Native and Tax passes

Native Passes were all made in Germany and were issued between May 1904 and May 1913. The last ordered in August 1914 (5000 for Arob) did not arrive due the outbreak of the war. All were made of brass, oval in shape, uniface, approximately 53mm high, 35mm wide and 2mm thick, with a raised rim around the observe side and a 3mm hole at the top for suspension, dimension can vary by as much as 2mm. All bear the Imperial German Crown and the district or town of issue. The bearer’s number is stamped onto the pass in figures 6mm high. For Bethanien passes are known with figures 4mm high. Unissued passes, ie. unstamped passes are not uncommon for all areas. “Token Cataloque”

Hut Tax was a feature of British colonial policy at the beginning of the last century. Metal tokens were issued in Southern Rhodesia and Bechuanaland. It seems no metal tokens were issued for The Cape, Natal, Transvaal or Free State. It is not known whether Hut Tax tokens were used in Nyasaland. In Northern Rhodesia a system of tax stamps was employed with varying symbols or emblems being used to represent the year of validity. “Token Cataloque”

 A Chinoiserie bamboo wash stand

 

Chinoiserie bamboo wash stand

Chinoiserie entered the European repertory in the mid-to-late 17th century; the work of Athanasius Kircher had a lot of influence on the study of orientalism. The popularity of chinoiserie peaked around the middle of the 18th century, when it was easily assimilated into rococo by the works of François Boucher. It declined when it seemed to European eyes the very antithesis of neoclassicism. Chinoiserie is often expressed in the decorative arts of Europe, and its expression in architecture was entirely in the field of whimsical follies. By contrast, the serious transformations that Chinese models effected in the eighteenth century, on the plain style of Early Georgian English furniture, notable in the cabriole leg, or on the “naturalistic” style of English landscape gardening, to take two clear examples, are not considered instances of “Chinoiserie”. Chinoiserie has made a comeback since the late 20th century. Modern interpretations of Chinoiserie incorporate modern design elements, and techniques. Chinoiserie can be seen as in influence in many housewares throughout Europe and North America.
