  Photograph album of China during the occupation by the Eight-Nation Alliance

  Visual Materials

  An album of 80 photographs of Beijing, China, after the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance during the Boxer Uprising in 1900. The high-quality photographs were presumably taken by a French military officer, as many images feature French officers and soldiers, and one image depicts the French flag flying on top of a city gate. A few other Western officers are seen in group portraits, riding horses at camp, or posed with Chinese residents. A series of images shows the construction of a music bandstand by French and Chinese workers, most likely in the French Legation in Beijing. Other subjects include portraits of Chinese women in traditional clothing, Chinese soldiers, Beijing buildings and street scenes, and Chinese workers and families.

  Photograph album of China, Korea, and Japan

  Visual Materials

  A photograph album containing 263 photographs of China, Korea, and Japan, dating from the time of the Boxer Uprising in China to the Russo-Japanese War, 1901 to 1905. The photographs are primarily unique images, along with some commercial photographs and foldout panoramas, and many have handwritten captions. The album's inside cover is inscribed: "John Rory Macey / H.M.S. Blenheim / China Station / Vol. II / Jan 1st 1901 - July 18th, 1905"; Macey was a naval engineer in the British Admiralty and most likely took some of the photographs, particularly naval-related scenes, and images of British servicemen. Photographic subjects in China include navy ships in the port of Weihaiwei, street scenes in Peking (Beijing) and other cities, Chinese residents, monuments (including the Forbidden Palace under foreign occupation), palaces, gardens, and temples. A number of photographs focus on the aftermath of the Boxer Uprising, including ruined buildings. The second portion of the album depicts scenes in Korea during the Russo-Japanese War; these include Korean people in daily activities, street scenes, commercial images of Chemulpo, and the palace grounds in Seoul. The third portion of the album contains amateur and commercial photographs of Japan, including the port cities of Maizuru and Yokohama, Japanese residents, tea ceremonies, the hot spring resort of Tonosawa, and panoramic images of the Osaka Exhibition of 1903. At the back of the album are 17 large, hand-colored photographs of Japan, including images of landscapes, street vendors, and Japanese women in genre scenes.
