The year was 1937, and Japan had just started its attack on central China, starting with Shanghai. It was in effect the start of World War Two, and it marked the moment when the world of Old Shanghai started to crumble. The two volumes of Shanghai’s Schemozzle re-published here together for the first time, are amongst the rarest of the materials from that golden era of old Shanghai, the 1930s. They were published by the North-China Daily News, the top English language newspaper in China at the time, and contain some of the finest drawings from the pen of famed Russian cartoonist, Sapajou.
