Title: KOREAN WAR PHOTOGRAPH ALBUM
Description: Soeul, Korea: , 1952. All housed in a deep red commercial album, with light red cord tie, and gold imprint "Photographs" to front cover. 25 leaves of black 'construction' mounting paper. 199 b/w images, of the 'snapshot' variety [3 spots evident were photos probably removed]. Approximately 10% captioned with white ink [no images examined out of the album, so additonal captions may be present on versos]. Album: 8-3/4" x 1`2-1/2". Images: range from 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" to 2-5/8" x 3-5/8" tp 3-1/4" x 4-1/2", though the bulk are the latter. Some extremity wear to album covers. Edge rash to some leaves. One leaf detached. Overall VG. Photos generally clear & without significant wear: VG - VG+. A visual record of a unidentified soldier's Korean service, and while, as expected, many are 'buddy' shots [e,g, "Xmas 1952"], there is also a goodly percentage of location [e.g. "Korean Festival" & "Train Station in Seoul"] & service related images [e.g. a number of photographs show Corsair aircraft & "Inside a Sabre Jet"], as well as some action images ["Accident on the way to Seoul. July 1952" and "Loading Planes with Bombs"]. A nice primary visual source documenting one man's tour in Korea during 1952.
