Description: British Parliament 1925 Vintage Lithograph "The Bund", SHANGHAI, China, 1930, Custom's Building, Harbor & World War I Memorial, which was destroyed by the Japanese during World War II - 1932 Historical Print Print features photograph of Shanghai in 1930 showing a city where East and West met, danced and did business. Shanghai in the 1930s was a center of trade, with foreign trade happening in the concessions and the Bund and internal trade at Shiliupu port. The city's good environment for investment made it one of the most important business hubs in China and the Far East. The name "The Bund" was derived from an Anglo-Indian term that literally means "a muddy embankment." At the beginning of the 19th century, the area was a mere shallow waterfront covered with reeds. Located along the Huangpu River, the Bund shows off Shanghai's outstanding foreign-influenced buildings, most of which were erected before 1937. The Bund was China's Wall Street. In the 1930s, the buildings, featuring a variety of architectural styles from different countries, housed the world's greatest banks, foreign embassies and branches of foreign trading enterprises making the city a financial and commercial hub.

Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
