Shanghai Materials (1937, 1949)
Fei Pai Yee

(circa 1930-circa 1939), and
Friedrich Schiff
Drawings
(circa 1930-circa 1938).
Series I,
Shanghai Materials, consists of photographs and
publications depicting the Japanese bombing of Shanghai in 1937, as well as Shanghai foreign
residents ration coupons and an alien resident certificate from 1949.
Series II,
Fei Pai Yee Sketches, consists of four hand colored
sketches of Shanghai scenes by the artist Fei Pai Yee published by the Pacific Press Service
