ref. 77254Tokio Tokyo The Japan Sericultural Association 1904. Folio 29.6 x 22.0 cm. Preliminary leaf title page xiv advertisements 166 7 ix pp. 144 text illustrations logos of which 142 in colour - mostly in full colour chromolithography a few partly printed in silver. Additional full-colour illustrations in the advertisement sections. Original multi-colour pochoir wrappers with two silk ties. Printed erratum leaf tipped in. = A very rare survey of Japanese silk producers prepared for the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition. In all 144 companies present themselves here each providing a - mostly very colourful - logo often depicting birds as well as various other animals flowers geishas warriors etc. Included is an overview of the silk industry and its history. Between 1850 and 1930 raw silk ranked as the leading export of Japan accounting for 20 per cent to 40 per cent of Japans total exports. Between the 1890s and the 1930s Japanese silk exports quadrupled making Japan the largest silk exporter in the world. "The Louisiana Purchase Exposition informally known as the St. Louis World's Fair was an international exposition held in St. Louis Missouri United States from April 30 to December 1 1904. Local state and federal funds totaling $15 million were used to finance the event. More than 60 countries and 43 of the then 45 American states maintained exhibition spaces at the fair which was attended by nearly 19.7 million people" Wikipedia. It was by far the most important world fair before WWI." The Japanese government spent lavishly: $400000 plus $50000 from the Japanese colonial government of Formosa with an additional $250000 coming from Japanese commercial interests and regional governments". This lavishly illustrated work was not for sale and it seems likely that most copies ended up in governmental libraries. This copy however is not a library copy and apart from some very light wear to the wrappers is in excellent condition. Provenance: inscribed on the front free endpaper William Streuli from Berizzi Bute . One copy in the collection of The Met in New York City and one copy recorded in OCLC in a Danish library.

1748ref. 143621748. Bellin Jacques Nicolas. Engraving of Arab and Moorish traders traveling to Senegal 1748 depicts the movement of gum through animal-borne commerce in eighteenth-century West Africa. Published in Histoire générale des voyages the scene identifies its subjects specifically as "Arabes et Mores" bringing gum to Senegal and shows the traders using camels horses and oxen for transport. The caption ties the image directly to the gum trade a commerce connecting inland producers and merchants with markets along the Senegal River and Atlantic coast. Bellin Jacques Nicolas. Arabes et Mores montés sur leurs Chameaux leurs Chevaux et leurs bœufs pour apporter des gommes au Senegal. From Histoire générale des voyages 1748. Overall page size 10 x 7.25 inches; image size 5.5 x 7.5 inches. The engraving shows a group of turbaned men in tunics traveling with camels horses and oxen. Some figures ride while the animals move as a caravan across the landscape. The printed caption below identifies both the travelers and their purpose: "Arabes et Mores montés sur leurs Chameaux leurs Chevaux et leurs bœufs pour apporter des gommes au Senegal" describing Arabs and Moors mounted on their camels horses and oxen to bring gum to Senegal. Published in 1748 the engraving records a European representation of the inland commercial networks supplying Senegal with gum particularly gum arabic during a period of expanding European competition for West African commodities. Its caption is unusually specific about the commodity destination traders and means of transportation connecting the figures and animals to a defined commercial activity rather than presenting them simply as generalized costume types. The combination of caravan transport and explicit reference to the Senegal gum trade provides visual evidence for eighteenth-century European descriptions of commerce between Saharan and Sahelian traders and the Senegal region. Some small markings in the margin. Overall very good condition. unknown
