1910réf. 235921910. Peking and North China travel photo archive circa 1912 to 1918 documenting the former imperial capital during the turbulent opening years of the Republic of China when centuries of Qing imperial rule had only recently ended and Beijing remained the political and cultural heart of northern China. The photographs record a landscape where imperial monuments Buddhist temples ancient roads and rural villages continued to define daily life despite the collapse of the dynasty in 1912. Produced during the era that followed the Xinhai Revolution and preceded the consolidation of the warlord period the archive preserves a city and surrounding countryside poised between imperial tradition and an uncertain republican future. Photo archive of 40 original silver gelatin photographs ranging from approximately 2 × 3 inches to 4 × 6 inches Peking Beijing and North China circa 1912 to 1918. The photographs depict the Temple of Heaven the Summer Palace Pei Hai Beihai Park the Forbidden City and its surrounding walls the White Dagoba at Miaoying Temple monumental ceremonial gateways pagodas temple courtyards the Great Wall north of Peking the Western Hills stone bridges lakes canals and mountain landscapes. Other photographs show Buddhist monks walking through temple precincts camel caravans crossing rocky valleys mule carts on country roads grazing livestock village architecture and rural agricultural scenes beyond the capital. Contemporary manuscript captions identify numerous locations including "The Great Wall of China" "Temple of Heaven Peking" "Pei Hai Grounds Peking" "Bridge over stream between Jade Fountain & Summer Palace" "The 3rd Green Golf at Paomachang Peking" "Western Hills near Peking" "Camel Drive at the Great Wall Nankow Pass north of Peking" and "Temple in the Western Hills near Peking Golden Roof." One inscription notes that several views "were taken by the younger Miss Dunne last summer" preserving a small but meaningful record of the archive's contemporary provenance. This photo archive belong to one of the most consequential transitions in modern Chinese history. The Qing dynasty collapsed in 1912 after more than two and a half centuries of rule ending the imperial system that had governed China since 221 BCE. Although the Republic of China replaced the monarchy Beijing remained filled with imperial architecture ceremonial spaces and religious institutions whose daily rhythms changed only gradually. The Forbidden City was still occupied by the abdicated emperor Puyi until 1924 Buddhist monasteries continued to function throughout the Western Hills and camel caravans remained an essential means of transporting goods across northern China's mountain passes. Foreign travelers could still move through monuments that only a generation earlier had been closely associated with imperial authority while political power increasingly shifted among competing republican governments and regional military leaders during the emerging Warlord Era. Rather than emphasizing political upheaval directly the archive records the remarkable continuity of Beijing's monumental landscape and traditional patterns of travel religion and commerce immediately after the fall of the last Chinese dynasty. Light surface wear occasional corner creasing and scattered silvering consistent with age; manuscript identifications on many versos. Overall in very good condition. A concentrated visual record of Peking and North China at the moment imperial China gave way to the Republic preserving both the enduring ceremonial landscape of the Qing capital and the traditional life that continued beneath profound political change. unknown

Approbation et privilège. Réédition de cet ouvrage paru pour la première fois. en 1776. Jean Barthélemy DAZILLE Médecin du Roi à Saint Domingue Pensionnaire de Sa Majesté Ancien chirurgien - Major des Troupes de Cayenne des Hôpitaux de l'Isle de France etc .Peu fréquent. Provenance : Collection BOUCHARD-GUIARD—PIERRET-THERRE dynastie de médecins et chirurgiens militaires et civils de la fin du XVIIIème à la fin du XXè.OCLC Number / Unique Identifier:1503228295.The book is organized topically by disease and provides concrete recommendations including specific recipes for remedies. In general Dazille counseled better food especially more varied diets; better hospitals equipped with proper beds and a good deal of clean bedding; and better clothing designed to protect from the massive temperature swings that could be common in certain locales. The text shows how ideas of racial difference were hardening in the late 18th century but were not yet set. Within the chapters Dazille shifted readily from general discussions of diseases and bodies to the particular conditions of slavery which is to say not biological difference that resulted in the poor health of enslaved Africans. But at the same time he did make references to Africans’ “libertinage” “loose morals” which could potentially make them ill because they would “exhaust” themselves in seeking out their romantic partners even across long distances after a grueling day of work. This not only speaks to Dazille’s assumption that Africans had certain fixed characteristics but also his refusal to see them as fully human; as much recent scholarship on slavery has shown it was precisely these intimate relationships that enabled the enslaved to hold on to their humanity to forge affective ties that mattered enormously to them.13 But it is not just recent scholarship—many in the 18th century considered a highly affective family life to be one of life’s greatest consolations and indeed a fundamental driving force uniting human society. That Dazille did not consider the emotional needs of the enslaved when writing of their intimate relationships only underscores the limits of his own empathy.

réf. 2616425 March 1944. Garrick Theatre W.C.2. London. On his letterhead. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 1p 12mo. Eighteen lines closely written. On creased grey paper with short closed tear at edge of central crease. The year 1944 has been added in another hand. Addressed to ‘Dear Mr. Macdermid’ and signed ‘Michael Redgrave’. He is grateful to him for the suggestion that he ‘should be an Hon. Associate Member of your Club to which I wish every success’ but feels ‘rather strongly that I must not put my name to anything more than I can actively take part in - even if activity is confined to letter writing etc. which is the case of my Presidency of the Bristol W.E.A. Players for example.’ He finds that ‘People with lively sympathies are apt to become the victims of their enthusiasm and are sooner or later in danger of being known as cranks. For that reason I most gratefully must refuse your offer.’ 25 March [1944]. Garrick Theatre W.C.2. [London]. On his letterhead. unknown
