First edition, covering material submitted by East India Company representatives between 1834 and 1838 - a crucial period during which Britain laid the foundations of its tea empire in Assam. The splendid maps incorporate the findings of explorers such as Captain Francis Jenkins and the observations of tea-growing made in China by the Macartney and Amherst embassies. The documents concern the key actors in the growth of Britain's formal tea empire, including Jenkins, the powerful Bengal civil servant William Hay Macnaghten, and the members of the Tea Committee established by Governor William Bentinck in 1834. Pages 36-37 carry the text of the committee's momentous 24 December 1834 report announcing that the tea plant was indigenous to Assam: "We have no hesitation in declaring this discovery. to be by far the most important and valuable that has ever been made on matters connected with the agricultural or commercial resources of this empire." Five years later, the first twelve chests of Assam-grown tea were auctioned in London to great fanfare. Copies are held at the British Library, Linnaean Society, Calke Abbey, UCLA, National Agricultural Library, Institut de France, and National Library of Australia. Folio (331 x 215 mm).

's Gravenhage, G. Vosmaer, 1813. Broadsheet. Official publication. 41,5 x 33 cm. Official publication about the regulations of colonial products such as tobacco, salt and tea with China. OCLC 911957813: just one copy known in WorldCat.

Ceylon colonial photo archive depicting tea cultivation, estate labor, transportation, and urban life, circa 1880s to 1910s, documenting the plantation economy that made the island one of Britain's principal sources of tea as British merchants shifted the enormous domestic tea market away from China and toward production within the Empire. Coffee leaf rust appeared in Ceylon in 1869 and spread rapidly through the island's coffee districts, precipitating the collapse of the crop that had dominated the colonial export economy and accelerating planters' conversion of the central highlands to tea. James Taylor had established commercial tea cultivation at Loolecondera Estate near Kandy in 1867, and the new industry expanded rapidly as coffee failed; by 1900 some 380,000 acres in Ceylon were planted in tea. By 1879, the results showed that in more than 70 percent of tea sold in London still came from China, while by 1900 China supplied only about 10 percent and black teas from British controlled India and Ceylon constituted the bulk of the market. Photo archive of albumen and silver gelatin photographs and photographic postcards, ranging from approximately 3½ x 5 to 4 x 6 inches, Ceylon, circa 1880s to 1910s. Tea production forms the strongest body of imagery. Women and men stand among densely planted tea bushes or work through rows of plants, with women carrying the large woven baskets used to collect leaves; individual and group views are captioned "Tea plucker," "Tea picking, Ceylon," "Pruning tea, Kandy," and, in French, "Cueillette du thé à Ceylan." One Skeen & Co. Colombo card, numbered 84 and captioned "Tea plucker," isolates a woman at work with a large basket strapped behind her, while another shows a large group of workers seated with baskets and gathered tea in a plantation clearing. A card captioned "Estate coolies, Ceylon" depicts an estate employee in European dress standing with women and a child outside a thatched dwelling, preserving in its printed terminology the racial and labor classifications through which plantation workers were presented to contemporary consumers of colonial imagery. Other photographs move from plantation production into the roads, vehicles, and cities of colonial Ceylon: rickshaw pullers pose with European passengers and beside their vehicles; a street scene records "Native town, Kandy, Ceylon"; Colombo appears in views of the "Colpetty Road, near Galle Face, Colombo," a crowded procession captioned in French "Colombo, départ des troupes Anglaises," and a civic monument among palms. Another postcard depicts "Royal visitors leaving Ceylon," while a country road scene shows pedestrians, carts, and roadside activity. Skeen & Co., one of the principal commercial photographic firms operating from Colombo in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, is identified on several cards, but no single photographer can be assigned to the archive as a whole. The tea scenes record the labor at the center of one of the fastest agricultural conversions in the nineteenth century British Empire. Coffee rust, Hemileia vastatrix, was first observed in Ceylon in 1869 and within little more than a decade had destroyed the commercial basis of the coffee plantation system; tea, already demonstrated commercially by Taylor, replaced it across much of the highlands. Ceylon tea exports to Britain rose from only 282 pounds in 1875 to more than 4.3 million pounds in 1885, while the plantation landscape expanded until almost all former coffee districts had been replanted with tea during the 1890s. That expansion depended on a large year round plantation workforce, much of it composed of Tamil laborers brought from southern India, and on the colonial infrastructure that connected the highlands with Colombo and overseas markets. Roads and the railway between Kandy and Colombo had initially served the coffee economy and could be redirected toward tea after the blight, while Colombo developed as the commercial and shipping center through which the crop entered imperial markets. The archive therefore records several stages and social spaces of the same colonial economy, from plucking and pruning in the highlands to estate communities, road transport, Kandy, and the metropolitan port city of Colombo, while the postcards themselves show how plantation labor and colonial development were converted into commercial images for circulation beyond the island. Light to moderate surface wear, toning, occasional fading and creasing, with some photographs showing age related discoloration and edge wear. Overall in good condition. A visual record of the plantation labor and colonial infrastructure behind Ceylon's transformation from a failed coffee economy into a major tea producer that helped Britain replace Chinese tea with supplies produced under imperial control.…
