1956Best.-Nr. 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

Best.-Nr. 1116770 folding leaves all roughly 250 x 170 mm. Korea: mostly dated between 1910 and 1913. This fascinating collection comprises a series of handwritten administrative and case notes pertaining to police spying activities regulations and security planning in colonial Korea under Japanese rule. The documents were prepared by operatives in the Police Bureau of the Government-General of ChosÅn . Our documents are diverse in scope ranging from operational details such as surveillance and sentry procedures at the Amnok River Bridge 鴨緑江橋 the natural border between North Korea and China today accompanied by a folding colored map of the river oversight of local shrines and temples investigations into human trafficking and the abduction of women and civil police deployment plans covering major port cities. Certain entries are dated and bear the personal annotations of Akashi Motojiro who served as Chief of Police in the Government-General of ChosÅn and later became Governor-General of Taiwan. His contributions include a "Proposal to Expand the Ethnic Korean Police" marked "secret" and dated December 1911 as well as memoranda documenting statistics and tallies of Japanese and Korean police officers as of October 1912. Akashi's involvement underscores the significance of these notes for understanding the structure and priorities of the colonial police. Japan's formal annexation of Korea in 1910 inaugurated a colonial regime 1910-45 that employed its police force to maintain public order suppress dissent enforce new regulations and monitor civil society - overseeing everything from resident registration and religious activities to labor and public health. While the "military rule" of the 1910s gave way to a "cultural rule" with some reforms after 1919 police surveillance and public-security operations continued as fundamental mechanisms of control. This collection offers an extremely rare perspective on both the daily operations and the broader institutional planning of Japanese colonial policing. Fine condition. unknown

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.

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.

Best.-Nr. 11384. 1 46 folding leaves. Small folio 346 x 227 mm. orig. yellow semi-stiff wrappers lightly rubbed title in manuscript on upper cover old stitching. HansÅng: Un'gak 1773. First and apparently only printing of the official record of "linked songs" composed at the royal banquet of elders on the occasion of King YÅngjo's r. 1724-76 80th birthday in 1773 printed the day after the banquet and presented to its guests. The title is not in WorldCat or KORCIS; we locate only two other copies both in Korea. In the intercalary third month of the 50th year of his reign King YÅngjo - the longest reigning monarch in ChosÅn history - held two birthday banquets within the KyÅnghŭigung 慶熙宮 palace complex. According to the colophon the first was a banquet of high-ranking officials held at the SungjÅng Hall 崇政殿 on the first day of the month. The second which took place a day later was a gathering of elders at the Kimsang Gate 金商門 "to reminisce about the events of the kingdom's past." The suggestion for these banquets came from the Grand Heir wangseson 王世孫 enthroned as King ChÅngjo in 1776 and was accepted by King YÅngjo only reluctantly. The high-ranking official SÅ MyÅng-ŭng å¾å‘½è†º 1716-87 who composed the colophon describes the festive banquet of elders as follows: "On this day the rain ceased and the sky cleared. A gentle breeze blew softly. Looking up at the throne one saw the King standing tall beneath the colorful canopies the table to his left and staff to his right. Looking down at the banquet hall one saw white-haired elders and toothless seniors their faces glowing amidst the delicacies. When the bells and drums were about to sound and the cups were not yet raised the elderly commoners delighting in this joyous gathering cast aside their staffs and rose to dance. Stooping and stumbling they advanced forward while shouting: 'May the King live a thousand years!'" King YÅngjo smiling at this sight composed a short verse that invoked the famous Song of Great Wind Ch. dafeng ge 大風歌 of Liu Bang 劉邦 256-195 B.C.E. the first king of the Han dynasty likewise written during an auspicious gathering of elders. He then asked the Grand Heir and other officials at the banquet to each compose a song echoing his own in three enneasyllabic lines ending with the sinographs sul 述 baek 百 and Åk 億 respectively. The sequence of "linked songs" thus composed - together with the names and positions of their authors - were collected and printed to ensure the longevity of their transmission. The colophon continues "King Gao of the Han in the prime of his life happily celebrated with the elders of his village. This was of course a common occurrence. Yet he did not know that throughout the four quarters of the realm ritual and music take precedence; instead he was preoccupied with recruiting fierce warriors.Now our sovereign achieving the seniority of Yao and Shun observes the flourishing rites of Yu and Xia. The sagely ruler honors the longevity of his subjects and his subjects likewise revere the longevity of the sage ruler. This is truly something unheard of among the rulers of the Han and Tang dynasties." SÅ MyÅng-ŭng believes that the format of linked songs which brought together King YÅngjo and his subjects through reciprocal "winds of transformation" K. p'unghwa 風化 elevated this Korean banquet above its various Chinese precedents and into closer proximity to the sagely rites of old. Writing on the transregional tradition of linked songs in East Asia Amy Y. Zhang observes the "ubiquitousness of linked verse as a potential means of constructing defining and negotiating community" and when adapted by the Korean monarchy it became "a way to cultivate harmonious relations with his subjects and to ensure continued prosperous rule"-Zhang "Writing Communities into Being: The Art of Linked Verse" PhD diss. Harvard 2025 pp. 243-44. Based on the presentation inscription on the front endpaper in our and another copy see below the woodblocks for the Record were likely carved overnight so that imprints could be distributed to guests of the banquet the next day "the third day of the intercalary third month of the 38th year of the Qianlong reign." The title-page states that the woodblocks were carved at Un'gak 芸閣 i.e. the kyosÅgwan 校書館 the royal printing house and kept within the royal archives K. sago å²åº«. Our copy was presented to Sin U-sang 申禹相 1730-99 the Assistant Director of the Ministry of War K. pyÅngjo chwarang 兵曹ä½éƒŽ whose name together with the song he had composed at the banquet appears on f. 36r of the Record. Facing the title-page and on the first leaf of the royal Preface is the Seal of Presentation K. naesa'in å…§è³œå° which reads sÅnsajigi 宣賜之記. The oldest of five seals of presentation used throughout ChosÅn history the sÅnsajigi seal appears in royal presentation copies from 1534 to 1778 as Lee & Song demonstrate in "A Study on Naesabon Preserved in Kyujanggak" in Journal of Korean Library and Information Science Society 43 no. 2. The title though recorded in traditional Korean bibliography is not in WorldCat or KORCIS. We locate only two other copies one held at the Academy of Korean Studies in SÅngnam call no. MF35-2211 and the other at the Sudang kot'aek ä¿®å ‚å¤å®… residence of the Yi clan in Yesan. The front endpaper of the Academy of Korean Studies copy is not digitized while the Sudang kot'aek copy bears a similar royal presentation inscription dated to the same day as our copy. It was presented to Yi Su-il æŽç§€é€¸ 1705-79 whose composition is recorded on f. 30r-v. Excellent copy a few leaves lightly stained on upper corner. unknown
