With ca. 215 mounted original gelatin silver photographs from ca. 87x144 cm 3 ½ x 5 ¾ in to ca. 69x67 cm 2 ¾ x 2 ½ in five real photo postcards ca. 108x139 cm 4 ¼ x 5 ½ in and six printed postcards ca. 137x87 cm 5 ½ x 3 ½ in. Most photos with period white pencil captions in French on the mounts at least seven photos including one real photo postcard with captions in negatives. Full ornamented cloth album fastened with a string. Several photos with mild silvering but otherwise a very good album with strong interesting photographs. Historically interesting album of lively vernacular photographs apparently taken by a French resident of Canada during his trans-Pacific voyage from Vancouver to the Orient in the late 1934 and early 1935. The compiler and his travel companions left Vancouver aboard the “RMS Empress of Canada” and sailed to Hong Kong with a stopover in Saigon Vietnam. From there they traveled overland to Beijing and Seoul and then continued to Japan visiting Kyoto and Nikko. On the return journey they stopped in Honolulu and New York. The album contains 215 well executed photographs from the voyage and opens with over sixty images of Saigon showing rare views of the first tea factory in the East-South Asia the Bank of Vietnam and candid street scenes of native huts boutiques and restaurants. Especially interesting is a striking image of half-naked ethnic locals sitting on the ground beside a bicycle and posing for the camera. The other photos from the region capture topographical views riverside fishing gear on the Huong River and snapshots of the compiler and his companions throughout their journey by cars in canoes along the Mekong River etc. Among twenty-five photographs of Hong Kong a standout image illustrates a bustling street scene filled with residents in traditional attire shopfronts with Chinese signs and flags of the Wang Jingwei regime flying alongside the British Union Jack. The rest of the images show the city’s port waterfront glowing night views and moments of the travel group golfing. In Beijing the focus shifts to historical landmarks documenting the Summer Palace Nine Dragon Screen Ming Tombs Temple and Altar of Heaven and the iconic Chinese guardian lions. A dozen photographs of the Great Wall offer a rare glimpse of life along its slopes with locals carrying goods in baskets and leading donkeys through the rugged terrain. The Japanese portion of the journey includes evocative views of Kyoto’s Chion-in Temple the historic Yaami Hotel and a Buddhist temple with a monk standing solemnly at the gate. The group also visited Nikko capturing sites such as the Toshogu Shrine the ornate Yomeimon Gate a stone basin and tranquil views of Lake Chuzenji. The album closes with about forty photos of Seoul Temple of Heaven Honolulu views of the waterfront photos on deck and Arizona Grand Canyon. Overall historically interesting album of lively vernacular photographs apparently taken by a French resident of Canada during his trans-Pacific voyage from Vancouver to the Orient in the late 1934 and early 1935. hardcover

2021rif. 234609Daegu South Korea: Martianstory 2021. Rilegato hardback. Perfetto Mint. Testi e 76 fotografie a colori 44 in bianco e nero e 3 in argento di Jae Bok Lee scattate in Corea dal 2016 al 2020. In allegato in seconda di copertina un libretto cucito a mano con fotografie a colori a piena pagina. Edizione in coreano e inglese. Cm 20x23. pp. 130. Perfetto Mint. Prima edizione First Edition. Nel 1946 furono costruiti la fabbrica di lavorazione del tabacco di Cheongju e i magazzini Dongbu Changko. Le dimensioni di questa fabbrica e dei magazzini erano ENORMI. Impiegava oltre 3.000 residenti locali che venivano pagati per il loro lavoro e a cui era permesso parlare e scrivere nella loro lingua madre. Era un'azienda coreana e i cittadini di Cheongju erano orgogliosi dei risultati raggiunti. Un risultato incredibile considerando che erano passati 35 anni di colonialismo paralizzante. Nel 1999 la fabbrica stava diventando inattiva e si pensava a come reinventare lo spazio. Ma nel 2004 il cantiere chiuse definitivamente e rimase inattivo. Nel 2012 sono stati concepiti piani per rivitalizzare l'intero sito come spazio culturale. In Corea solitamente un luogo come questo viene demolito e viene costruito un nuovo complesso. Si tratta quindi di un passo epico per la pianificazione urbana che mantiene la storia e l'orgoglio locale. Questi edifici erano stati un simbolo della ricostruzione dell'indipendenza e della cultura coreana e dell'ascesa dell'industrialismo coreano. Ma poi decenni dopo sono stati un segno del crollo economico. Martianstory, hardcover
1917rif. 167697Tokyo: Rikuchi Sokuryobu 1917. First edition first printing of this bilingual tourist map of Mount Kumgang produced by the nascent Japanese colonial administration in Korea. In the 1910s politicized textbooks for Korean students singled out Fuji and Kumgang as the largest mountains in Japan and Korea while always stressing Fuji's status as the tallest. We have traced a single institutional copy at the National Diet Library. Kumgang was a popular destination for western travellers and naturalists. In 1917 the areas was visited by the legendary plant-hunter E. H. Wilson who discovered two species of maple as well as several new taxa on its slopes. In his notes he wrote how the mountain "drives a photographer to despair for no sooner has he taken one superb view than another seemingly more superb presents itself" quoted by Arnold Arboretum. Colour lithographed map 630 x 820 mm folding away to 209 x 110 mm as issued. Text in Japanese and English. Several contemporary ink circles and annotations. A few small splits along folds not affecting map area old brown paperclip mark a little creasing and soiling. A very good bright example.
