenced by Italian and Flemish manuscripts of the Middle Ages. The skill of the chromolithography demonstrated here is masterly and improves upon that of his previous titles. Octavo. Chromolithograph title page heightened in gilt 31 chromolithograph leaves with text and borders in medieval style 4 pp. letterpress at end. Original black plaster boards with elaborate gothic relievo design by Humphreys incorporating six medallion vignettes depicting miracles black embossed morocco spine spine and both boards lettered in relief gilt inner dentelles Fountain pattern marbled endpapers gilt edges. Housed in a custom blue cloth box. Relievo crisp and unrubbed boards superficially cracked at edges lower corners bumped letterpress pages foxed plates bright. A near-fine copy.
