China. Headquarters of the French Legation in Peking (M. Pichon being Minsiter). (Copy of Lieutenant Darcy's report made during my Marseille-Tonkin 1900 voyage). 1900. Paperback in-4, marbled blue cover with handwritten title label. Personal unsigned manuscript copy of an important report by Lieutenant Darcy to Rear Admiral Courrejolles, Commander-in-Chief of the Far East Naval Division. The manuscript begins with a list (2 ff.) of Legation and Petang personnel, specifying for each "wounded" or "killed", before the actual report, consisting of [70] pp., recounting day by day the events that took place in the Peking Legation district between May 30 and August 31, 1900, at the height of the Boxer revolt. It ends with 2 handwritten fold-out plans of the district. The legation district east of Tian'anmen Square (and the Pe-Tang three kilometers away) was besieged by insurgents for 55 days, resulting in numerous deaths and an international diplomatic crisis. The movement, organized by the "Fists of Justice and Concord" (a secret society with the symbol of a closed fist) and initially opposed to reform, Western foreigners and the feudal power of the Manchu Qing dynasty, was used by Empress Dowager Cixi against colonists alone, leading to the siege of foreign legations in Beijing on June 20, 1900. The victorious military intervention of the eight Allied nations against China (Austria-Hungary, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States) led to the signing of a peace protocol giving foreign powers the right to station troops to protect their legations. A wall was built around the neighborhood, and all Chinese residents were expelled. The district became a city within the city, reserved exclusively for foreigners, and was for a long time a symbol of foreign oppression, particularly among Chinese nationalists. With undated auction bill from Maison Osenat to the former owner (lot no. 229?).
