JAPANESE PRESENTATION PHOTO ALBUM WITH PRINTED GERMAN CAPTIONS
A most unusual photo album, certainly meant as a presentation piece, featuring within sixty 11 1/2" x 9" professional quality mounted photographs of Japanese military-related photographs, with the facing page bearing equal-sized printed sheets with German titles and captions for each image. The images cover the Japanese involvement in World War II from the launching of aircraft during the strike on Pearl Harbor to the battle of the Coral Sea in May, 1942. The photographs are professional in quality and composition: eight images of the attack on Pearl Harbor, including a bogus image of the ARIZONA, attacks on the REPULSE and PRINCE OF WALES, the fall of Hong Kong, the Philippines and Singapore, the campaigns in Burma, Bali and New Britain, and much more. Photographs are in fine condition, a few of the captions may bear a few short tears. Set into a leather album with torn cover and replacement screw-type binding. Clearly not a commercially available item!
