1910réf. 235901910. Late Qing China and Philippines photo archive depicting military authority public punishment foreign presence and imperial architecture circa 1910 in the years immediately before the Xinhai Revolution ended dynastic rule in China. The Chinese photographs show Beijing monuments urban crowds soldiers execution spectators and foreign personnel at a moment when Qing authority remained visible but unstable. The group places tourist views of imperial architecture beside scenes of coercion and military order linking travel photography to the political crisis of the late Qing state. Photo archive of 32 silver gelatin photographs each 2.5 x 4.25 inches cornered in on 11 x 13.5 inch brown album leaves mainly China with several Philippines views circa 1910. The images show Beijing landmarks including the Temple of Heaven palace buildings imperial gates stone lions carved walls ceremonial terraces walled compounds and garden architecture. Several views show Chinese crowds gathered near military or judicial scenes including a public execution aftermath with a severed head displayed from a pole before laughing onlookers and children with a placard stating the events transpired. Other photographs show Chinese soldiers and civilians in open grounds foreign military or naval personnel a group of men in white naval style uniforms seated in a circle Chinese junks harbor traffic street scenes rickshaws and colonial buildings. The Philippines photographs appear to include Manila street and harbor views a woman and girl a domed theater or civic building tropical shoreline and American colonial urban scenes. China in 1910 stood between the punitive settlement that followed the Boxer Rebellion and the republican revolution that began in Wuchang in October 1911. Foreign troops remained in North China under treaty rights imperial and provincial authorities tried to preserve order through policing army reform and public punishment and revolutionary societies used anti Manchu and anti foreign resentment to attack the legitimacy of Qing rule. The execution photographs show law as spectacle with the punished body displayed before civilians and soldiers rather than hidden within prison administration. The Beijing views record the ceremonial architecture of the dynasty at the same time that its political power was nearing collapse while the Philippines views place China within a wider American and European imperial geography of ports garrisons and colonial travel. Light surface wear toning and occasional fading; mounted with photo corners on album leaves. Overall very good condition. A concentrated visual record of military order public punishment foreign presence and imperial space in East Asia immediately before the fall of the Qing dynasty. unknown

1764réf. 1400London: J. Dodsley 1764. Scare first edition of this document relating to the British occupation of Manila during the Anglo-Spanish War of 1762-3 and an interesting case of international law. In September of 1762 under the command of Draper and Cornish a British fleet of 13 ships containing over 6000 men attacked Manila and following a difficult landing quickly dispatched the Spanish garrison which they outnumbered 10 to 1.They entered the city on October 5 and part of the terms of capitulation was that Spain would pay the British an indemnity of 4 million pesos roughly a million pounds for not pillaging the city. The British evacuated in 1764 when hostilities ceased and Draper enjoyed the highly unusual privilege of presenting the standards of Spain taken in Manila to his alma mater Kings College Cambridge. But the Spanish did not honor this gentlemans agreement claiming that Draper dealt with an unauthorized agent that he himself broke the terms of the agreement etc. In order to press his claim which amounted to £25000 he published the present tract to pressure his government to collect. The tract contains a brief letter to the British Secretary of State outlining his grievance; a bilingual summary in English and French of the Spanish ambassadors grounds for not complying with the terms of the agreement; extracts from the treaty; a refutation by Draper of the claim that he dealt with an unauthorized agent; and an English language treaty signed by the original parties in Manila. But with hostilities over and their attention occupied by other foreign adventures chief among them America the British were in no position to insist and the suit was eventually abandoned.Griffin Bibliography of the Philippines p. 125; Dictionary of National Biography compact ed. I.573. 8vo. 43 pp. Bound in blue wrappers and housed in protective buckram case with title gilt on spine. Minor foxing in margins of final leaves but otherwise absolutely mint. J. Dodsley hardcover

réf. List2928Luzon Philippines likely early 20th century. Seventeen photographs: six measuring 3 ½ x 8 inches five measuring 4 ¾ x 6 ½ inches five measuring 3 ¼ x 3 ¾ inches and one measuring 4 x 5 inches. With Brown Brothers stamps and captions verso; some with editorial overpainting. Worn with some folding missing corners and small tears; excellent contrast; overall very good plus. The US occupation of the Philippines began with Spain’s cession of the islands to the US in 1898 and ended with the Treaty of Manila of 1946. Offered here is a small collection of photographs likely shortly postdating the Philippine-American war showing civilian life and industry in occupied Philippines especially the island of Luzon. The photos show copra processing—dried coconut flesh from which coconut oil is made—timber cutting and cigar and cigarette production. All three were and are important industries in the Philippines but tobacco in particular seems to have had a hold on the populace. Several of the photographs show young children smoking large cigars; one is captioned “A youthful smoker of Manila. The Filipinos smoke cigarettes from the cradle and cigars not long after.” Others show well-dressed young schoolgirls toddlers playing in a miniature nipa hut and panoramic views of the Pasig River and Manila Bay. Of interest to historians of the Philippines’ American colonial period especially its agricultural and productive history. unknown
1950réf. 3741Philippines 1950. Very good. Thirty-one original photographs each measuring 4 x 5 inches. Minor wear and dust soiling. Mostly sharp clean images. Fascinating group of over thirty candid photographs depicting Philippine settlers and their homes on the large southern island of Mindanao just after World War II. Over half over these show settlers and their homes in the Panguantucan and Nabaliwa areas of Bukidnon province in the center of the island as wells as images of coffee and soybean farms a poultry enterprise rural roads and bridges and more. Additional photographs show similar scenes in Lanao del Sur also on Mindanao and a few in the Tinambac municipality of the more central Camarines Sur province -- farmers with their products by the road agricultural families at work a plant nursery and settlers' children in the fields. Mindanao is one of the principal centers of agricultural production in the Philippines and the island was subject to a series of resettlement efforts across the 20th century by both colonial and independent governments aimed at increasing production. The photos are captioned in manuscript in English on the versos and scattered images of crude roads and construction equipment suggest that these images were taken by a U.S. Army engineer or a private contractor after the war. unknown
