Founder and early leader of China's Nationalist Party. Alarmed by the weakness and decay of his country, he founded the Society for the Revival of China, and sprang to fame when, on a visit to London, he was kidnapped by the Chinese legation and released through the intervention of the Foreign Office. He returned to China after the 1911 Wuhan rising, realized that he would not be widely acceptable as president, and voluntarily handed over the office to Yuan Shikai. After the assassination of his follower, Sung Chiao-jen, civil war ensued (1913), and he set up a separate government at Guangzhou (Canton). He was widely accepted as the true leader of the nation. Rare 5 x 7.25 cabinet portrait, by F. Gutekunst of Philadelphia, picturing Sun Yat Sen seated in a kimono and holding a fan, with a far away look in eyes. Signed in Chinese characters along the right edge and also signed below the image by Wu Tingfang who served as Minister of Foreign Affairs during the early years of the Republic of China. Light scuffing, trivial scattered foxing, and two small stains to the border, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by a small unsigned transmittal card imprinted “Compliments of Sun Yat Sen, 29 rue Moliere, Shanghai, China.” Virtually nonexistent in signed photographs. Provenance: The Barry Hoffman Collection.
