A propos de cet article

Oblong 8vo (150 x 225 mm). (2), 40; 40; 40; 40, (2) pp. 160 black-and-white photographs, all under protective tissue paper guards. Publisher's orange-brown pictorial cloth, marbled endpapers. First and only edition of a rare work with photographs of the 1911 Chinese Revolution, with captions in Chinese and English. It was published specifically for circulation in the West and consists of 14 parts, of which the present work contains the first four. Any volume in this series is exceptionally rare, as we have not been able to locate another copy in sales records of the past century. - The Chinese Revolution of 1911 was an important event in Chinese history, as it resulted in the establishment of the Republic of China. The revolution was preceded by decade of revolts, since Chinese citizens had already been dissatisfied with the rule of the Qing dynasty (1636-1912) for some time. The revolution started in October 1911 with the Wuchang uprising, after which similar revolts broke out across the country. The Qing court then initiated negotiations with the revolutionaries. Both parties came to the agreement that the emperor, who was only six years old, had to abdicate in February 1912. The revolutionary statesman Sun Yat-Sen (1866-1925) became the first provisional president. - The present work offers an authentic pictorial record of the first revolts. It contains numerous portraits of important leaders of the revolution and members of the Qing court, grim photographs of the battlefields in Wuchang and Hankow, and images of the attack on Nanking, including the preparations and the results. - The head and tail of the spine, and corners and hinges of the boards are somewhat scuffed, the back board is somewhat discoloured. The gutters of the front and back endpapers are torn, weakening the binding, but the boards are still attached. The tissue paper between the photographs has browned throughout. Otherwise in good condition. - WorldCat 891342401 (2 copies).…
