THE STUNNING GOLD OVER BLACK ILLUSTRATED LACQUER COVERS: This is a very unusual binding hand-painted in gold lacquer over black lacquer background on wooden boards. .

The Lord & master is seen seated before a tea service with three golden cups and a golden ceramic tea pot. The Lord & Master reaches for the hand of his fair and very young concubine who holds a fan.

He was the brother of Lam-Qua 1801-1860 and probably a close relation of Spoilum. Ting-qua's studio at 16 China Street Guangzhou was perhaps the most prolific source of Chinese export paintings of its time. Working in a manner influenced by Western artistic traditions Ting-qua and the painters of his studio restricted themselves to gouache and water-colors perhaps to avoid rivalry with Lam-qua's oil paintings. Their pictures which were often sold in sets." . PITH PAPER: The paintings were done on pith paper. "Pith paper or rice paper" a misnomer as it is sometimes known is made from the inner pith of the plant Tetrapanex papyrifera which is a member of the Araliaceae family. The plant is a shrub native to Southern China and Taiwan. As well as a painting material pith paper was used to make artificial flowers and surgical dressings." . RARITY: Gouache pith paintings are now rare most were damaged cracked and brittle rendering them useless. The few that survived are considered RARE and uncommon. The paintings were drawn with much skill and patience and were for the most part drawn for and sold to foreigners in the treaty ports of China in the early 19th century. Drawn with a fine brush in vivid colors the paintings depicted things that would fascinate foreigners and encourage them to bring home as souvenirs. The current examples shows portraits of Chinese officials guards military men as well as upper class citizens. . Albums of pith paintings were typically issued in a suite of twelve. .

réf. 16092Kemble Parochial School Record Book 1871-1904. Kemble Cirencester Gloucestershire. Collection of approximately over 100 documents on approximately 180 leaves many written on both sides comprising the complete records of the Kemble Parochial School. Unbound contained in original protective black cloth boards. Large legal "foolscap" size pages. Comprising both printed Circulars directed to the schools from the Education Department and handwritten copies of records the school was ordered to send as reports to the Education Department. This school is built from grant money received in the wake of the first of the Forster Acts known as the Elementary Education Act of 1870 which made education compulsory in England and Wales for all children aged 5 to 13. The Forster Acts named for the sponsor of the original bill William Forster brought a sweeping change to elementary education in England by declaring public education for children to be mandatory. It also mandated that the schools should be publicly funded and overseen by regular inspections. The Kemble Parochial school founded at the very inception of this legislation provides a window into the dramatic shift to public education. The first document in this record is a Circular of Instructions and Rules for the construction of a school building. Through the handwritten retained copies of annual reports by Principal A.G.W. Wilts to the Inspector of Schools we are able to grasp the immensity of the change. Wilt first report comes in 1872 when the schools 18 students were taught in an old traditional schoolhouse by headmistress Ms. Hopkinson who did not have an official certification in teaching "This is an average country School carried on at present in rather inadequate premises but a new and handsome school-room and teacher's residence have just been erected.The mistress is a successful disciplinarian and has much natural aptitude for teaching." By 1875 the school has grown to 49 students though still under the tutelage of the unfortunate Ms. Hopkinson who continues struggling to obtain a teaching credential. By 1878 undergoing regular inspections it is reported that the school needs improvement in multiplication and to better follow the state mandated provisions as to Needlework. Their ranks swelled to around 80 students just before the end of the century before petering out and ending in 1904 with only 3 students registered. By then Ms. Hopkinson had been replaced by two subsequent teachers Ms. Lane and Ms. Reed who also struggle to obtain a Certificate while managing a large class. Circulars from the Education Department show that the idea of public education while welcomed in many quarters arrived also with surprise and some distrust. In 1878 the Circulars report the most recent developments of the Forster Acts "As it has now become evident that by the operation of recent legislation the great majority of the labouring classes will be virtually compelled to send their children to Public Elementary Schools." A major controversy of the Forster Acts surrounded the requirement that the schools operate non-denominationally. While individual churches pushed for the right to educate children under their own religious tenets the Church of England feared that doing so would weaken state control of education. The archive contains notes of this church-state tension in a handwritten letter of 1880 in which the Rev. R.H. Taylor inquires of the Education Department "whether the School is now conducted as a public elementary school.Section VII of the Elementary Education Act 1870 having been conspicuously put up in the School. If not my Lords cannot direct H.M. Inspector to inspect the School annually as a public elementary school." On the lighter side repeated entreaties from the Education Department in Whitehall during the 1870s call for "teachers of Schools will be willing to give their assistance in endeavoring by due warning to the scholars to put a stop to.the mischief caused by throwing stones at the insulators of telegraph wires." Threatened punishments to the "schoolboys" responsible for this "great evil" include "imprisonment and flogging." Documents are in very good condition on large size sheets of blue or white paper clear and legible. Some dog-ears and a couple pages of the archive have been chewed on the corners but most are complete. Names of all enrolled students appear yearly on the Examination Schedule. A very complete set of records and historical resource on the most dramatic transition ever to come to education; that of going from independent schoolhouses to systemized public education. unknown books
1918réf. 57357Fort Sill OK. ca. 1918. Original Photos from the Early Days of the Artillery Training School at Fort Sill A rare commercially produced photo album rendered unique by the addition of thirty original photographs of the U.S. Army Artillery Training School in Fort Sill Oklahoma at the end of World War I. The first section begins with a printed one-page "Short History of the Fort Sill Military Reservation" and consists of mounted photographs in printed frames with printed captions. This printed portion of album is divided into three parts with individual titles: "Fort Sill Oklahoma: The World's Largest Artillery Training Post"; "Medicine Park: Southwest Oklahoma's Pleasure Resort"; and "Some Views of the Comanche and Apache Indians." The second section of the album consists of blank pages for personal photographs here filled with thirty photographs with occasional manuscript captions supplied by an unnamed Army corporal. In addition to photographs of camp buildings artillery emplacements and scenery in and around Fort Sill the album features a number of photographs of the 1918 Victory Day Parade as well as a "pageant" held at the fort where members of the Comanche and Kiowa tribes participated in reenactments of the early frontier days at the fort. Fort Sill was also the birthplace of U.S. combat aviation in 1915 and a few photographs show some of the earliest military planes. The personal photos at the rear of the album include a number of individual soldiers a handful of alternate views of parades and events and the owner's actual cloth uniform stripes pasted to the final page. A rare and interesting look at the early days of a major American military base at the conclusion of World War I. OCLC records two copies of a similar souvenir album which also covers Camp Doniphan but does not locate the present version anywhere. Forty-one mounted photographs with printed captions and an additional thirty original mounted photographs some with manuscript captions most about 2½ x 4½ inches plus pasted-in corporal's stripes on final album leaf. Oblong quarto. Original printed thick wrappers with wrapper title "Souvenir from Fort Sill Oklahoma" tied with string. Spine ends chipped edge wear to wrappers. Photographs lightly faded occasional adhesive residue or paper defects particularly in latter half. Overall very good. hardcover
