Description
China - Foreign concessions in Tientsin, circa 1900 Series of fold-out plans showing the 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 granted by the Chinese Qing imperial dynasty at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century to the European and Japanese powers, more or less under duress. British and French concessions were the first to be created in Tientsin. France built its first cathedral in 1860, which was destroyed during the Boxer Rebellion and later rebuilt. Between 1895 and 1900, France and Great Britain were joined by Japan, the German Empire, the Russian Empire and other countries that had no concessions elsewhere in China: Austria-Hungary, Italy and Belgium. Each concession was autonomous and had its own prisons, schools, churches, barracks and hospitals.
