Tai Yi illustrations of the 8 Trigrams battle plan 6 double-page illustrations depicting bird`s-eye views of various troop formations some with muskets and banners gouache with pen and ink each c.400 x 480mm. five with red paper text panels laid on all splitting on the central fold some surface dirt contemporary patterned cloth boards worn and soiled title label pasted on folio early 19th century. ***This work almost certainly relates to the Eight Trigrams Rebellion of 1813 when various sects of the millenarian White Lotus religion believed the time right to bring about the end of the Ch`ing Dynasty and usher in a new age of eternal blessings. They planned uprisings in a number of cities in Northern China including Beijing but despite their tight organisation these were soon suppressed not least because of the high visibility of their flamboyant banners.

Our copy has been restored by a professional conservator and included in the lot are the original calf covers the endpapers stubs and some of the stitching. The original front pastedown bears pencil inscriptions reading “James Palmer`s Book 7 Jan`ry 1770” and beneath another exactly the same but the date “1 Jan`ry”.

A front endpaper bears a contemporary index of the charts the first four in ink in a contemporary hand the rest in pencil in a later hand.
