Shanghai of Today – 1927

This is a lovely copy of the quite rare Shanghai of Today, a souvenir album of thirty-eight Vandyke prints of the ‘Model Settlement’ published by the Shanghai/Hong Kong/Singapore huse of Kelly & Walsh in 1927. The original full padded morocco binding is lovely and comes with a picture of the Shanghai Municipal Council building (down on Kiangse/Jiangxi Road) and the seal/flag of the SMC. The book came with an introductuion by the long time editor of the North-China Daily News, OM Green.
