Hansong Seoul: Kyujanggak the Royal Library Preface dated 1793 & 1796. First edition of this handsome and large-format 323 x 217 mm. royal publication. King Chongjo 1752-1800 was one of the most intellectual and enlightened of the Korean monarchs. Perhaps Korea's greatest bibliophile as royal patron he supported all aspects of the book: typographers printers authors librarians and lexicographers. A number of "royal" editions were published under his auspices. He founded the Kyujanggak Library in 1776 now part of the library of the Seoul National University. "The official rhyming dictionary of Chinese characters compiled under the supervision of King Chongjo and engraved in 1796. The arrangement is different from the usual Korean system in that instead of three rows of characters in the same rhyme there are four rows with the ipsong characters distributed in the bottom row."-Fang The Asami Library. A Descriptive Catalogue 12.3. The main compiler of this work was the reformer Tong-mu Yi 1741-93 who had travelled to China and was an important member of the Northern Learning School. This group of intellectuals recognized the practical benefits of commerce and technology and urged the modernization of Korean society. Yi was appointed by King Chongjo as one of the famed four editors of the Royal Library overseeing the publication of books. A very nice copy. unknown books

Some glassine layers between leaves. Album rubbed and silk ties gone from top rear board hinge almost detached. Photographs generally Very Good or better with glassine layers mostly torn. A Good to VG item. 22 leaves. 300 b/w photographs ranging in size mainly 3" x 4-1/2" and 2" x 2". Few photographs missing. Some photographs contained in an envelope in rear of album. 10-3/4" x 16" Unless they were on the front lines equipped with C-Rations members of the U. S. Army stationed in Japan in the 1950s enjoyed hearty well-prepared meals - particularly the officers. This photograph album titled by its compiler "Far East Command 1951 - 1952 - 1953" contains snapshots and formal staff pictures of what appears to be the officers' mess of Pershing Heights - HQ for the Far East Command in Tokyo. The photographs show large kitchens Japanese cooks and waitresses in starched uniforms dining rooms and elaborate desserts on serving tables. During his time in Japan this officer also seems to have enjoyed some leisure time - trips to the beach with bikini-clad women temples sacred springs and other tourist attractions. He also photographed the interior of his own quarters some locals and many of the official buildings and their grounds. During the "Third Korean Winter" however he was sent North with the army as General Ridgway began "meatgrinder" tactics to regain the Korean peninsula. This second part of the album with pasted-in typewritten title "Pictures Taken in Korea 1952 - 1953" shows a rougher outfit with jeeps and artillery in the snow sandbagged quarters bundled-up Korean soldiers and what appears to be a portable mess. Despite the circumstances the cooks must have had efficient facilities in which to work; there is one small photograph of an elaborately iced and decorated cake proudly held by two chefs in white toques. At this time the major generals ordered food for their officers from Japan. The basic fare was apparently popular and was even said to be enjoyed by visiting entertainers like Jack Benny and Debbie Reynolds. There are several pictures of USO performances in this part of the album. unknown books
