Description: EXCEPTIONAL Japan Album 1948-52 Koyoto Hiroshima Geisha Temples HUGE 581 photos original HQAMAZING historical record of 1948 to 1952 Japan in and around Koyoto. I have sold many photo albums over the years and this is truly an exceptional photo album. The quality of the photos, in both composition and preserved quality, leads me to conclude that the photographer was a semi-professional (at least) photographer. Wonderful human interest photos along with street scenes and location views. Great sense of framing the images and capturing and developing high-quality prints. As best I can tell, every single photo in the album is original. The vast majority of photos are identified and the penmanship on the lettering for the captions is consistent and clear.I see only three missing photos on the last page.Number of photos: 581 Years: 1948-1952 Locations: Japan (Kyoto, Osaka + others) Former owner: appears to be an American military family Approximate measurements of album: 15" x 12" x 2"Names identified Bebe Kilpatrick Frand DeMartine Kato-San Okuda Jean Hanlon Joe Haller Keith Wallace Gallagher and Jean Jim Seaman Marj Zehner Bob Zehner Mary Bull Billie Hilliard Capt.
