China - Foreign concessions in Tientsin, circa 1900 - Lot 22
China - Foreign concessions in Tientsin, circa 1900 Series of fold-out plans showing foreign concessions in Tientsin, before and after their development, printed on blue paper, in French. 5 original notebooks inscribed Municipalité Française de Tientsin with handwritten indications. The foreign concessions of Tientsin (Tien-Tsin, Tianjin) were concessions ceded by the imperial Chinese Qing dynasty in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to European and Japanese powers, more or less under duress. British and French concessions were the first to be established in Tientsin. France built its first cathedral in 1860, which was destroyed during the Boxer Rebellion and subsequently rebuilt. Between 1895 and 1900, France and Great Britain were joined by Japan, the German Empire, the Russian Empire and other countries with no concessions elsewhere in China: Austria-Hungary, Italy and Belgium. Each concession is autonomous, with its own prisons, schools, churches, barracks and hospitals.
