- Used
- very good
- Hardcover
Hardcover. Very Good/No Dust Jacket Issued.
The album documents a family's travel mainly in Japan, but also in Europe and the eastern United States. Internal evidence suggests the family may have lived in Japan in the early 1900s and were possibly missionaries, although this is not clear. The largest portion of the photos and postcards are of Japan.
Most of the postcards are unposted; some real photo, some printed. Album is dated 1924-1927. The photos and postcards are attached using slits, so can easily be removed. Not all slots are filled. Several pieces of ephemera laid in. Overall good; album pages chipped on edges. Self Published
Includes 62 vintage postcards of Japan, including Osaka Castle; Nara; Horiuji; Japanese art and sculpture; the Wedded Rocks at Futami; Ise; Cave of the Sun Goddess; Koyosan (home of the Shinto sect); a Nestorian monument. 35 photographs are of of family and scenery in Japan, including the deer at Nara; Horiuji; going up Mt Koya at Koyosan; public school children at Koyosan saluting; pilgrims at Koyosan; students of the Koyosan Daijuken on way to celebration in 1924; students on the way to Kobo Daishi Temple; monks at Koyosan; Temple of Kobo Daishi, and more.
A postcard of the Empress of Canada indicates the family returned to the US in 1924. They then took a train across Canada to their home (Pennsylvania). There are 10 photos of traveling by train through British Columbia; Banff; Canadian Rockies; Three Sisters; Lake Louise, Alberta; and the Great Divide between British Columbia and Alberta.
46 photographs are of family outings: Lake Geneva WI in 1924; Sewickley PA (home at last September 1924); Broad Brook April 1925,; Lake Placid 1925; and more.
A large group portrait is entitled 'Summer School Theology Lancaster Penna 1925'.
Other postcards (6) include Lancaster County PA; Lake Buell, MA 1927; King Ravine on Spur Trail, NH; Cold Brook Falls, NH, Pine Mountain Gorham, NH.
The album also records a family trip to Europe in 1925, with 11 postcards and 12 photographs of France and 40 photographs and 26 postcards of Italy, Netherlands, Austria and Belgium.
The album documents a family's travel mainly in Japan, but also in Europe and the eastern United States. Internal evidence suggests the family may have lived in Japan in the early 1900s and were possibly missionaries, although this is not clear.

Description:
Indianapolis: Dog Ear Publishing, January 2013. Trade Paperback. Fine. Slight reading wear to corners, otherwise pristine. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. Not damaged. Suitable for gifting. 163 pages. The 25 authors of this book were volunteers in the first Peace Corps rural community development project in Africa: Sierra Leone, 1965-67. They are also the first group to tell a collective story of Peace Corps volunteers, anywhere. The Peace Corps was in its infancy then, and memories of John Kennedy were strong among the young volunteers. Sierra Leone was also in its infancy in the first few years after independence, before military coups and tribal warfare became common. The authors forthrightly recount their feelings of loneliness and isolation, and their frightening experiences with secret societies and witchcraft, but their uniquely optimistic "can-do" American attitude brought most through a great life experience.

Bound in brown half-leather over marbled boards, title in gilt within a red title piece. The first edition of the author's first book. William Wilson (1772-1849) inherited a substantial sum from an uncle, and decided to indulge his passion for travel. He travelled throughout Europe and The Middle East and wrote a series of books. This was his first, and it was the most popular, going through several editions. This is a good copy as all plates, including the frontispiece, have been excised. The boards show moderate wear, heavier at the spine ends. The front hinge is cracked. The text block is mainly clean with a few marks of unknown origin.
