Priced for quick sale due to downsizing of a longtime collection.
Historically important lot of 17 antique postcards depicting Korea during the Japanese occupation period, dating to the early 20th century (circa 1905–1930s).
This group includes 15 standard-size postcards and 2 fold-out panoramic postcards, featuring a wide range of subjects such as city views, government buildings, streets, harbors, rural scenes, and people studies. Several cards include English titles alongside Japanese text, produced by Japanese publishers for the export and tourist market during the colonial era.
Locations represented include Keijō (京城, colonial-era Seoul) and Fusan (Busan), with architecture and urban planning characteristic of the Japanese administration in Korea. Panoramic cards offer extended views of cities and landscapes and show original fold lines as issued.
A strong and well-rounded lot for collectors of Korean history, Japanese empire and occupation material, early photography, ethnographic imagery, or vintage postcards. An increasingly scarce category with significant historical interest.
