    Description

    This is from the mid to late 40's. (Most likely just post WW2). Measures 15 1/4" X 10 3/4"" and features a map of both Japan and Korea hand painted on the black lacquer cover. Front and back covers feel like a thin wood material. The 23 photo pages are plain, thick black paper. Each page is separated by a layer of thin, yet really strong tissue; these keep your photos from touching and damaging each other. The book is bound by silk string tassels on the bound side with the damage as noted above. This piece is fresh from a VT estate.
