BOX 9
Newspaper clippings covering mainly the "Chinese Crisis" of 1900, Hart's death and estate, misc. reports on Hart's activities and letters published in the papers.
Hymns In Memoriam, Church of Our Saviour, Peking, 25 September 1911 (booklet)
PHOTOGRAPHS
There are hundreds of photographs placed in three cartons in no particular order, and further sorting needs to be done. A straightforward tally could have been made of them but for the fact that many are in duplicate, triplicate, even quadruplicate copies. Almost all are mounted and generally in excellent condition. A few are autographed or captioned.
The three generations of Harts are well represented, with a large number of Hart himself at different ages.
Another large group is of friends of the various Harts and relatives.
Note: A couple of other non-photographic items are kept in these cartons because of size.
SOME ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST
These cartons also contain certain items of special interest. There are what might be called "Chinese official photographs": including autographed portraits of Chinese officials presented to Hart and Lady Hart, including T.Y. Chang, Prince Chen, Tieh Liang, Wen-chi, P'u lun, Sieh (Hsieh Fu-cheng) (in colour!). A particularly interesting one is a group photograph of Manchu princesses and European ladies who are identified individually. (CARTON 1)
There are two photographs of what appear to be Hart's music band, one of adults and the other of teenagers (?) (CARTON 1)
