Stiff glossy paper covers measures 10.25 inches 26 cm x 14.5 inches 37 cm with 22 architectural drawings almost all full page and mainly in full color. We could find no record of this publication outside of China. The text is entirely in Chinese. The Google translation of the text on the fifth photograph is as follows: "Architectural drawing is an important means for architectural designers to express their design intentions explore design plans and improve their artistic accomplishments. In their design practice many architectural designers have drawn a large number of architectural drawings and they also often do architectural sketches. This album is selected from the drawings sent to our agency by many architectural designers and art workers across the country. After our agency issued a notice to collect architectural drawings in March this year many architectural designers and teachers from the Department of Architecture of colleges and universities responded enthusiastically and sent more than 1700 works. Our agency invited relevant experts to form an architectural painting selection committee to evaluate these works. The selection committee was composed of the following comrades: Bai Zuomin Qi Kang Zhu Ying Hua Yiyu Du Rujian Wu Liangyong He Zhenqiang Zhang Kaiji Zhong Xunzheng Xi Xiaopeng Huang Yuanqiang Peng Yigang and Dai Nianci. After repeated evaluation more than 200 excellent works were selected. When selecting the proportion of the number of works of each type of painting was appropriately considered. This album will be published on the eve of the 30th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. We hope that this album can reflect the great achievements of my country's socialist construction from one aspect and at the same time we also hope that this album can play a role in exchanging architectural painting techniques and improving the artistic quality of architectural designers.

1949réf. 205951949. Unidentified press photographers Mao Zedong photograph archive 1949-1972 documents Chinese Communist Party leadership and international diplomatic engagement during the consolidation and global positioning of the People's Republic of China supporting research into Cold War political culture state media practices and representations of authority. The group includes images spanning from the founding period of the People's Republic through the Cultural Revolution and into the early 1970s diplomatic realignments providing visual evidence of how Mao's image circulated through press networks. The material captures both staged political encounters and informal moments including early association with Soviet leadership and later interactions with foreign dignitaries establishing a longitudinal record of leadership imagery across shifting geopolitical contexts. Eight press photographs primarily silver gelatin prints ranging in size from approximately 3 x 3.75 inches to 8 x 11 inches originating from a press archive and bearing evidence of editorial handling. Seven photographs appear to be period press prints with two later reprints. The earliest image shows Mao Zedong seated beside Joseph Stalin during Stalin's seventieth birthday celebration in 1949 with areas of the image shaded by hand for publication emphasis. A 1966 photograph depicts Mao seated indoors reading a newspaper and smoking presenting a controlled but informal representation of leadership. Another image from the same year shows Mao standing at a railing beside Lin Biao suggesting a public appearance or review setting. Later photographs include Mao in the presence of two Black women during a diplomatic encounter likely connected to outreach toward African nations as well as two 1972 images showing meetings with Asian prime ministers at Zhongnanhai the central leadership compound in Beijing. The photographs consistently show formal staging grouped delegations and controlled environments typical of state-mediated press imagery. Produced and circulated during a period that includes the Sino-Soviet alliance the Cultural Revolution and early 1970s diplomatic outreach the archive provides insight into how Mao's image functioned within both domestic propaganda and international political communication. The inclusion of figures such as Stalin and Lin Biao situates the material within key moments of alliance and internal fracture while the presence of African and Asian representatives reflects China's engagement with postcolonial states. Minor handling wear consistent with press use including editorial markings and light surface wear; prints remain clear with strong tonal range. Overall in very good condition. unknown books

1930réf. 236931930. Western travel photo archive depicting Shanghai Chefoo Beijing and northern Chinese landscapes 1930 to 1938 recording the routes attractions and social encounters available to foreign travelers during the final decade before the Second Sino Japanese War transformed movement through coastal and northern China. The photographs move between the commercial modernity of Shanghai's waterfront the resort and treaty port environment of Chefoo imperial architecture near Beijing and river travel through mountainous terrain. Street portraits of rickshaw pullers itinerant vendors and an impoverished man also register the unequal relationship between foreign tourism and the Chinese labor on which it depended. Photo archive of 22 silver gelatin photographs China 1930 to 1938. ranging from 2 x 3 to 3.5 x 5 inches Shanghai views show the skyline and harbor from the water shipping along the waterfront traffic near the Bund rickshaw stands and the Western couple seated in rickshaws beside their pullers. Other photographs depict men carrying large suspended baskets two rickshaw pullers resting beside their vehicles and a full length portrait bearing the printed caption "Chinese special beggar." Northern views include the Summer Palace its lake bridges balustrades painted corridor and hillside architecture; boat travel through steep barren gorges; and broad river landscapes in which small craft are set against sharply eroded mountains. Handwritten versos identify "Summer Palace" "Chefoo No. China" and "On the Bund" with two photographs dated August 1938. A studio portrait is inscribed "Idabela Father Main Shanghai 1930" providing names for two members of the traveling party. Several prints carry additional captions en verso including references to Chefoo and a multi day boat journey. The archive belongs to the treaty port geography that structured much Western travel in Republican China. Shanghai's Bund served as the monumental commercial frontage of the International Settlement while Chefoo now Yantai had developed through foreign trade consular activity missionary residence and seasonal tourism. The Summer Palace offered travelers a carefully preserved landscape of Qing imperial architecture and garden design outside Beijing here photographed through its corridors bridges lake and elevated buildings. The photographs preserve both the travelers' itinerary and the visual categories through which foreigners encountered China: modern port imperial monument dramatic landscape hired transport street labor and poverty presented as a tourist subject. Light surface wear occasional creasing and edge wear mild toning and some fading; several versos inscribed in pencil or ink. Overall in good condition. A firsthand record of Western mobility through Republican China and of the Chinese workers urban spaces historic sites and transport networks encountered along the route. unknown books
1939réf. 235931939. Japanese occupation of China photo archive depicting military administration and daily life in Hangzhou 1939 documenting how the Imperial Japanese Army imposed control over one of China's most important cultural capitals during the early years of the Second Sino Japanese War. Captured by Japanese forces in December 1937 after the collapse of Chinese defenses following the Battle of Shanghai and the fall of Nanjing Hangzhou remained under occupation until 1945 becoming part of Japan's expanding system of military rule across eastern China. These photographs record both the machinery of occupation and the altered rhythms of civilian life showing soldiers prisoners bomb damage public spaces transportation and ordinary residents living within a city under foreign military control. Photo archive of 25 silver gelatin photographs each measuring 1.75 x 2.25 inches Hangzhou China 1939. The photographs show Japanese soldiers drilling posing in uniform and participating in military ceremonies; guards standing beside railway rolling stock and station platforms; troops demonstrating rifle marksmanship; prisoners or detainees under military supervision; and Japanese personnel engaged in what appears to be ceremonial or recreational activities. Civilian life appears throughout the group in photographs of Chinese women children fishermen street scenes market districts temple architecture lakeside promenades pavilions around West Lake and interior commercial displays bearing Chinese signage. Several images record extensive wartime destruction including collapsed neighborhoods burned waterfront districts ruined masonry buildings smoking urban landscapes and cleared industrial sites. The archive juxtaposes military occupation with recognizable landmarks of Hangzhou producing a visual record of a city simultaneously functioning as an occupied administrative center and enduring the physical consequences of invasion. The Japanese Army occupied Hangzhou on 24 December 1937 as it advanced through Zhejiang following the capture of Shanghai and Nanjing incorporating the city into a broader occupation regime that relied upon military garrisons transportation networks local policing and collaborationist administration to secure eastern China. During 1939 the occupation entered a more settled phase in which combat receded inside the city while military infrastructure rail transport public order and civilian adaptation became defining features of everyday life. The combination of military personnel damaged urban landscapes traditional cultural sites transportation facilities and civilian activity distinguishes this archive from purely battlefield photography by documenting the coexistence of violence governance and ordinary existence within an occupied Chinese city. Light surface wear and occasional silvering at the edges; overall in very good condition. A concentrated visual record of Japanese military occupation and civilian life in Hangzhou during the formative years of the occupation of eastern China. unknown books
1930réf. 222401930. China family photograph album. 1930s-1960s. This album documents family life across major political transitions in twentieth-century China including the Republican period the years of Japanese occupation and the early decades of the People's Republic. The photographs record everyday experience across multiple regions showing movement between northern southern and northeastern cities as well as Hong Kong and provide visual evidence of how individuals and families navigated changing political and social conditions.

Album containing 107 original black-and-white silver gelatin photographs mounted in a string-bound volume with individual prints ranging approximately from 1.25 x 1.5 to 4 x 6 inches. The photographs include studio portraits with painted backdrops from the 1930s family groupings of multiple generations and school portraits of children posed in uniform before institutional buildings. Clothing varies between Western-style suits and traditional garments such as qipao indicating shifts in dress across time and place. Urban scenes show streets promenades docks and architectural landmarks with some images bearing printed or written location identifications in Chinese. Several photographs depict travel aboard a passenger vessel suggesting movement between mainland cities and Hong Kong. Industrial environments and city signage appear in images associated with Shenyang and Fushun reflecting the presence of major industrial centers in northeastern China. The album spans decades marked by war occupation and state formation when cities such as Shenyang and Anshan developed as industrial hubs under Japanese control and later under the People's Republic while Hong Kong functioned as a site of movement and exchange. The combination of studio portraiture school imagery and travel scenes provides a continuous record of family life through these changes linking private experience to broader historical conditions. Light edge wear and toning to photographs with occasional spotting and minor marks to mounts; overall very good. A substantial visual record of Chinese family life across shifting political and geographic landscapes in the mid-twentieth century. unknown books

Jacket design by Jean Carlu. The revolutionary journalist's major work a memoir of her twelve years as a correspondent on the front lines of both the Chinese revolution and the Second Sino-Japanese War from 1929 to 1942. Smedley 1892-1950 was a prolific left journalist and probable spy known for her active support of Chinese and Indian revolutionary causes and for her many writings on Maoist China. The laid-in letter of about 250 words is dated Dec. 26 and addressed to a young Army lieutenant from Michigan Eugene S. Brewer. Smedley discusses the recent U.S. Presidential elections stating that she voted for Roosevelt despite disagreeing with "many things Roosevelt has done and still does.but I was afraid of Dewey and his rotten reactionaries. Now I grow more and more afraid of Churchill and it would be a godsend if he'd fall dead or if someone would kindly bump him off." She comments on British policy in India: "As long as Nehru remains in prison I have no hearing for any agent of the British" - and concludes with a description of her work for China relief "raffling off things for 2 weeks to aid cultural workers in Chung King.I'm tired tramping the streets selling chances for 10¢! So much work for so little." Eugene S. Brewer 1914-2001 was a 1935 graduate of the University of Michigan. He won a 1938 Avery Hopwood Prize for a proletarian novel apparently never published "Some Brass and No Groceries." After a brief and apparently unremarkable scriptwriting career in Hollywood Brewer returned to his home town of Owosso Michigan where he was for many years a county planner and surveyor. Brewer's connection to Smedley is uncertain but likely dated from his student days at Michigan. Alfred A. Knopf unknown books

1928réf. 6054Shanghai China: February 24 1928. Very good. 1p. plus colored woodblock print 21.5 x 12.5 inches. With original envelope. Old folds minor wear. Mimeographed fundraising letter sent by Reverend H.G.C. Hallock to a supporter in Vermont. Henry Galloway Comingo Hallock 1870-1951 was a West Virginia native who studied at Princeton Theological Seminary. He moved to China as a Presbyterian missionary and teacher in 1905 where he taught Sunday School served as a pastor and also taught theology at St. John's University in Shanghai. He survived war disease famine and a Japanese prison during World War II; he died in China in 1951. One thing that set Hallock apart was his inclusion of local Chinese woodblock prints with his fundraising letters which today have become desirable collectibles. Such a print is present here showing the God of War Wu-ti. His letter opens discussing the print: "Wars in China suggest sending you 'Wu-ti' the Chinese god-of-war. . The general idea about Wu-ti is that he delights in war. That is not the Chinese idea of him. . Officials and scholars worship him as the ideal of loyalty soldiers do it to make them brave and protect them in battle and the people worship him to protect them from war's horrors. He's called 'Peace Bringer Protector Great God of Loyalty.' But he makes not peace nor protects nor makes loyal so is a failure. He's also called 'Warrior Prince.' As to that name he's a great success! There are lots of wars." He goes on to discuss the many conflicts which are like "a real Chinese puzzle" noting that it's not the people of China who are at issue or fault. "Recently I have received letters from America suggesting that since 'China has altogether gone to the bad and the Chinese are absolutely impossible' and since our 'work among them has gone for nothing' then I should 'quit and come home.' I hope you don't think thus. The masses of Chinese tho reminding me of 'dumb driven cattle' are still friendly as ever. The war-lords the Nationalists the Reds the bandits wars and evil propaganda are disturbing elements; but they are NOT China nor the Chinese. . The troubles in China have come from a fiercely aggressive and 'noisy minority' who make the great mass of Chinese suffer untold hardships." He goes on to defend the Christian work being done in China as of great benefit to the people. February 24 unknown books

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 books
1933réf. 236941933. Colonial Italian Navy photo archive depicting sailors of the gunboat Lepanto in China circa 1933 to 1943 documenting Italy's Tianjin concession Italy's formal colonial territory in China granted in 1901 following the Boxer Rebellion. It covered approximately half a square kilometer and was strategically located on the east bank of the Hai River. Tianjin concession was governed by an Italian military official and maintained its own police force and legal framework. the Italian Navy maintained a strategic presence in China with personnel and several vessels including the gunboats Lepanto and Carlotto to protect Italian concessions in Tianjin and Shanghai. Originally built as an Azio class minelayer Lepanto reached Shanghai in 1933 and was reclassified as a gunboat in 1934 for coastal and Yangtze service protecting Italian citizens missions and treaty port interests. A United States Navy photograph places the vessel on the Whangpoo River at Shanghai during the mass evacuations of 1937 where foreign warships occupied the same congested waterway as refugee steamers and commercial traffic. The archive records this overseas station from the viewpoint of its sailors moving between shipboard hierarchy armed readiness collective leisure Chinese urban life and monumental sites visited under naval escort. Photo archive of 58 silver gelatin photographs ranging from 2" x 2" to 2" x 3.5" China circa 1933 to 1943. The photographs show Lepanto moored in Chinese harbors; Italian sailors posed on deck beside shipboard fittings and beneath the motto "In hoc signo vinces"; officers addressing assembled crews; uniformed men gathered around deck guns; rifle practice on open ground; sailors carrying packs and weapons; and formal and informal portraits of ratings petty officers and decorated officers. Group photographs place sailors at the Temple of Heaven and before other Chinese ceremonial buildings gates monuments and courtyards while wider views record Shanghai and Tientsin waterfronts docks municipal architecture Chinese junks sampans bridges rail lines and harbor shipping. Several images show Chinese residents at close range including children boatmen laborers and crowds encountered during shore leave; others depict shipboard entertainments meals athletic groups relaxed deck scenes and men photographed in work clothes apart from formal naval ceremony. The recurrence of the vessel uniformed crews weapons exercises official gatherings and organized excursions establishes the working structure of an Italian station ship rather than a general tourist itinerary. Italy's naval deployment in China descended from the foreign military privileges established after the Boxer Uprising including the Italian concession at Tientsin and the maintenance of armed detachments consular facilities and river patrol vessels. Lepanto replaced the aging gunboat Sebastiano Caboto and spent a decade operating from Shanghai and along the Yangtze using its shallow draft to reach places inaccessible to larger warships during years of civil conflict Japanese expansion and the Sino Japanese War. Following Italy's armistice with the Allies the crew scuttled Lepanto at Shanghai on September 9 1943 to prevent seizure; Japan raised and recommissioned the vessel as Okitsu in 1944 and the Republic of China received it after Japan's surrender operating it as Hsien Ning.
