Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: No Dust Jacket As Issued. First Edition. JAZZ, VICE, and VANISHED SHANGHAI A vibrant and satirical visual record of pre-WWII Shanghai nightlife and social friction, hand-colored and signed by the Austrian caricaturist Friedrich Schiff. This accordion-style sketchbook captures the…collision of East and West in the final years of the International Settlement, documenting the interactions of sailors, 'taxi-dancers', and local residents with a 'no-holds-barred' wit. Schiff's work serves as a primary visual ethnography of a vanished colonial world, produced in the city's legendary 'Yellow Hall' just before the Japanese occupation reshaped the region forever. KEY FEATURES +++ Visuals: 21 plates of caricatural illustrations, each individually hand-colored by the artist. Includes the iconic 'Paramount' dance hall and Filipino jazz band scenes. +++ Binding: Original decorated silk-brocade covers featuring a stamped bamboo motif. Bound as a 'leporello' (fan-folded) allowing for a continuous panoramic display. +++ Content: Satirical sketches of Shanghai's 'joints', nightclubs, and street life, capturing the 'Barflies' and 'sing-song girls' of the 1930s. +++ Imprint: Shanghai; Friedrich Schiff. 1939. Numbered 570 in an unspecified limited edition. +++ Specs: Quarto; 10.5 x 7.5 inches. 21 leaves. +++ Design: Features Schiff's unique signature 'sketch-hand' style, noted for its economy of line and expressive cross-cultural observation. +++ Scholarship: Documents the 'International' caste system and the seedier cross-cultural undercurrents of pre-war China. +++ Signed by the author/artist on the title page as issued. CONDITION -- Very Good+. +++ The Book: The internal leaves are tight and square with light, even age-toning. There is minor offset from the hand-colored drawings onto the facing pages, which is common and expected for this format. +++ The Silk: The original silk-brocade covers are handsome and well-preserved, showing only minor handling wear and light rubbing at the extremities. A remarkably crisp example of a fragile, overseas production. Historical Significance: Friedrich Schiff was the preeminent cartoonist of Interwar Shanghai, spending 18 years documenting the city's poignant and often ridiculous cultural collisions. Maskee-a Pidgin-English term meaning 'never mind' or 'it doesn't matter'-perfectly encapsulates the reckless hedonism of a city living on borrowed time. Schiff's 'sketch-hand' captured everyone from 'sing-song' girls to colonial police with a wit that continues to influence modern Asian graphic artists. This volume is a primary visual source for the Art Deco period in the East, predating the abrupt end of Old Shanghai brought on by the Japanese occupation and later Revolution. SUBJECTS: Shanghai, China, Caricatures and Cartoons, Social Conditions, 1930s Nightlife, Jazz Age, International Settlement, Signed Limited Edition, Art Deco, Leporello, Asian History. Signed.

Signed limited edition, number A430 of an unknown edition signed by the cartoonist on the title page. Schiff's pen skewers the modern decadence of Shanghai's concessions and the cast of expatriates and "modern girls" who frequent them.

"He started his career by providing illustrations to Kelly and Walsh, the largest English-language book publishers in China at the time. He then provided cartoons for the Tientsin Times, but it was in hedonistic Shanghai that he found his oeuvre and started to satirise the foreign community.

Friedrich Schiff (1908-1968) était un caricaturiste juif autrichien qui a longtemps résidé à Shanghai, où il était un observateur attentif des habitants et de la vie de la ville à la fin des années 1930, déchirés par la guerre. Peu de détails sont connus de la vie de Friedrich Schiff, l'un des grands dessinateurs de Shanghai entre les guerres mondiales. Il est né en 1908 en Autriche et s'est exilé à Shanghai en 1929. Il est retourné en Autriche en 1947 et y est mort en 1968. En 1929, Schiff arrive à Shanghai pour échapper à la persécution nazie.

Une rétrospective de ses uvres a été publiée en Autriche en 1985 sous le nom de China gemalt - Chinesische zeitgeschichte dans Bildern Friedrich Schiff.

[Shanghai 1938?, Schiff]. Red silk accordion folded album, 21 hand colored charming sketches, 19.5 x 27 cm., mild stain on the first two pages and at the center on all other pages. FIRST & ONLY LIMITED NUMBERED EDITION, SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR *** *** *** . . A GREAT CARAIATURE OF SHANGHAI LIEF IN THE LATE 1930'S . . . DEPICTING IN…TERACTIONS BETWEEN . . . FOREIGNERS, CHINESE DANCE HALL GIRLS & PROSTITUTES . . *** WHO WAS THE ARTIST & AUTHOR FRIEDRICH H. SCHIFF [1908-1968]: Schiff was an Austrian-Jewish artist. He was a keen observer of the Chinese spirit, showing the more fascinating visual insights to Shanghai life., living there 1930-1947. . Schiff arrived from Austria in Shanghai in 1930 when he was 22 years old, and lived there until 1947. His charming cartoons captured the foreign community's interest and many were also published in local newspapers and journals such as the China Journal & the North China Daily News. . He also illustrated several books on China, a suite of Shanghai postcards, and was attributed to decorating the walls of the Cercle Sportif Français and other clubs. . After receiving an invitation to visit Shanghai from a cousin Schiff lived there for 17 years, becoming known as one of the city's great cartoonists between the two world wars. . Schiff's importance lies, first of all in the fact he depicted indelible characters that manifest what it meant to dwell in Shanghai, then an international City. . "He manipulates his works as a form of attack. Socially marginalized groups, such as prostitutes, 'taxi-girls' and beggars, are all subjects of his scrutiny." . *** Gerd Kaminski, author of a chronicle and geographical study of the artist, described the opus of Schiff as extensive, ascertaining that cartooning was the genre that prodded him into telling stories from the point of view of a spectator on the street. See below. . * "Schiff's opus goes beyond cartoons and illustrations for newspapers. Artistically, he was equally excellent in landscape and portrait oil paintings, gouache and watercolor works," Kaminski said. . * "Schiff, from the very beginning of his residency in China, had already developed sharp eyes -not only in face-reading Chinese physiognomy, but also the social realities in which Chinese and foreigners were being subjected to." . *** THE SETTING: The setting is the "Roaring 1930's Shanghai" scene. Sketches depict the Free-Wheeling, "Anything Goes" wild attitudes of "why not" war torn Shanghai. . * THE SKETCHES: TWENTY-ONE HAND-COLORED DRAWINGS: . The first page shows a beautiful, slinky Chinese girl in Cheongsam: "Miss Shanghai: "Me no worry-me no care ! Me go marry millionaire ! If he die me no cry ! Me go marry other guy !!" . Followed by 19 other full-page hand-colored drawings. Some with and with out captions, the meanings obvious ! . These fascinating color-drawings shows how Occidentals inter-relate with the Chinese & western [mostly Russian] girls, Shanghai Party time English style, "Having a Ripping Time," American sailors caress and dance with their willowy Chinese girls wearing sexy Cheongsam split up to their hips. . Also stunningly beautiful, blond & blue-eyed Russian prostitutes with their Chinese sisters competing for the Yankee dollar. "Taxi-girls, "sing-song girls," bar girls, lonely and hungry house wives. . *** THE MEANING OF "MASKEE:" The tile "MASKEE" is a very old China coast Pidgin English corruption of the Portuguese word meaning "Never Mind." This and other Pidgin English was commonly used by both Chinese and foreigners along the treaty port cities on China's east coast since the 1820's. . *** THE HAND-COLORED ART WORK: Schiff drew the illustrations, then had the book printed in black-outline, after which he hand-colored each page and signed the title page, adding a hand-written number on the last page. . *** BINDING: The work was bound in various colors of silk [red, maroon, green, blue], with brocade designs, such as bamboo, or the dragon. There may have been othe.
