PRINTED IN A VERY SMALL, FIRST & ONLY OBSCURE EDITION . . . WORLDCAT LOCATES ONLY 3 COPIES ! . * THE BOXER UPRISING 1900 This work documents the results of the Boxer Uprising of 1899-1900, where in anti-foreign sentiments reached a boiling point. Several foreigners were killed, mostly missionaries, later when foreign embassies were besieged some diplomats were also killed. This resulted in the combined efforts of these foreign countries who teamed up to suppress this rebellion. This rebellion was mostly limited to North China where it began in Shandong province under German control and spread Westward across Northern China through Beijing. . * This superb work contains a total of 114 b.w. photogravures. This work shows historic photographs of the foreign troops occupying Beijing [Peking], China. Good photographs of these troops in and around the Forbidden City, namely those from Japan, Russia, France, America, and Germany. . * What makes this graphic work important, is that it shows a large part of the Palace and other Forbidden City buildings as they were before the troops actually damaged or pillaged these historic sights. Each country garrisoned their troops in a select group of old buildings, hither to unseen by commoners and especially never by any foreigner. It is a superb look at the inner world of the Emperor of China. . *** THE PHOTOGRAPHER: YAMAMOTO Sanshichiro 1855-1943: . He was an eminent Meiji era photographer, born in Okayama.. From 1882 to about 1897 he had a photographic studio in Tokyo. Later when news of the Boxer Rebellion swept the world, he quickly went to Peking to photograph the historic activities of foreign troops in the capitol, including the Japanese living there. . After photographing the destruction & aftermath in Peking, he finally settled down in Tianjin and opened his third photographic studio. . *** Color photos are posted to our website. . *** CONDITION: This work is truly an excellent copy, externally and internally. There is a very tiny bit of edge wear at the lower right [a tiny chip loss] and upper left front corners. The purple silk ties are bright, solid and very clean. There is a very slight hint of where this book was probably lightly folded in half but not hard and there is a mild hint remaining. From about the middle onwards there is not much evidence of this at all. By and large, we feel this work is an excellent copy. There is NO damp or other condition issues with this item. Overall exceptionally clean and solid throughout. This is a very RARE book has seldom been found let alone in such lovely condition. A REMARKABLE COPY ! See photographs posted to our website from this copy. . *** RARITY: WorldCat only locates three copies in the world. This is indeed a very RARE book ! . See references below for more information. . *** BIBLIOGRAPHY: The author/photographer was noted for photographing and publishing two other superb photographic books on China: "Peking" published in 1906, and his stunning "View and Custom of North China" in 1909. . *** REFERENCE: Please see WorldCat: worldcat-org/title/views-of-the-north-china-affai r/oclc/25266060&referer=brief_results * Yamamoto Sanshichiro is amazingly NOT FOUND in any of the 3 Terry BENNETT books: .

Title: Harper's Bazaar Beauty Book
Author: The Editors of Harper's Bazaar
Seller: ReadInk (United States)
Condition: Near Fine in Very Good dj
Description: New York: Appleton-Century-Crofts, Inc.. Near Fine in Very Good dj. (c.1959). First Edition. Hardcover. [good sound copy, minor shelfwear, modest bump to lower front corner; the jacket shows a little edgewear, with a short tear and some associated creasing at the bottom of the front panel, light scuffing to front panel, a bit of soiling on the rear panel]. (pen & ink drawings) "Every woman has at least one acquaintance who seems to ride the years with grace, acquire admirers effortlessly and even teach her children to have a well-groomed look from cradlehood up. How does she manage to do it? What is the secret which makes her unique among her friends? Now at last the editors of America's greatest fashion magazine give you the answer, explaining just how you can build confidence and make the most of your natural assets [and achieve] that air of naturalness and unawareness which is the very essence of chic." (Got that, ladies? You too can be natural and unaware -- but you really gotta work at it!) "There is no conceivable beauty problem that is not treated [in this book] -- from skin, to nails, to hair, to posture, to tension, to voice and mannerisms. But most of all the editors tell you how to surround yourself with an aura of beauty." For some reason this book is quite scarce today (even the Popular Library paperback edition); maybe all those who divined its secrets, back in the day, decided to keep it to themselves. .
