There is some discoloration to the spine, a darkening of the cloth, a bit of head…/tail spine wear, else a clean, solid copy., H.S. Quigley's signed copy, Ow VG/ndj: 137pp, index, map. WONG CHING-WAI or WANG CHING-WEI [aka. WANG JINGWEI] . Although the title page spells the author's name as: "WONG Ching-wai" this was a common transliteration of Chinese names at that time. WorldCat also names him as: Zhaoming Wang. Wang Ching-Wei [1883-1944] was born as Wang Zhaoming [Wang Chao-ming]. He was widely known by his 'pen name' "Jingwei," as a Chinese politician, at first and ally, only later to turn against Sun Yat-sen, the KMT party and become a despised traitor and Japanese Government sympathizer during second Sino-Japanese war 1937-1945. He has been hated and the subject of shame to the Chinese both Nationalists and Communists. Wang was initially a member of the left wing of the Kuomintang [KMT] party, but later became increasingly anti-communist after his efforts to collaborate with the Chinese Communist Party [CCP] ended in political failure. His political orientation veered sharply to the right later in his career. Wang was a close associate of Sun Yat-sen during the last twenty years of Sun's life. After Sun's death, Wang engaged in a political struggle with Chiang Kai-shek for control over the Kuomintang Party, but he lost. Wang remained inside the Kuomintang, but continued to have disagreements with Chiang until the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937. After which he accepted a controversial invitation to form a "Japanese-supported" collaborationist government in Nanjing. Wang served as the head of that Chinese state for the Japanese until he died, shortly before the end of World War II. Although he is still regarded as an important contributor in the Xinhai Revolution, the typical narratives often regard him as a traitor in the "War of Resistance." CONTENTS: Per the preface: "The essays express the official statements and permanent opinion of China's National Party and of the mass of Chinese, as voiced by Wang Ching-wei." [summarized] . Wang outlines the "Will of the President of the Kuomintang." His "Prefatory Letter, addressed to the preliminary Conference." His essays continue to define the "Definition of Imperialism, The Influence of Imperialism on World Politics." He continues with case examples of: "The Influence of Imperialism in China: Introductory Survey: First Period: From the Opium War to the Sino-Japanese War 1890-1894. Second Period: From the Sino-Japanese War to the Boxer Rising 1895-1900. Third Period: From the Boxer Rising to the Beginning of the Great European War 1900-1914. Fourth Period: From the Beginning of the Great European War to the Washington Conference 1914-1921. Fifth Period: From the Washington Conference up to the present."

The four sheets variously show: to the North West, part of Mongolia, the Gobi Desert, and Lake Baikal; to the South West, the Yellow Sea, Shanghai, Korea etc.; to the North East, part of the Russian coast including Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands, with insets of Cape Elizabeth and Hakodate; and to the South East, Japan with an inset of Tokyo Bay. In addition to a wealth of geographical detail, Wyld shows the tracks of various sea voyages and ocean currents. The timing of Wyld's map publications shows him to have been 'something of an opportunist' but 'his maps were always of high quality, a fact acknowledged when he was accorded the title of geographer toQueen VictoriaandPrince Albert' (ODNB). He is perhaps best known for his extraordinary 60-foot tall 'great globe', exhibited in Leicester Square during the Great Exhibition. No copies traced in the US. Only one copy recorded in the UK (Cambridge University Library).

Finely executed pictorial map of Beijing, published by Frank Dorn and the Peiyang Press. Ltd. of Tientsin and Peiping, in 1936. Dorn's map is perhaps the best known and most iconic pictorial map of Beijing published in the 20th Century, offering a host of interesting ethnographic and iconographic information about Beijing and its environs, while retaining the whimsical qualities of the great pictorial maps of the first half the 20th Century. Dorn's map is considered one of the great maps of the golden era of pictorial mapmaking. The map is ringed with a series of cartoon vignettes illustrating the history of the city from ancient times to 1936. Dorn was a friend and admirer of the pictorial mapmaker Jo Mora (1876-1847), and was clearly influenced by Mora's style of combining accurate pictorial details, bright colors and a bit of whimsy, along with vignettes providing an illustrated history of the place. The cartouche is decorated with names and dates of historical events and this legend in the center. Frank Dorn was an artist, writer and military officer. Growing up in San Francisco, he attended the San Francisco Art Institute and became an accomplished cartoonist. After graduation from West Point, he was assigned a post in the Philippines, and as a side project wrote a book about a clan of tribal people he got to know there. An acquaintance of California artist Jo Mora, Dorn began making his own maps; an early one depicted Camp Strassenbourg in the Philippines. While living in China, Dorn made his popular pictorial map of "Peiping". He later served in the field as advisor to a Chinese army. A fluent speaker of Chinese, Dorn's most important military role was in the China-Burma-India theater during World War II. There he served with Deputy Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army forces, General "Uncle Joe" Stilwell, during the Burma campaign from 1942 to 1944, and served as a commanding officer in 1944-45. A 1942 Life Magazine article about the Burma mission stated that, "Dorn, an artist, drew Stilwell's campaign maps." Dorn eventually attained the rank of Brigadier-General and retired in 1953. He settled in Carmel, California, living what his friend John Thompson describes as "a semi-bohemian life, writing and painting. In the Sixties he did some amazing psychedelic paintings, wondered if he was the incarnation of a Buddhist painter, and held progressive civil rights and antiwar views." In the 1970s, Dorn authored two highly-regarded scholarly books on the Chinese and Burmese theaters of World War II. A fascinating pictorial map of Beijing, drawn by an American officer who was a military attaché in China during the 1930s. It features vignettes of Chinese history from 1100 BC to 1927 as well as modern tourist attractions including golf and race courses. Hints to the political situation include the 'Kuomintang Headquarters'; and the German swastika and the Japanese 'Rising Sun' flags flying in the 'Legation Quarter', the year before the official start of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937. Frank Dorn (1901-81) was a graduate of West Point (where he picked up the life-long nickname of 'Pinky'), before being posted to Beijing in 1934 to help gather intelligence on Japanese aggression. He immersed himself in the language and culture of the city, researching the Forbidden City and collecting antiquities. When war with Japan broke out Dorn became chief-of-staff to L.t General Joseph Stilwell, with a rank of Colonel. At one point relations between the Americans and the leader of the Chinese Kuomintang, Chiang Kai-shek, were so bad that Dorn was ordered to prepare a plan to assassinate him. Although Dorn suggested giving Chiang a faulty parachute and sabotaging his plane authorization was never given. The plan is packed full of wonderful illustrations, from the border that covers the city's history from its inception in 1100B.C., its numerous dynasties - including the 'decadant period under the Ch'Ings' - through to the revolution of 1911 and the movement of the capital to Nanking in 1927. Also to the borders are illustrations of a wedding and a funeral. The plan itself not only shows all the historic landmarks, including the Forbidden City, and the Temple and Altar of Heaven but also the racecourse, zoo, old execution ground, and cocks fighting. The color printed map is accompanied by a 22 page booklet which gives a potted history of the city together with a list of points of interest that are shown on the map.

In the course of it, he saw some of the most difficult campaigning in World War II and came into contact with some of the most formidable personalities of his time. In 1937, he was an assistant military attache in Peking when the Sino-Japanese war broke out. The senior attache at the time was Joseph W. (Vinegar Joe) Stilwell, then a colonel. Gen. Dorn, who was fluent in Chinese, observed the war between China and Japan from both sides, on one occasion walking across the "no-man's land" dividing opposing forces. General Frank Dorn retired from the Army in 1953, he attended the San Francisco Academy of Fine Art and attained high levels of skilll as a cartoonist and artist, his classic map of Peking was a labor of love. Frank Dorn (illustrator).
