Edition limited to 1000 numbered copies of which this is no. 331, printed for H[ugo] v. Heidenstam. The Swedish engineer and diplomat Hugo von Heidenstam served as chief engineer at the Chinese International Commission for Shanghai River and Port 1910-1928, and as a member of the Chinese Government's Committee on the Regulation of Yangtsekiang 1917-1928. Most likely of Scottish origin, Donald Mennie arrived in China in 1899 and worked initially for the firm Mactavish & Lehman & Co., one of the first Shanghaiese producers of picture post-cards, before moving to the likewise Shanghai-based company of A.S. Watson & Co. Mennie became a managing director of the firm and a leading entrepreneur in China in the 1920s and 30s, but he also had a passion for photography, and used his position in Watson's to get his photographs published.
