1913Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original wrappers. Light stains on the front cover. Otherwise a good copy. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 11 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 48 p. First printed edition of this earliest travel account of China in the Islamic world and description of the early 16th century China and the Ming Dynasty by Nakkâs, the leader of the delegation sent by Mirza Shahruh (son of Tamerlane). This book is known also "Hitaynama" [i.e. The book of China], which was translated by Çelebizâde and published by Ali Emirî. Hitay, or Hitai, is the name given to northern China by the Uyghurs, Mongols, and some peoples in Medieval Europe. This area contains northern China, Beijing, and certain regions of Manchuria, between the Great Wall of China and the Yellow River (Huang He). Ming dynasty and Tamerlane relations were always tense. After Tamerlane's death (at last his Chinese campaign), his son Mirza Shahruh sent a delegation to the Chinese emperor, which included Nakkâs. His book written in Persian was completed in 1422. In his book, he described their three year-voyage which started from Herat to Pekin. There is valuable information in this travel book on many topics such as the size of the Chinese court of the Ming dynasty in Han-Balik-Pekin, the multitude of the emperor's servants, the emperor's wooden seating ceremonies, banquets for the ambassadors, the characteristics of the rooms they stayed in, the emperor's religion and the way of worship, etc. At the beginning of the 15th century, the book was presented to Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent and Sultan Selim.

The main historical significance of Dr. Janse's archaeological documents is to be found in the fact that they not only introduce to us the Chinese conquerors of what was to become Vietnam, at the very moment when they were laying its foundations as a civilized nation, buy they also reflect on Chinese culture and conditions even at home and may help to give us a clearer idea of what the Chinese were, about the beginning of our era, and what their quest was, so far south of the Honanese cradle of their civilization.

"Echo des Oeuvres et des Missions de la Société de Marie" puis "Organes des Missions et des Oeuvres", elle propose un panorama tout à fait remarquable et passionnant des développements de ces missions dans le monde entier : par exemple au Mexique (Durango...), en Europe (Autriche, Espagne, Belgique, Italie, Suisse...), avec une prédilection pour l'Amérique et l'Asie. On remarque ainsi les nombreux articles consacrés aux missions d'Asie, celles de Chine et surtout aux missions du Japon (Urakami, Tokyo, ...) ainsi qu'aux missions développées aux Etats-Unis (Dayton, Cleveland, Colombus, Erie, Chicago, Honolulu aux Iles Sandwich futur Hawaï, etc.). Les comptes-rendus de mission, ou les visites pastorales des supérieurs en Asie ou en Amérique sont souvent illustrés et font l'objet d'articles du plus grand intérêt. La revue devient "Marianiste" de 1959 à 1969 puis "Présence Marianiste" à partir de 1970. Etat très satisfaisant (dos frottés et qq. petits accrocs sur certains dos n'affectant pas le texte, anciens cachets et cotes de bibliothèques religieuse en dos) pour cet ensemble très rare, rassemblant l'intégralité de cette impressionnante série suivie des numéros du "Messager de la Société de Marie" et de la revue 'l'Apôtre de Marie" de 1897 à 1987.

A good copy of a now remarkably scarce work profusely illustrated with remarkable black and white photographic portraits and panoramas and detailed chapters on everything from history geography culture and specific industries like shipping manufacturing agriculture and trade. Whilst earlier works in the series focussed exclusively on British colonial interests Western Australia Natal Ceylon and British Malaya the editor notes that: "More than one half the imports and exports of China passes through the various Treaty Ports and it would have been a negation of one of the avowed objects of these publications if no attempt had been to show the present-day tendency of this trade and how the proportion borne by the British Empire compares with that of its competitors". The series served as a handsome soft power testament to British colonial might and aspiration. . Lloyd's Greater Britain Publishing Company, Ltd. hardcover

First edition thus of this remarkable group of collotypes reproducing drawings made from the famed frescoes of the renowned Tang Dynasty artist Wu Tao-Tze -- Godoshi in Japanese 680-760. Believed to have painted hundreds of frescoes on Temples representing the Buddhist purgatory or inferno they were of such dramatic power many on viewing them repented of their sins and nearly all were destroyed through the Cultural Revolution and development. All his artworks have either been preserved by being incised on stone as woodcuts or as Chinese brush drawings. These drawings taken from Dr. Martin’s Collection were rendered originally by Li Lung Mien 1070-1106 a Sung master painter and superb draftsman who has been often considered the Leonardo da Vinci of China.

1931réf. 23260Shanghai: Kelly and Walsh 1931. Hardcover. Very good condition. A presentation copy of a scarce volume celebrating the 25th anniversary of a Danish engineering company that brought western technology to the industrial development of 1900s China and secured the exclusive right to represent General Electric in China. Andersen Meyer first worked on a joint basis with an American import export firm based in Shanghai named Fearon Daniel & Company to set up an engineering firm in China. In 1907 it won the right to represent G. E. in China and in 1908 secured its first large contract with the Mukden Electric Light Works. The firm quickly diversified from the construction and engineering fields to partner with American makers of textile machinery and equipment selling the first cotton mill entirely equipped with American machinery. It also expanded into power plant machinery electrical machinery including Xray equipment plumbing and heating equipment agricultural machinery and drugs and chemicals. Offices were located in Tientsin Peiping Harbin Mukden Hankow Tsingtao Tsinan Hong Kong and Canton. Meyer Andersen represented the major American manufacturers of the day from G. E. American Radiator International Harvester Masonite Parke Davis once America's oldest and largest drug maker Sherwin Williams and more. This is a signed presentation copy to a long term business associate who was the principal of a company acquired by Pittsburgh Coal Co. from the founder Vilhelm Meyer and signed below Meyer's frontispiece portrait: "F. L. Robbins with thanks for your long and loyal cooperation. From your old friend Vilhelm Meyer. March 1931". The first section is written in English; the second section in Chinese translated and prepared by Kuang Chao Lee with a special title page and separate pagination with Chinese numerals. The volume is impressive for its wide array of b&w photographic illustrations in all the areas in which the company operated including staff portraits showrooms of the various departments interior views of factories including cotton & silk mills power plants lighting of Shanghai buildings railway and locomotive equipment and workshops and bridge construction. There is an unusual double spread photograph of the Bund in Shanghai with 29 numbered buildings and a chart below listing all the heating supplies provided by Andersen Meyer to the prominent landmark buildings all along the waterfront! pp92-93. The many images in a broad range of fields provide a vivid sense of the tremendous impact of western technology on China's industrial growth. In 1934 Vilhelm Meyer died and the ownership of the company passed to its main American partner General Electric. In 1949 following the founding of the People's Republic of China many international firms in Shanghai were nationalized including Andersen Meyer. By 1950 it was completely Chinese controlled.
