Funérailles de Sun Yat-sen 26 mai - 1er juin 1929. 86 silver prints, c. 8,1 x 13,9 cm, pasted on 8 black thick loose paper ff., ms. legends. Sun Yat-sen (1866-1925) was a Chinese revolutionary statesman, physician, and first president and founder of the Republic of China ("Nationalist China"). As the foremost pioneer of the Republic of China, he is regarded as the "Father of the Nation" in Taiwan and the "forerunner of the democratic revolution" in the People's Republic of China. Sun played a crucial role in the overthrow of the Qing dynasty during the years leading up to the Xinhai Revolution. Although he was in Saint Louis, Missouri at the time, he was appointed president of the Provisional Republic of China when it was founded in 1912. Sun's most important legacy is the development of his political philosophy known as the Three Principles of the People: nationalism, democracy and popular prosperity. Among the photos: procession through the streets of Beijing, Chien Men railway station where Sun Yat-sen's body was transported to Nanjing, the mausoleum in Nanjing, official parade, etc. The hotel of the minister of Belgium in Beijing, house of the secretary of the Belgian delegation, the interprete himself, mister Pieters, the funeral service of marechal Foch in the St Michael's Church, Beijing 26 March 1929 and offical delegations of Italy, Japan, Scotland, America, France, etc. paying their respects, laying down wreaths, etc., with a.o.
