1953réf. 212881953. African American military photo album 1953-1960 documenting the service and personal life of a Black U.S. Air Force serviceman across multiple postings during and after the Korean War. The album records military duty daily routines and interpersonal relationships within an increasingly integrated armed forces providing visual evidence of African American participation in Cold War military infrastructure. The material captures both overseas deployment in Korea and domestic life across U.S. bases situating individual experience within broader patterns of military service and social change following desegregation. Album comprises 101 black-and-white silver gelatin photographs most measuring approximately 3.5" x 3.5" mounted on black pages with corner mounts. Early images place the serviceman at Kessler Air Force Base in Mississippi followed by extensive documentation of his time in Korea likely associated with the 650th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron as indicated by a tent marked with unit insignia. Photographs show military encampments with tents and barracks vehicles including trucks and jeeps and groups of soldiers engaged in daily routines. One caption identifies "Our home in Korea" accompanying images of base infrastructure. Additional scenes include a USO performance at "K-6 Korea 54" where servicemen gather beneath a "Camp Shows" banner. The album continues with postings at Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota and locations in Alaska where winter conditions specialized vehicles and outdoor activities are visible. Social and interpersonal life is extensively documented with repeated appearances of individuals identified as "Daril" "Bunky" "Peanuts" and others shown in uniform at leisure and in group settings. Domestic scenes include family gatherings such as "Roger's Birthday Party June 59" and images of women and children identified as "Mary" "Rochelle" and "Teresa" indicating sustained family connections. Travel photographs include roadside markers such as "Welcome to Illinois" and "Entering Indiana" while Alaska-based images depict community events including dog sled races and local festivals. Created during the transitional period following the desegregation of the U.S. military these photographs provide a sustained record of African American service members operating within integrated units while maintaining personal and family networks across geographic distances. The combination of overseas deployment domestic postings and family life offers a comprehensive view of military and social experience during the 1950s. Album pages show some loss and covers are detached; photographs remain sharp with strong tonal quality and are largely well-preserved; overall very good condition. This album offers an extensive documentary record of African American military life and community formation in the Korean War and early Cold War period. unknown
1956réf. 215131956. African American Military History Korean War Unidentified photographer African American soldiers in South Korea 1956 documents Black military service within the early post armistice U.S. occupation of Korea and provides visual evidence of desegregation in practice following Executive Order 9981. Produced three years after the Korean Armistice Agreement the images situate African American enlisted men within the operational landscape of U.S. military engineering and logistical support during the Cold War consolidation of American presence on the Korean peninsula. The archive documents the role of Black soldiers in infrastructure maintenance transport and base security while also recording their proximity to Korean civilian life in a recovering war zone. The identification of the 376 Engineer Battalion places the material within the institutional framework of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers whose work underpinned military mobility and reconstruction during this period. South Korea 1956. Archive of 22 black and white silver gelatin photographs most measuring approximately 5 x 4 inches depicting African American soldiers stationed near a U.S. military installation likely in the Uijeongbu or Dongducheon corridor north of Seoul where engineering and support units were concentrated. Multiple images include signage identifying the "376 Engineer Battalion" while others show mixed-race groups of soldiers gathered near convoys of M35 2½ ton cargo trucks and smaller support vehicles used for personnel and supply transport. One photograph includes a Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar aircraft in the background confirming the logistical environment of cargo movement and aerial supply. Soldiers appear in standard issue fatigues with visible non commissioned officer insignia engaged in routine duties such as transport checkpoint supervision and base operations. Several photographs depict Korean civilians moving through nearby marketplaces and village spaces including women wearing traditional hanbok passing through areas of visible economic strain characterized by unpaved roads and temporary structures. English and Hangul signage including a storefront labeled "Kind Shop" further situates the images within a localized commercial environment shaped by U.S. military presence. The archive documents a transitional period in both U.S. military policy and Korean society as the formal desegregation of the armed forces intersected with the realities of overseas deployment in a recently devastated region. While integrated units are visible the clustering of Black soldiers within shared duties and informal groupings indicates the persistence of racialized social structures within the ranks. At the same time the photographs establish the everyday presence of American troops within civilian Korean spaces during early Cold War reconstruction linking military labor to broader geopolitical objectives in East Asia. Light surface wear including minor creasing and scattered abrasions; images remain clear with strong contrast. Overall very good condition. A cohesive visual record of African American military labor postwar occupation and cross cultural contact in Korea during a formative phase of U.S. global military expansion. unknown
1964réf. 197821964. Anonymous photographs of African American soldiers stationed in Korea and Europe produced c. 1960s document Black military service during the Cold War and provide primary-source evidence for the study of U.S. Army deployments racial integration in the post-World War II military and lived experience within forward operating environments near geopolitical flashpoints. The images place African American servicemen at installations including Camp Kaiser in South Korea located within proximity to the Korean Demilitarized Zone and in European urban and alpine settings indicating rotational or multi-theater deployment. The archive supports research into the role of Black soldiers in Cold War containment strategy as well as the everyday conditions mobility and social environments encountered by enlisted personnel across Asia and Europe during a period of sustained global military presence. Archive of 24 original black and white silver gelatin photographs c. 1960s primarily measuring approximately 4" x 3". At least half of the images are identified as taken in Korea with multiple captions including "Camp Kaiser" "Korean Home" "Village" and "CO Area" situating the group within a U.S. Army installation environment composed of cinder block structures and Quonset huts approximately 60 miles north of Seoul and within range of North Korean artillery positions. One overhead view shows the full layout of Camp Kaiser while other images depict African American soldiers in field conditions described as "Cold Wet" trekking and camping in rugged terrain. Additional Korean scenes include a soldier leaning against a tank marked "Kimchee" and an airfield photograph showing a chrome fighter jet surrounded by personnel alongside additional aircraft including a biplane. European photographs include a parade observed from an apartment window in a German-speaking alpine town featuring a float labeled "General Knuller" as well as street-level images of crowds deployed fire engines and soldiers observing from a Volkswagen Beetle. One image shows an African American soldier standing outside a synagogue marked by a Star of David with a flag bearing the inscription "Troop Att 1964" indicating interaction with local religious or commemorative sites. The photographs align with the global positioning of U.S. forces during the Cold War particularly in South Korea following the Korean War armistice and across Western Europe as part of NATO-aligned defense strategy. African American soldiers serving in an officially desegregated military after 1948 participated in these deployments while navigating both military hierarchy and broader social transformations associated with the Civil Rights era. The archive captures a range of activities from patrol and training environments to civic encounters and public events offering a geographically dispersed visual record of Black military presence within U.S. Cold War operations. Light wear and minor handling present; captions and details remain legible; overall very good condition. unknown

1902réf. 220266Japan. No date. Circa1902. Two very attractive colour folded manuscript maps one showing China and the other Korea. Map of China: Watercolour map 48 x 63.5cm. Closed tear now professionally repaired. Map of Korea: Finely detailed watercolour map a few tiny holes very neatly repaired on the verso with archival washi. 33 x 24.5cm Two delicate hand-painted maps one of China and one of Korea produced by a Japanese student cartographer named Koike Tokushige 小池徳重. The undated map of China appears to have been produced in the first five years of the twentieth century: a time when Japan had recently colonized Taiwan and when Japanese economic and political interest in the region was rapidly expanding. The inscription on the map suggests that it was a third year college project. But the high level of detail suggests that the artist had considerable experience of map making. The map of China shows the main provinces rivers major transport routes the Great Wall and the location of key cities although the names of the cities are not included. It also shows outlines of the Korean Peninsula Taiwan and the Japanese island of Kyushu but not the rest of Japan. The map of Korea is more detailed. It provides an accurate outline of the Korean Peninsula with careful hatching indicating changes in elevation. Rivers and major road routes are shown on the map and the locations of major towns are marked though only Busan and Incheon are named. Dotted lines show coastal sea routes and routes between Kyushu and Busan and between Incheon and China. The map shows the Gyeongin railway line between Seoul and Incheon which was completed in 1899 and route of the Gyeongbu railway line between Busan and Seoul whose construction started from both ends in 1901. But the map depicts only small sections of this line close to Seoul and Busan as being completed with the rest more lightly outlined to show the projected route implying that the map was drawn around 1901-1902 and certainly before the Gyongbu line was opened in 1904. Inserted text gives the land area and population of Korea. Rather strangely though the figure given for the Korean population is vastly underestimated. Ikeda gives this as 5.7 million when in fact at that time is was around 18 million. . unknown
