I have owned over 40 china sailor and marine photo albums and NEVER have I seen one this good. the range of subject matter is vast with street scenes of hong kong and Shanghai and Cheefo as well every day life of sailors and natives of china including many un published Sino - Japanese war photos and much much more! The real bonus is the owner of the album was the ships cartoonist for the ships newspaper of the USS Houston and he titled and captioned nearly every photo!! There are some ...fantastic treasures here and I know this album would net someone 3-4k by breaking it up but I will not do that to the history his man recorded in his beautifully done album. There are over 500 (I counted 510!) ALL HINGED pictures and not glued! 98% ALL CHINA only one or two pages are the PI the rest is ALL CHINA -- Yangtze river pics along with others of the Great Wall, Street Scenes, Girls, Locals, Blind children (that the sailors & marines adopted), Every day life of both Sailors and locals as well as some really fantastic battle and war time pictures including some of the S.V.C (Shanghai Vols Corps) on the international bridge and FAR too much to accurately describe and nearly ALL CAPTIONED and nearly all with hand done professional cartoons! The images and album are in wonderful condition with nice bright images and beautiful brown leather DRAGON Album with retaining strap still in place and only a few pictures missing from a few pages and by the captions, they were personal pictures of the owner himself that he must have given to family or other veterans and do not affect the overall history of the album itself. I have added lots of photos and have not really scratched the surface of the contents of this album!! Buyer to pay 20.00 for USA and 50.00 overseas shipping. I do not have a BUY IT NOW PRICE, this album will go to end of auction, thanks!!On Jul-24-19 at 16:10:31 PDT, seller added the following information:
