Four handbills showing popular images, two (13.2 x 18.4) are images of characters from Peking Opera and two (12.2 x 16.5cm) depict themes important in Chinese society at the time. Text in traditional Chinese characters. Light even browning, tiny closed tears at margin of one sheet repaired with washi. Very good. Chinese opera ch…aracters in the style of traditional woodblock prints were popular in the late Qing dynasty and early Republican period. Handbills of characters from Beijing opera were sold as collectible items that also helped to familiarise people with the characters of different operas; their costumes, make up, weapons and names. In this case there are two characters from the opera ??? on one handbill, and three characters from the opera ??? on the other. Images with social themes also made popular handbills, especially in places such as Tianjin where the influence of foreigners was pronounced. In ???? we see an immortal carrying a peach of longevity surrounded by images of fertility - a young woman and boys carry fruit and flowers, as well as other items symbolic of wealth - a coin, a vase, gold ingots, and so on, probably issued for New Year. The final handbill of the four, ????, tells the tale of a girl of eighteen married to a boy of seven. The Chinese custom of marrying a young boy to an older girl adopted into the family is thus open for discussion - everyone in the image clearly has a different opinion of the situation; from the young husband, the older farmer in the background and the two men in long scholars robes, to the modern young man in a western suit with leather shoes, as well as the girl herself. The practice of adopting a girl to bring up as a future wife for a male child was made illegal in 1949. The text mentions some of the ways in which the girl would be expected to help in her adoptive family's home.

The second of these ballads, 'Silver Threads Among the Gold', by the American Eben Eugene Rextord (1848-1916), was immensely popular on its release in 1873 with music by Hart Peas Danks (1834-1903). The earliest reference to the first ballad, 'Could you lend my mother a saucepan?' is in an 1885 number of 'All the Year Round'. Th…e song is an absolute hoot, but its text is not to be found anywhere on the internet. The presence of the last of the three songs indicates the enduring power of the Nelson story throughout the nineteenth century, and especially in the south-west of England, with its strong naval tradition. There is no record of 'T. Brooks' of Bath in the BBTI. For the context (albeit earlier) see Trevor Fawcett's 'Bath Commercialis'd' (2002) and his 'Georgian Imprints: Printing and Publishing at Bath, 1729-1815' (2008). 1p, 8vo. Handbill on flimsy wove paper, with wear to edges (not affecting text), and strip of card mount still adhering at head of blank reverse. Headed with the titles of the three ballads, in capitals over four lines, with two lines in different fancy type and two in different working fonts. The three ballads printed in small type, each in its own column, and the first two headed by a small vignette, the first of three men drinking (with bottles and punchbowl) at a table, with a fourth under it; the second of two women fighting over a bottle. 'Could you lend my mother a Saucepan' begins: 'My mother sends her compliments, And hopes that you are well,'. Silver Threads among the Gold' begins: 'Darling, I am growing old, / Silver threads among the gold,'. The Death of Nelson' begins: 'O'er Nelson's tomb, with silent grief opprest, | Britannia mourns her hero now at rest,'. The four songs would appear to date from the 1840s. See Image.

On one side of a piece of unwatermarked wove paper, 32 x 25 cm. Good, on lightly aged and creased paper. Attractively produced within a decorative border, with the title in gothic script and the text beginning in a single column before splitting into two. Printer's and publishers' details at foot, with advertisement of five work…s published between 1815 and 1817. After three scriptural quotations, begins 'ALL Sinners who are arrested by the HOLY SPIRIT, tried in the Court of Conscience, cursed and condemned by the just and holy law of God, and in consequence thereof become willing to serve his Majesty JEHOVAH, in the Royal Regiment of SAINTS, and in CAPTAIN IMMANUEL's Company, or NEW JERUSALEM, where the company now lies; [.]'. Contains two poems: the first (26 lines) beginning 'These soldiers are bold, and well they may, | Since Christ their Captain leads the way;' and the second (16 lines) 'GIRD thy loins up, Christian Soldier, | Lo! thy Captain calls thee out;'. The central conceit of this piece - especially effective during the high militarisation resulting from the Napoleonic Wars - would later be taken to the ultimate extreme by the Salvation Army. A single copy of an earlier version, produced in 1791, and with significant variations, is held by the Bodleian. Excessively scarce: no copy on COPAC. According to BBTI Brimmer was active between 1802 and 1824, and George Offer (no G. and I. Offer) in Postern Row before 1794 and until 1824.

Two very colourful handbills promoting socialism and collectivisation, 17.6 x 13cm. Both feature an image of a worker and a farmer on a decorative background. Handbills have been tipped-in onto an A4 sheet, total dimensions 19.5 x 27.8cm. Very good copies. In one image ?????????, the reader is exhorted to join in agricultural an…d industrial production in a positive way. In the other ???????????? the reader is asked to strengthen the union of industry and agriculture to set up socialism. Slogans are written in traditional Chinese characters, commonly used before the 1956 language reforms and the message is that of the worker peasant alliance of the early PRC. The bold colours, simplified forms, idealised workers and peasants and the use of symbolic motifs such as stylised factories, chimneys, sheaves of wheat, gear wheel, red banner and so on, indicate that these flyers date from the 1953-57 era of the first Five Year Plan.

Four delightful amusing pictures for children, two measure 13.4 x 18.6, two 12.2 x 16.6cm, text in traditional Chinese characters. Light even browning and occasional foxing at edges, strengthen with washi at one corner and in one section of a margin, very good copies. In ??? or 'Youthful Pleasures', three model children enjoy gi…ving a performance, the two on each side are playing instruments, the middle one might have a speaking role, dressed as he is in a Confucian style, with glasses and cane. An example for children to emulate. In ??? or 'Tongue Twister', two children are sitting in a garden, a man dressed in a western suit pointing toward them. The caption above is the tongue twister, 'Shan qian you ge yan yuan yan, shan hou you ge yan yan yuan, etc. for children to practice. Another 'Tongue Twister' is composed of a comic strip of four captioned cartoons, featuring a chicken that flies over the garden wall to the Zhang's garden, where it is attacked by a dog, following which, Mrs Zhang pays compensation. The captions are minute, but provide a short rhyming story in the form of a very easy tongue twister. The moral to this tale is that whoever is responsible for loss pays compensation. ????? ?The Mouse Marries a Wife' is a humorous picture of anthromorphised mice in a wedding procession, with sedan chairs, banners and trumpets. The story caption above tells how the mouse married a wife, (although the person in the front sedan chair appears to be human). One of the attendants in the cartoon is carrying a banner stating that the marriage violates the law.

In ???, a very young child kneeling on a kang and a young boy also feature in the image where a woman in cooking a hotpot of tofu, with a tongue twister written in the margin above.

Four amusing coloured handbills depicting expectations of behaviour in daily life, two with social comment, 12.1 x 16.3cm, text in traditional Chinese characters. Minor occasional foxing, not affecting images, few small closed tears at margins repaired with washi paper otherwise good copies. Two of the images ?????? and ???, ref…er to how children are brought up, to be either obedient or disobedient, with social class appearing to play its part in the outcome. In another image ???, a group of children play happily with a tub of goldfish and watermelons on a terrace. In ??????, a graceful young woman, Second Big Sister Liu, carries a baby on her back near a temple - the text above relates her background. It amusingly points out some details in the image; how the pancake seller was so distracted by her that a dog came and stole his wares, and because the tea seller was also looking at her, he scalded his hand.
