réf. 29030801Shaoshan n.d. ca.1950. Indigo blue stitched cloth binding in the Yao minority style 21 x 35 cm. covers very goodold dusty contents first page lower corner restored some old pencil marks seven hand-color outline illustrations plus 5 hand-painted lotus flowers and 6 color brushed Mao slogans on the verso of illustrated pages. The work appears to be a kind of minority color painted book stitched in a fascinating and unusually beautiful style commonly used by minority peoples. The book illustrations seems to have been black-outline printed first then later hand-colored with gouache type colors brushed in. Facing each illustration are found the slogans. On previously blank pages there are lovely lotus flowers a symbol of Buddhism. BINDING: The work was obviously hand-bound using indigo blue looks black and red cloth both appear to be hand dyed the indigo piece could be home-woven rough cotton. The white spine stitching is of a heavy thread and double stitched with extra "x" stitches to give a more "stunning" look. The corners are pre-bound with red after which over-layed with the indigo then stitched. This corner treatment gives the book a more protective binding and prevents wear. Obviously the book was bound with much attention and respect to protect the sayings of Mao. The covers are closed with red and green thick string tied into "frogs" to lock the cover when closed. This is a traditional clothing replacement for buttons. The work is in a limp cloth binding with a lovely feel and has quite charming looks. The book is 20 x 35 cm. when closed. CONDITION: The work has some old pencil scribbles on a couple of page corners as well as some old penned name/small note these do not detract from the whole and are minimal. There is a faint bit of old damp on some pages or their versos. Covers have some old dust on the front with a couple small light colored stains. We are overly critical surely the new owner will be pleased to acquire this one ! UNIQUE HANE-MADE HAND-DRAWN WORK: All in all an unusual item from the beginning of communism in China. The book was found in Changsha Honan province at the site of the Mao Museum open market. The seller looked like a minority Yao and stated she brought it from home which was also Mao's home town in Shaoshan. Regardless of the story the book appears to be precisely what she described it to be. In an effort to convince others of their devotion to Mao especially in small communities throughout China many minorities continued their handi-crafts and made Mao tribute pieces. Such favorite slogans as "LONG LIVE MAO 10000 YEARS" "DONT EAT TOO MUCH RICE" "SAVE COAL" DONE USE TOO MUCH COOKING GAS" "WORK TOGETHER" "BE POLITICALLY CORRECT." . unknown

1900réf. 20644AB1900. around 1900 165 : 245 cm. Watercolor Nice view of a park-like landscape of Hadley Common. on the reverside described with pencil 'Hadley Common Heart Barnet' - Hadley Common was once part of a great expanse of land known as Enfield Chase External link. This was a favourite place of the Tudor External link monarchs for hunting. Local people including the inhabitants of Hadley were allowed to keep sheep and cows on the land as well as take some firewood. - After the English Civil War External link some of the common was sold so that houses could be built. Mount House had been built by 1754 since 1947 it has been St Martha's Convent School. The Chase was divided up between landowners after 1777 with the 240 acres in the parish of Monken Hadley becoming Hadley Common. - Anyone who owned more than three acres in Hadley was allowed what were called "stints" that is they were allowed to graze cattle on the new common. Unlike other parts of Enfield Chase Hadley Common has remained mostly wooded. - A large ancient tree "Warwick's Oak" stood near the village until around 1941. It was supposed to be where Earl Warwick was killed during the Battle of Barnet but this is probably a local legend. - Under Pseepartout. - Houses were built just below the common by the 16th century. The house next to Hurst Cottage is thought to be Tudor in origin. Most however were built during the 18th century. Folly Farm had fun fairs during the summer until 1939. unknown
