Japanese lacquered accordion folded album 20 x 15.5 cm. lacks one of two ivory faces else corners a bit rubbed contains 47 b.w. photos each ca. 14 x 8 cm.some a bit larger/smaller all clean excellent images.

Yokohama March 2nd 1912." This lovely album documents a journey by steam ship to Batavia Java then on to Rangoon Burma. The photographs are mostly about postcard size and are very clean and sharp images. The photographic development process left a silver tinge to these photographs when slightly bent it becomes more obvious. There is no fading whatsoever each image is strong clear and with good contrast. The photographs are mostly about postcard size and are very clean and sharp images. A good number of the photographs have pencil notations on the verso telling where and who is depicted in the photograph. The story unfolds with the inscription and then shows Mr. & Mrs. MacNarma sitting in the garden of the Netherlands Hotel Batavia Java with one more view of others sitting in the garden.

Native bullock cart ship-board poses arrival at what appears to be Thailand and its shrines. Mansion Hotel Rangoon with their dancing girls show Rangoon park Rangoon Street scene and British-buildings natives and the Rangoon Great Pagoda. CONDITION: The album is constructed of very firm stiff board with four corners cut into the card to allow the insertion of photographs. The hinges are very solid and the whole is solid and not loose or otherwise shaken. A lovely example. THE PHOTOGRAPHS: The photographs were placed into the album by its former owner or photographer we have removed each to read the captions for cataloging and replaced them in the exact order they were found. Some seem to be out of place in that they are mixed up according to place and not all in a logical order. Regardless they remain "as is" for any future researcher to make more sense of them. Some have no captions at all. There are other captions below some of the photos in pencil on the album pages perhaps place there later we do not know. There remains a few pages on both sides of the double-sided album that have no photographs this is near the end. By and large a nice example of foreigners taking a nice journey to the Exotic South East Asian area and documenting their visit with photographic memories. Albums of this period with such excellent photographic images so well preserved are unusual and seldom found on the market. . unknown
