		An irreplacable record of the upper Yangtze River as it existed before the building of the Three Gorges Dam (construction began in 1994; completed in 2008), with illustrations and photogravures of natural and historic landmarks now partially or completely submerged by the river.  Although some historic monuments were saved by being dismantled and moved, there are doubtless thousands of undiscovered and unexplored sites which have simply been lost as a result of the dam's construction.  The famed terra cotta warriors of Xian, for example, an astonishing funerary monument representing the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China & consisting of 8,000 full size warriors, was discovered by a farmer in 1974, entirely by accident.The author, a Scottish photographer, lived and worked in China in the early twentieth century; the images included here are from the 1920s.   Illustrations include the following: The Pierced Cliff, Red Rock, Bright Rapid, Ch'ing T'an Village, Yellow Cat Gorge, The Witches Gorge, Otter's Cave Rapid, The Temple of the Yellow Peaks, The Mountain of Learning, Bridge at Wan Hsien, The wind Box Gorge, Lamp Light Gorge, The City of Temples.4to. Bound with a bright gold leaf covered spine and corners; with black embossed bamboo patterned silk and gilt lettering. Illustrated with 50 tipped in plates from photographs, each with a page of descriptive notes; sketches by Lt.Col. H G Gandy. The plates are of China's great waterway, the Yangtze Kiang and also include 12 hand-coloured tipped in photographs. A magnificent production.

		A striking black and white photograph of a street vendor in old Beijing, sitting on a stool and eating a bowl of noodles. This is a sympathetic portrait of the old man, who looks directly at the camera with a broad smile, his chopsticks in mid air.   Possibly the work of Hedda Morrison, a German born photographer who left Germany in 1933 and took a position at a German-owned commercial photographic studio called Hartung's, in the old Legation Quarter of the city then called Peiping. Morrison took many photographs of the old city and its people, temples and markets, mostly using a Rolleiflex medium-format camera.  With the title neatly lettered in black at the lower left corner below the print, and part of a number, possibly 1051, at the lower right corner. 11 1/2 x 8". Small tear at lower right corner.

		Beautiful large silver type photograph of street cleaners on a large avenue in Peking.  Two young cleaners in uniform and caps turn toward the camera as a man pulls a rickshaw to the left.  The young cleaners work with a large wooden bucket placed in the middle of the road; major buildings and a temple are visible in the background.  By the 1920s the street cleaning of Peking was done by a force of over 1,500 uniformed men organized by the health department of the Police Board who used a large tub of water and a willow basket on a the end of a pole to sprinkle the street, in spite of the traffic.  These street cleaners kept the roads not only cleaned and sprinkled, but repaired; when it snowed, they spread a layer of ashes in less than 24 hours.  A charming slice of life photograph of life in the capital city.   7 1/2 x 9 1/2".

	<![CDATA[ 
		One page hand written letter signed 'John Bowring', to a W. Dixon, possibly the English author and editor William Hepworth Dixon, referring to Bowring's friendship with Louis Philippe, the king of France, and General Dumouriez.  The complete text: "My Dear Sir, You may perhaps not deem this (ornate) contribution to history which I enclose unacceptable.  I was very intimate with L. P. having been introduced to him by the only man whom I remember to have had any real influence over him, (one) General Dumouriez." Bowring was an accomplished linguist, writer, translator and diplomat.  Bowring served as the fourth governor of Hong Kong from 1854 to 1859, and became involved in several incidents, including the Arrow Incident and the attacks on Canton which precipitated the Second Opium War. Even though there were standing instructions from the home government to avoid armed conflict with China, Bowring waited only until naval forces that had been involved in the Crimean War were available, and then ordered British gunboats under Rear Admiral Sir Michael Seymour to "punish" Canton. Bowring and Seymour were commended for their actions by Lord Clarendon, the Foreign Secretary.  The war served as a pretext for advancing British and foreign interests in China such as the loosening of trade restrictions and the continuation of the opium trade.Bowring was a prolific author, writing accounts of his missions, works on poetry, and political & economic treatises.  In his 'Autobiographical Recollections', Bowring writes of Louis Philippe and Dumouriez: "I was then intimate with the Duke of Orleans, who was in disgrace at Court. He had been denied the privilege of sitting in the Chamber of Peers, no higher title than Serene Highness was conceded to him, and it was believed that he was the centre of a hundred conspiracies to overturn the government. It was supposed, as I had travelled much, and had had much intercourse with the liberals of Europe, that I was a secret agent, as I undoubtedly was a personal friend of Louis Philippe, to whom I had been originally introduced by General Dumouriez ..."  Charles-Francois du Perier Dumouriez (1739 &1823) was a French general who distinguished himself in the French Revolution, but ultimately defected to the Austrians, having been defeated by them at Neerwinden in 1793, and having fallen under suspicion of the French Directory.  He is said to have fled from France on the horse of the future King Louis Philippe.   5 1/4 x 8in., cream paper, with 'Claremont, Exeter', the family estate's embossed stamp at top.  Written and signed clearly in black ink, dated 20 May 1867.   A bit ruffled at edges, closed short tear, old folds o/w very good.

	<![CDATA[ 
		A remarkable and lively travel account around the world, focusing on Japan, China & India, illustrated with original unmounted albumen photographs.  Fogg traveled by train from Cleveland to San Francisco, via Salt Lake City, where he interviewed Brigham Young and describes the Mormon sights. He took a Pacific Mail Steamer from San Francisco to Japan. He describes Japan in some detail and is largely impressed by what he sees; he then visits China (including Hong Kong), Singapore, Malacca and Penang. He travels on to India before traveling from Bombay to Suez, and thence via the newly completed canal to Cairo and the Pyramids.  The resemblance between the author's name and journey is remarkably similar to the fictional "Phineas Fogg" of Jules Verne's "Round the World in 80 Days", published the same year.  The text is printed in a single column format, likely to have been printed on a proofing press for the newspaper articles that were first printed in the "Cleveland Leader".  OCLC 510794; Smith F45; not recorded in Flake, or "The Truthful Lens".  The book is rare.  In the preface, Fogg states that they were printed in a small number for private distribution.  There is an errata page correcting a fair sprinkling of errors - a previous owner has carefully corrected them in the text as per the errata page.   On the few occasions the book has been recorded, it has been with a varying number of plates, but never as many as this copy.  In 2005, it sold at Christie's for over $5000 us with 28 plates.The original photographs include: Frontispiece portrait of the author signed "With Kind Regards, W. Perry Fogg"; Salt Lake City; Brigham Young; Mt. Starr King YoSemite (sic); Japanese Village; Betto or Groom; Group of Japanese Officers; Bronze Statue of Buddha; The Original "Grecian Bend" (Japanese women in kimonos); Mother and Child; Moats round the Tycoon's Palace - Yedo; Hong Kong Harbor; Queens Street - Hong Kong; Vue d'Macao; Singapore; Penang; First Cataract of the Nile; Mosque of Mohamet Ali - Cairo; Palace of the Viceroy - Alexandria; The Great Pyramid and Sphynx (sic).  The reproductions of prints include: Bridge Scene in Yedo - From a Native Sketch; The Ghauts, Benares; Lucknow - Bridge of Boats; Cawnpore Memorial; Kaiser Bagh or King's Palace, Lucknow; The Taj; The Jumna Musjid, from the North; The Kootub Minar; Street Scene in Cairo; Scene on the Quay at Alexandria or the Arrival of a Steamer. 8vo, &#91;12],&#91;7]-237pp, 30 unmounted albumen photographs (including the frontispiece).  All edges marbled.  Original three-quarter morocco and cloth, gilt globe on front board, spine lettered in gilt. Covers rubbed and worn.  Frontispiece, title page, and through to p.22 with a very faint wedge-shaped watermark in the inner lower margin.  Signed by the author on the frontispiece. Overall a very clean copy, the photographs very dark and sharp.

	<![CDATA[ 
		A folio volume with full page color plates of one of the best known and most prolific Chinese artists of the twentieth century, known as Zhang Daqian, 1899 - 1983 (original name Zhang Yuan).  Zhang Daqian's lotus paintings and landscapes are especially noteworthy.  Zhang and his brother studied painting as children, and traveled to Japan to study textile dyeing techniques. Zhang studied traditional painting in Shanghai, and began to meticulously copy ancient masters' works. He later studied ancient Buddhist wall paintings, enriching his own understanding of religious imagery.  Over time, Zhang became a highly skilled forger; one of his forgeries was acquired by the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston in 1957.  In a recent Museum exhibition, titled  "Zhang Daqian Painter, Collector, Forger" (Dec. 2007 - Sept. 2008), Zhang is described as follows, "As a painter, he was known for his singular ability to mix traditional techniques and styles with contemporary ideas and currents. As a collector, he accumulated important examples from all genres of Chinese painting and left behind copious seals and inscriptions. As a forger, Zhang so mastered the art of deception that his fakes were purchased unwittingly by nearly every major art museum in the United States.... Of particular interest is a master forgery acquired by the Museum in 1957 as an authentic work of the tenth century. The painting, which was allegedly a landscape by the Five Dynasties period master Guan Tong, is one of Zhang's most ambitious forgeries and serves to illustrate both his skill and his audacity."Contents of this folio include: on the art of painting; on painting plum blossoms, orchids, chrysanthemums, bamboo, flowers & plants; flowers and plants in the Mo Ku style, peonies in the elaborate style; on landscapes; on copying old masters; snow scenes; on nature, feeling and attitude; paper and ink; brush and water; birds, fish, animals, humans, classical ladies; painting eyes; of inscriptions, seals and mounting. Folio, 114pp, 74 plates.  Blue cloth covers, traditional binding with title in Chinese on cream silk at front cover, gilt illustration of two figures at lower right, and red stamp.  Housed in a gold and black patterned silk fabric covered slipcase with title label laid down at front cover in English and at rear cover in Chinese; with loop and peg fasteners.  Slipcase very gently rubbed at corners, o/w very good.  The folio and plates in fine condition.

		A series of 12 original gouaches on pith paper, mounted on wove paper album pages with blue silk ribbon.  The pictures illustrate all phases of the tea industry - planting, harvesting, processing, sorting, labeling the tea chests, selling and drinking.   Pith painting albums were popular as inexpensive and easily transported souvenirs in the period following the growth in the China Trade in the first quarter of the 19th century.  Because many pictures were sold in albums and hence protected from the light, they retain their bright colors to this day.  Botanicals and landscapes were common - occupationals, such as this one, somewhat less so.  They were also quite fragile.  Crossman states, "The other paper commonly used for watercolors and gouaches, after 1800, was pith... The pith paper is a very fragile medium to work on and many of those watercolors which have survived are cracked and broken... Watercolors in sets of between 12 and 36 pictures, showing the growing, processing, and shipping of tea... were popular from the middle of the 18th century through the 19th."  Crossman, "The China Trade," pp 95-97.  Overall, the paintings in this album are in excellent condition, some with some minor cracking in the lower margin.  Oblong 8vo album measuring 8.5 x 11.5", the images measuring 6.75 x 9.75".  Red brocade silk covered boards & silk ties, binding expertly tightened, corner of back board mended.

		In 1909 at the annual dinner of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, Sir Thomas Sutherland described the founding of the bank in Hong Kong, stating that the "good people" of Bombay had recently started a Royal Bank of China but had appropriated to themselves about three fourths of the share capital.  Sutherland then went to work establishing a bank , worked up a prospectus and took it to the leading firms who all signed on as members of the provisional committee (with the exception of Jardine, Matheson), so that when the ambassador from the Bank of China arrived "he could not get anybody to take a single share in his capital; he could not discover a possible director anywhere, and ... within an incredibly short space of time the Royal Bank of China was wound up in Bombay with somewhat unfortunate if not ignominious results".  (Chap. 1, p24).  A study of the  history of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation in the context of Asian politics, written to celebrate the 100th anniversary of its founding. Contents include: the founding of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation; The bank opens in Japan; the Jackson Era; Branch offices; the Chinese Railway Loans; The end of the Manchu Dynasty and Yuan Shi-K'ai; the War Lord Period; Vladivostok and the Bolsheviks; Manchuria becomes the Japanese Puppet State of Manchukuo; China Abandons the Silver Standard; The Japanese Irruption and the Loss of Hong Kong; and Hong Kong regained, Reconstruction of the Bank.  4to, xii, 269pp, profusely illustrated.

Fortune was a Scottish born plant collector who traveled to China under the aegis of the London Horticultural Society, to search for blue flowering peonies, peaches and tea plants. In a second journey to China for the East India Company he shipped more than 20,000 tea plants and tea seedlings to India, thus establishing the Indian tea industry. The second edition is important due to its appendix, which is entitled "Method of Transmitting Plants from one country to another by sea in "Ward's Cases" and its additional text on tea.

		Chromolithograph poster of smiling Chinese baby dressed in red and on a deep blue background pointing to smallpox vaccination marks on his chubby arm.  In 1926 the Shanghai Rotary Club was concerned about an impending smallpox epidemic in China; it took responsibility for a public education campaign for vaccination, and asked the Health Education council to submit a poster.  Ironically, the British American Tobacco Company (China) Ltd printed the posters at cost.  With Chinese characters in white on blue ground. 9 1/2 x 14 in.

	<![CDATA[ 
		FIRST EDITION OF THE FAMOUS DESCRIPTION OF CHINA BY DAPPER.    Dapper is considered one of three works that "exercised a considerable influence on the European conception of China and were widely used and reproduced." (Lowendal, Sino-Western Relations, no. 145).    "In this influential work, Dapper describes the Dutch admiral Balthasar Bort's expeditions along the coast of southern China in 1663 and 1664 as well as the third Dutch trade mission to Beijing, which was led by Pieter van Hoorn in 1666 to 1668... The book's engraved title page shows the emperor dressed in ceremonial garb and seated cross-legged beneath a canopy.  He is surrounded by Chinese engaged in stereotypical activities (calligraphy, hawking goods such as pearls and lacquerware), and Chinese products (a caged bird, a steaming teapot) are arrayed beside him, almost as if he were a merchant.  The emperor was rarely seen by foreigners, and this depiction of him as a vendor in a public marketplace is completely fictitious...In the foreground, below the emperor, a young European woman wearing a pearl necklace steps from a shell that holds a compass (symbolizing Western navigational triumphs) into a small boat whose muscular Chinese oarsman seems to have felled the warriors thrashing in the water.  Read from top to bottom, the full-page print is a visual summary of the political hierarchy in China, the economic interest of Europe, and the Chinese cultural milieu from a European perspective."  Reed et al, "China on Paper", p 146.  The last section gives an historical, geographical & cultural description of China. Folio, title in red and black.  (12 3/8 x 7 7/8")  (8)-504pp- &#91;6], -163 (=263) &#91;1] pp (some pages mispaginated).  38 engraved plates (5 folding, 27 double page, 6 single page), 1 folding map & 57 text engravings.  The vivid copper engravings illustrate court life, costumes, customs, language, botany, religion, etc.  A very nice copy with crisp, deep impressions and fresh text, bound in full original brown mottled calf (joints rubbed but sound).  Spine with 6 compartments & raised bands, gilt decorated.  A very nice copy of an influential book that was reprinted in German & English.  Cordier, BS 2348; Lowendahl no. 145;  China on Paper, p. 146.
