The girl was based in a mission-school and the work includes a contemporary note by the Methodist missionary William Eddon.

With best wishes and regards William Eddon Jr." and is dated September 1911. Contemporary missionary directories place Eddon in North China from at least 1902 first at Tongshan and Tientsin and later at Wutingfu in Shantung.

1920réf. 175010China: c. 1920s - 1980s. A golden age of advertising An expansive collection showcasing the evolution and adaptation of visual marketing in China between the 1920s and 1980s including the creation of the "modern girl" image the sinicization of western aesthetics and the survival of Republican-era imagery in communist contexts. Commercial messages are conveyed in a variety of formats including calendars wrappers and packets posters flyers and brochures while others are clipped from magazines. The products advertised include consumer goods such as cigarettes Hatamen Qianmen Golden Road medicines Hong Ren Dan and fireworks Yick Loong as well as agricultural products and fertilizers BM & Co. pencils alarm clocks and fountain pens. Many are rich in colour and call on cultural tropes and touchpoints including elements of traditional culture. The collection represents the high standard of printing executed in Shanghai and other commercial centres especially in the interwar period. Many examples in this collection are targeted towards female consumers. Chinese and foreign advertising agencies quickly recognized that urban women emerging as a wealthy and more independent social group in the early 20th century were both a key market for example for cigarettes and an important marketing tool. From the 1950s onwards these urbane female figures give way to imagery emphasizing socialist and working-class credentials. Provenance: the collection was acquired by a private collector in Shanghai in the mid-1990s and has been in the US for the past three decades. It is offered here for the first time. Approximately 450 items in varying sizes up to 330 x 230 mm with a few duplicates the majority colour lithographs on paper. Predominantly in Chinese with occasional English and Russian. Generally in bright condition the odd tape repair some items with notations and mimeograph printing on verso where later repurposed: a very good collection of fragile material. unknown

1867réf. 192846Fuzhou: 1867. A unique souvenir of 19th-century China A who's who of missionary and diplomatic life in 19th-century China inscribed by Baldwin to Burr on the first leaf. Among the many figures represented are Eliza Bridgman one of the first American female missionaries in China George Seward US consul-general in Shanghai W. A. P. Martin a professor at the Qing court's Tongwenguan in Beijing and Esther E. Baldwin a champion of Chinese immigration to the US. Stephen Livingstone Baldwin 1835-1902 began his missionary service in Fuzhou in 1858 and spent a total of almost two decades in China. In compiling this collection he added biographical information on each signatory often recording when they arrived or left China and their professional position or conference affiliations. The recipient Jonathan Kelsey Burr 1825-1882 was a Methodist reverend like Baldwin but served the entirety of his ministry in the US. Other signatures belong for example to the sinologist-translators James Legge and John Chalmers Charles Sinclair British consul Fuzhou Samuel Wells Williams Justus Doolittle and E. F. C. Magrath who shortly after she arrived in China in 1858 opened one of the first schools for girls in Hong Kong. Duodecimo 150 x 110 mm. With 53 clipped signatures laid onto 11 ruled leaves 8 signatures direct to leaves manuscript captions. Recent marbled boards green label on front cover.

Catties cowries candarines and comashees An otherwise untraced pocket reference for supercargos with alphabetically arranged sections for major destinations along eastern trade routes including China Medina Mecca Bengal Bombay and Batavia. The final page concerns Japan evidence of British commercial dealings with the Dutch East India Company. Pages 19-24 concern the sterling value of local coins offering exchange rates for the Chinese tael a Bengali English crown and for sequins dollars piastres and other currencies used in Arabia. For Bengal a special section discusses sea shells cowries as a currency for "coolies labourers and other small payment" over 2400 cowries making one "current rupee". The publisher David Steel 1734-1799 specialized in handbooks charts maps and other maritime material for naval use and for seaborne commerce. Trading out of his warehouse at Little Tower Hill Steel built a publishing empire that was continued by his son of the same name and his daughter-in-law Penelope Steel. The latter continued the business alone following David Steel the younger's death in 1803. In 1775 Steel published two other longer works for the India and China trade including the 56-page Indian Trader's Complete Pocket-Assistant which was an expanded form of the present handbook.

1867réf. 193376Mainly China and Japan: 16 October 1863 - 29 July 1867. Tensions and turbulence in the treaty ports A revealing source spanning Courtenay's entire East Asia command during which Scylla - a wooden screw corvette - patrolled the coast of China and Japan. Courtenay spent five months as the senior officer in charge of the Shanghai division bringing him into contact with the likes of Sir Harry Parkes and also co-ordinated anti-piracy operations. Courtenay 1820-1894 made captain in 1859 and was promoted to vice-admiral in 1881. These letters report on Scylla's movements and occurrences onshore. Many recently opened cities were still tense and Western officers and civilians faced jeering stone-throwing and other acts of xenophobia. A lengthy letter from 2 September 1864 sent to Vice-Admiral Sir Augustus Kuper the commander-in-chief describes anti-foreign sentiment in Nagasaki in the wake of the Namamugi Incident and the Battle of Shimonoseki Straits. He records measures taken to counteract the influence of soldiers deployed in disguise by the hostile Choshu domain and relays rumours of a Choshu attack on the European enclave. "Considering that there are fifty people here either Dutch or under Dutch protection I am surprised that there should be no vessel of war of that nation here." In Amoy the ship's arrival "caused great excitement: numerous reports were spread of the reason of her coming among others are to the effect that we had landed several hundred men and that I was going to the city to seize the tautai" 26 December 1865. Care was also required in dealing with the Russians Courtenay reminding his officers to be "extremely guarded in asking questions or making observations" 25 July 1866. Other correspondence concerns piracy. Courtenay found the Chinese maritime police "utterly inefficient" 30 November 1865 and used his authority to send the gunboat HMS Grasshopper to seize lorchas on the coast. Quarto 320 x 205 mm. With 70 leaves filled with neat manuscript in several hands 2 bound- or tipped-in manuscript slips; additional blank. Recent quarter calf spine lettered in gilt green cloth sides front cover lettered in gilt green endpapers. A little marking internally: a well-preserved example. hardcover
