SUMMARY:Prof. Wayne Patterson: William Nelson Lovatt in Late Qing China
DESCRIPTION:William Nelson Lovatt in Late Qing China looks at the Imperial Maritime Customs Service and the final decades of the last Chinese dynasty through the lens of a British-American who served as a Tidesurveyor at nearly a dozen treaty ports.  Rather than focusing on Inspector-General Sir Robert Hart with a top-down approach\, Lovatt’s perspective is from the bottom-up\, where there is little in the way of primary documentation\, particularly for the nineteenth century.  Lovatt arrived in China as a soldier in the British army during the Second Opium War\, but remained in China to enter the customs service\, and initially trained Chinese soldiers in three other conflicts as part of the Cooperative Policy:  the Taiping\, Nian\, and the Japanese invasion of Taiwan.  In his more than four decades he interacted with missionaries\, diplomats\, fellow customs officers\, IG Hart\, and Chinese of all stripes due to his fluency in the language.  Lovatt provides an inside look at Chinese society and the treaty port system unlike few others.  Additionally\, Lovatt may have prevented Hart’s plan to annex the Korean customs service allowing Li Hongzhang to continue to control that county indirectly.

SUMMARY:David Leffman: Popular Chinese Woodblock Prints: Folk Art\, Gods and Propaganda
DESCRIPTION:Chinese woodblock prints were once made in their millions\, but now the art is dying out. Using about 40 prints from his collection\, David Leffman presents some of the different types: bright and cheerful new year prints\, fierce door guardians and talismans\, “paper horse” deity prints\, and action-packed nineteenth-century propaganda. The talk investigates the hidden meanings\, social commentary\, history and folklore behind each print\, how and where they were made\, and the challenges faced by the remaining printing centres and craftsmen.

SUMMARY:Stephen Simmons: Maymyo Days: Forgotten Lives of a Burma Hill Station
DESCRIPTION:The title of the book is Maymyo Days\, but it is really the sub title\, Forgotten Lives of a Burma Hill Station which best describes what the book is really all about – I have written about some\, as is the case with most of us ordinary\, ‘normal’ people\, who lived in the Shan Hills\, ordinary people but people who did some extraordinary things. Some turned out to be gifted\, a few were courageous\, others tragic\, whose lives I first stumbled upon around 20 years ago in Rangoon: amongst others\, Henry Morshead\, a Royal Engineer who got to within a shout of the summit of Everest with George Mallory (Morshead later murdered in Maymyo)\, Princesses Ma Lat and Yadana Nat Mai – Shan Princesses who lead risky and fascinating lives\, General Po Yay – a Karen who won an MC in Burma during the war\, ‘Elephant Bill’ of the Bombay Burma Trading Corporation\, Charlotte Wheeler Cuffe who painted orchids and rhododendron in Burma and who turned out to be  a quite superb\, ‘amateur’ artist (her art is jealously guarded by Glasnevin Botanical Gardens in Dublin). \nWhilst the book is not a current affairs book\, rather a series of mini biographies of extraordinary people I do nevertheless update on the (terrible) state of things in Burma now. \nThe talk lasts for 40 minutes and I include 32 slides. The book\, published by Narisa Chakrabongse’s River Books in Bangkok\, is heavily illustrated.
