这是后来出版的凯利和沃什地图的工作手稿草稿。

这是一幅独一无二的1919年凯利和沃尔什绘制的上海手稿地图——很可能是查尔斯·尤尔特·达文特所著《上海:旅行者和居民手册》中上海地图的原始工作草稿。它绘制于通商口岸鼎盛时期,当时上海是数十个民族的聚居地,他们居住在三个不同的行政区域:公共租界、法租界和中国管辖区。
进行中
这张地图上有几处注释,表明信息最初记录有误或在地图制作过程中有所更改。最值得注意的是,凯利和沃尔什的办公室似乎已从外滩皇宫酒店搬迁,因为他们的名字已被划掉。其他一些机构也被划掉或后面跟着问号。
条约港口时代的鼎盛时期
尽管上海在1842年已是一个规模可观的港口,但在第一次鸦片战争后被指定为通商口岸,其扩张速度更是惊人。英国和法国的商人和传教士被租借到城墙外的“中国城”(见下图)一带,尤其是在黄浦江沿岸直至苏州河(图中未标明,但苏州河口靠近俄国领事馆和赛艇俱乐部)一带。由于《南京条约》及其后一系列“不平等条约”的治外法权条款,西方人居住的地区逐渐脱离了中国的管辖。1862年,法国与美国和英国分道扬镳,建立了独立的法租界,而“盎格鲁人”则建立了公共租界(以爱德华七世大道为界,即今天的延安路,横跨洋涇浜溪)。

上海地处长江口附近,地理位置优越,是一个重要的贸易枢纽,很快便成为整个长江三角洲的门户。对外租界的宽松管理,使得上海以经济活力、多元文化、犯罪、毒品、卖淫和城市贫困而闻名(臭名昭著的位于市中心附近的多层娱乐综合体“新世界”将所有这些现象都集中在一栋建筑中)。
上海旅人
英国的影响在公共租界尤为显著,由此产生了此处提及的各种英式机构(例如上海俱乐部、赛艇俱乐部、乡村俱乐部以及举办赛马和赛狗的公共运动场)。尽管如此,上海的精英阶层仍然是由欧洲人、美国人、日本人、中国人和其他族裔组成的国际化群体。来自中国各地(例如传说中提到的行会)和世界各地的贸易移民群体在此落户,其中包括巴格达犹太人,他们的名字(如嘉道理、沙宣)几乎成了上海上流社会的代名词。由于通商口岸的主权地位并不明确,上海成为了无国籍人士和难民的避难所,其中包括白俄难民,以及后来逃离纳粹的维也纳犹太人。此外,还有许多不同国籍的人构成了上海的底层社会,包括警察、佣人、小商贩和演艺人员,例如帕西人、锡克教徒、安南人、韩国人、俄罗斯人、葡萄牙人(澳门人)和菲律宾人。

除了飞速的城市化进程,在绘制这幅地图时,上海正经历着重要的变革。日本和中国的企业家、银行家和商人逐渐成为上海精英阶层中日益重要的力量,而快速壮大的中国中产阶级,包括职员、工头和翻译,则涌入法租界、闸北(左上角为闸北)和虹口(右上角附近)不断扩张的住宅区。来自农村,特别是极度贫困的苏北地区的贫困移民,居住在现代城市边缘的简陋房屋里,通常是茅草屋,他们努力在工厂里寻找工作。那些找不到工作的人最终只能沦为人力车夫、粪便收集员和妓女。
出版历史和人口普查
鉴于这幅地图的草图质量和标注,它很可能是一幅印刷地图的草稿,几乎可以肯定是为查尔斯·尤尔特·达文特的《上海:旅行者和居民手册》所作的地图,该书由凯利和沃尔什出版社于次年出版。目前任何机构均未收藏此地图,且市面上极为罕见。
Cartographer

Kelly and Walsh (1876 - present) was a Shanghai based and managed publishing concern founded in 1876. The firm was organized around the consolidation of the Yokohama and Shanghai based Kelly and Company, owned by the Irish printer John M. Kelly, and the Scottish booksellers F. and C. Walsh. The firm was formally incorporated in Hong Kong on July 1 of 1885, when it sold some 1350 shares, most to Thomas Brown, a Shanghai resident to acquired 1114 of the outstanding shares. The remainder were acquired by a variety of stationers ad printers a 11 Bund, Shanghai, presumably Kelly and Walsh employees as this was their operating address (later they relocated to 66 Nanking Road in 1918, with offices also at 12 Nanking Road). The firm was most active from the 1870s to the 1940s, when it expanded into a variety of related business: bookseller, stationer, publisher, printer, lithographer, book binder, die engraver, color stamper, India rubber stamp manufacturer, news agent, music seller, commission agent, and tobacconist. There is some evidence that Kelly was active in Providence, Rhode Island, acquiring partial interest in the firm of Bubee and Hall, but it is unclear if in divested of his Asian interests. By the outbreak of World War II they had offices in Hong Kong, Yokohama, Tokyo, Singapore and Hankou (Wuhan). When the Japanese occupied Shanghai, the firm moved its management offices to Hong Kong, where it was acquired by Swindon Book Company in the 1950s. The Singapore branch of Kelly and Walsh, established in the prestigious Raffles Palce, operated an English language bookshop through from about 1881 to about 1956, publishing more than 200 titles and having its own bindery. The firm still operates a small chain of swank bookstores in Hong Kong.   Further Details...
