    Description

    Original 1949 - 1953 photo album from Republic of China / Taiwan although a few might have been taken in mainland China. A young college aged Chinese girl is seen repeatedly throughout the album and I think it once belonged to her. The photos depicting a wide range of subjects with quite a few being industrial or factories with some of these dated 1949. I checked for captions on these and most have dates and short captions like ' D.D.T. ' or ' Cane Works '. A few of the larger photos have captions written within the photo and I managed to get some of these translated. These include: ' Nanjing Central University alumni gathered at Tainan City Taiwan Hotel for gathering 12/12/1954. ' and ' Taiwan Sugar Company second term C technicians training graduation, December 2nd, 1953 at Sugar Experimental Bureau ' and ' Taiwan Sugar Corp. soil and fertilizer training class with entire academic faculties and students 1951/8/21 '.  There are a few military photos including a paratrooper unit jumping from an aircraft, early helicopter, what appear to be P-51 mustangs in service with the Republic of China's air force. Really a nice range of photos and an interesting look at Taiwan's history. The album contains about 400 photos with a range of sizes. There are two loose pages with a few photos and these pages look to have come from a different album but it is the same family.
    The softcover album measures 14" x 10" and roughly 1" inch thick. I have uploaded all the photos in the album for your viewing. Will be well packed and shipped priority mail within the US and eBay international shipping for buyers outside the US. PLEASE NOTE  -  I have other photo albums from this family listed.
