Very good. Accompanied by original envelope. Map of China on verso. Wear on old fold lines. Size 21.25 x 31 Inches. A scarce March 5, 1932, map of Shanghai, China, issued by Osaka-based Cross-House publishing firm. The map was issued to illustrate the Shanghai Ceasefire Agreement (??????), a peace treaty between China and Japan that made Shanghai a demilitarized zone. It follows the January 28 Incident, also known as the Shanghai Incident (January 28 - March 3, 1932), a conflict in the Shanghai International Settlement between the Republic of China and the Empire of Japan. A Closer Look The map's focus centers on the concession regions, using color coding to distinguish between the British and American Concessions (red), the Japanese-controlled region (Orange), and the French Concession (Yellow). Along the bottom of the map, there is a dramatic view of the Bund - marking this map as part of a lineage of similar maps by Fusazo Sugie (????), although it is distinct and only stylistically related to the others. The verso (back) features a large map of China, Manchuria, and Korea - a region that would soon be embroiled in war. Shanghai Incident of 1932 The conflict of January 28th, 1932, also known as the Shanghai Incident or Shanghai War, was a precursor to the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937 - 1845), which would begin a few years later. Following several alleged attacks on Japanese nationals, the Japanese launched a blitzkrieg-style attack on Chinese Nationalist forces with the supposed intent of protecting Japanese civilians residing in the Hongkou District, an informal Japanese Concession within the International Settlement. The Chinese Nationalist troops concentrated in Zhabei to protect the strategically important Shanghai Railway Station, through which supplies and reinforcements could be readily delivered. The Chinese resistance proved stubborn, and both sides established perimeters along the Huangpu River. A similar perimeter was established to the south, along the Wusong River, to protect the British and French Concessions. Nonetheless, the Japanese pursued their attack, using gunboats on the Wusong River and Huangpu River to harry the Chinese. Ultimately, the two sides fought to a near standstill. On March 5th, the League of Nations forced the Japanese to sign a ceasefire, the Shanghai Ceasefire Agreement (??????), with China, turning Shanghai into a demilitarized zone. Shanghai International Settlement The Shanghai International Settlement was created in 1863 when the British and American Shanghai enclaves merged. These concessions had been granted to England and the United States as part of the Unequal Treaties that followed the Opium Wars. From about 1854, the settlements were governed by the Shanghai Municipal Council, a British-dominated board of government officials and powerful merchants. The board issued restrictions limiting Chinese habitation on International Settlement territory and oversaw the construction of public services, including trams, a sewage system, highways, and port buildings. The International Settlement expanded several times in the late 19th century and early 20th century. In addition, they constructed and administered Extra-Settlement Roads into the surrounding country, which further allowed for informal expansion. It became an enclave of peace and prosperity when the Japanese invaded Shanghai in 1937, but this abruptly came to an end with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor and the subsequent invasion of the International Settlement in 1941. After the war the International Settlement lands were returned to Chinese sovereignty. The Bund The Bund is a waterfront area in central Shanghai. The name derives from the old German term, 'bund,' meaning embankment or causeway. Many Asian colonial cities supported a Bund, but none became more famous or iconic than the Shanghai Bund. The area centers on the section of Zhongshan Road within the former Shanghai International Settlement, which runs along t.…
