Scope and Content of Collection
The collection comprises two photograph albums of China titled
Bo lan tu zhi. Inscriptions within the albums identify them as Volume 19A and Volume 19B respectively. The albums were likely assembled
by Herbert Francis Brady, who appears in several of the photographs. The albums document the lifestyle of the British Foreign
Service community in Beijing, Tianjin (Tientsin), Hankou (Hankow), Jiujiang, and Yantai (Chefoo) in the late nineteenth-century.
Views of well-known monuments and sites in Beijing, Hankou, and Ningbo (Ningpo) and also included in the albums.
Althought the bulk of the images are by an unknown maker(s), likely an amateur photographer from within the British Foreign
Service community, photographs by Thomas Child; L. F. Fisler; Kung Tai; and William Saunders are also included in the album.
Also included are two photographs from
Far East Magazine.
The British Legation in Beijing and its denizens are featured in Series I. Album 19A (61 photographs). Included are exterior
and interior views of legation buildings, two group photographs of its fire brigades, and another of the cast of a legation
theatrical performance. Sites and monuments in and around Beijing featured in the album include Summer palace, the Temple
of Heaven, the observatory, and the Ming tombs. There are also views of the city's gates, walls, and streets. There are several
images of the Great Wall.
Images from Hankou and Jiujiang in Series II. Album 19B (58 photographs) include views of the British consulates and social
clubs and group portraits of members of the local British communities. There are images of outings to places such as the monastery
at Yichang, the Lu-shan hills near Jiujiang, and the Hankou plain, as well as race meets and fancy dress balls. The album
also contains views of the Hankou harbor during tea season, the bund, guild houses, and city gates, and the Ningbo pagoda
and Tian Tong temple. There are also city views of Yantai and Shanghai.
Both albums contain a group portrait of members of the Hankou Chinese Inland Mission garbed, according to the sect's custom,
in traditional Chinese dress. Scattered throughout the albums are photographs of Chinese people. Included are portraits of
the general-statesmen Li Hongzhang (Li Hungchang) and Zuo Zongtang (Tso Tsung-t'ang). A photograph by Thomas Child is a rare
depiction of a Buddhist priest doing penance. The Chinese judicial system is represented by a court scene and a group of prisoners
wearing the cangue. Also included are studio portraits of Chinese women, actors, officials, and a group portrait of bankers
and merchants.
The albums have blue silk brocade covers with hand-lettered titles pasted on their upper right-hand corners. A container for
the albums made of two rosewood boards attached with string has the title and maker's name engraved in Chinese characters:
Bo lan tu zhi / Xiabo Lei.
