"Little Red Book" Braille edition printed in Braille" edited by the PLA Central Political Department as transcribed by the Shanghai Municipal Blind Persons` Middle School Printing Company brown cartridge paper sewed contents worked loose from stitching original flexible red vinyl plastic covers with the Chinese title and red star lightly indented on the front heavily soiled and torn some chipping rear cover repaired with brown tape small folio [Shanghai or Beijing] Blind Person`s Monthly Press July 1967; possibly incomplete and sold not subject to return. ***Amongst the rarest "translations" made of Mao`s Little Red Book. The first official date when education was provided to the blind in China is 1874 when the opening of the first school for the blind was started by foreign missionaries though the Guild of Blind Musicians (mainly for the Court) is known to have existed as early as the Han dynasty two thousand years ago. Presumably the embossed Braille alphabet has translated the original Chinese characters into Pinyin for Chinese readers " but it is difficult to verify its full collation since none of the bibliographies of Chairman Mao`s writings pay special attention to this version aside from noting its existence. It appears to collate in gatherings of three leaves + three stubbs; the earliest Braille version of Quotations identified is from May 1966 but only this second edition published one year later was issued in a gigantic red vinyl binding.

Large vase depicting Chairman Mao the radiating portrait emphasising Mao as the sun" the triple sunflower motif around the shoulder represent the three loyalties to Mao his thoughts and the proletarian revolutionary line the red bandana berries on the neck are an immediate and everlasting visual code of allegiance to Mao`s thought the reverse of the vase inscribed with Mao`s poem `The Double Ninth` and further inscribed "Wish Mao a Long Life" porcelain 655mm. high marked and dated Jiangxi Company of Ceramic Industry 1968. ***The particularly remarkable aspect of this vase is that Mao`s image is painted in under-glaze blue a high-risk process often resulting in kiln-failure. In choosing to decorate the vase in this way the maker took an even greater risk of being declared a counter-revolutionary had Mao`s image been marred in any way. The poem on the reverse translates as: Man ages all too easily not nature; Year by year the Double Ninth returns. On this Double Ninth The yellow blooms of the battlefield smell sweeter Each year the autumn wind blows strongly It is not spring`s splendour Yet surpasses spring`s splendour The frosty sky and river stretches before the eyes ten thousand miles. This ci poem was written by Mao in October 1929 to commemorate the victory of one of his early guerilla wars at that time. The Double Ninth (Chongyang) refers t othe Chinese autumn festival on the ninth day of the ninth month according to the Chinese calendar. The poem was first published in the prime literary journal Renmin Wenxue " in 1962.
