W. V. Gibb. Each bowl with a collector's paper label on the base, respectively read '50 Propt. of A. W. V. Gibb' and '51 Propt. of A. W. V. Gibb'.Alex W. V. Gibb was working for Gibb, Livingston & Co., merchants, as a clerk, in Fuzhou (Foochow) in the late 19th century. [1] Gibb, Livingston & Company Ltd. was one of the most important and best-known foreign trading firms in China in the mid-19th and the first half of the 20th century. It was established in Hong Kong in 1841 by two Scotsmen, Thomas Augustus Gibb and William Potter Livingston, who were originally employees of the British East India Company. Started on a site off Queen’s Road, it developed as local mercantile operations along the lines of shipping and insurance. In 1844, a branch in Shanghai was founded and the firm’s Chinese name, 'Jinkee' was coined. In 1864, the firm had branched out at Fuzhou, where Alex W. V. Gibb would have based, mainly for the tea trade and from which the firm’s clippers operated.Living as an expat in China during the late Qing dynasty, Alex W. V. Gibb seems to have developed an interest in photography. The School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) at the University of London holds a collection of nine photographs taken by Alex W. V. Gibb featuring Chinese landscape, and expats in leisure activities, some located at Fuzhou.[1] See The Chronicle & Directory for China, Corea, Japan, the Philippines, Cochin-China, Annam, Tonquin, Siam, Borneo, Straits Settlements, Malays States, & c. for the Year 1889.
