His Excellency Wu Ting-Fang
( 20th Century American culture, China, United States, Emperor)
Issued 1900, New York, by Harpers Weekly
Wonderful original antique offset/photo mechanical printed sheet. Printed in the early 20th century, the actual cover as seen from what is now a very scarce periodical.
An utterly fascinating old artifact regarding this topic. The visual effect is one of a long past time, and from this perspective the uniquely printed sheet of paper is most appealing. The type of now long gone machinery used and the look created by it is visually quaint by modern standards.
In Good+ to near VG [or better] condition: Small old round blue library stamp at top of sheet as seen, sheet displays uniform age browning/ toning as typical, light scattered spotting or foxing, light edge wear, perhaps a soft crease across the center of the sheet, and could have small edge splits which have been carefully and almost invisibly repaired on verso; overall the main image remains clean and very attractive. Any minor defects may hopefully be clearly seen in the images.
Text on verso as issued-This is an original printed sheet from this scarce 20th century American periodical. Thus, this form is the only way this image can be acquired other than perhaps as a modern reprint- but who wants that when you can have the original?
A delightful early 20th century print any collector, dealer, or institution would be happy to possess. Perfect for gift-giving, display, collecting, etc. Sure to interest any active mind who enjoys seeing history visually represented.
Sheet measures c. 15 1/2" x 10 1/2" .

About Us:
AntiqueMapsPrints is a very active business in various antiquarian areas. After 30 years of collecting, buying and selling items which appealed to me on some level, I prefer to remain a knowledgeable generalist within those areas. I aim to supply the full range of collectors, dealers of all kinds, institutions, museums & curators, as well as the general public simply looking for an interesting historical artifact. I sell across various platforms such as ABE, Amazon, Etsy, etc. with different user id's. Our online presence continues to evolve over time. Please visit us at oldmapsoldbooks as well.
For over 30 years I've been collecting and dealing full-time in ownership worthy antique objects of many types- primarily antique maps, old & rare books (with an emphasis upon 18th & 19th century), numismatics (quality Certified U.S. Type & Gold coins), old printed graphics & ephemera in all areas including postcards, Trade Cards, philatelic related items, poster stamps, stereo views, color printing, etc. If you have an interest, collect or deal in any of these areas (and more), I invite making your acquaintance.
I'm located in a fine large c.1820 house in beautiful historic Southern New Hampshire, New England, United States which you may visit by prior appointment. I'm not set up for general browsing, only to inspect items you've seen online before hand. I also run a constantly updated independent website* which I invite you to visit. Most items seen there are not offered in this eBay store.
I cannot emphasize enough that everything I offer really is old, authentic and genuine as described. I do not sell fakes, reproductions, modern copies of old items, etc. I guarantee the authenticity of every single item I sell without hesitation or reserve for as long as you own it.
I'm experienced, knowledgeable, own a vast reference library which I study and utilize every day, straight forward & efficient to deal with. I've visually inspected and handled literally millions of old books and printed sheets of paper from all eras of printing. I invite you to become part of my continually expanding family of business clients, friendly acquaintances and lifelong trading partners who now span the globe.
Best regards,
Brian
