1920216411920. Japan OccupationWWII Primary-source photo album of United States military governance during the occupation of Japan with particular emphasis on the enforcement of legal authority and the administration of war crimes proceedings under Allied control. Centered on the career of General Charles Sabin Ferrin in his capacity as Provost Marshal of Tokyo the album captures the institutional frameworks through which U.S. forces maintained order supervised political transition and participated in the International Military Tribunal for the Far East IMTFE. The collection includes images of high-ranking military and political figures official proceedings connected to the war crimes trials and formal and informal interactions with Japanese leadership situating Ferrin's role within broader systems of occupation-era administration legal oversight and diplomatic engagement.<br /> <br /> The album contains 85 black-and-white silver gelatin photographs varying in size from 2.5" x 2.5" to 6" x 4.25" mounted in a clothbound album measuring approximately 7" x 5". The images begin in the United States depicting early domestic life before shifting focus to Ferrin's stationing in China from 1919 into the 1920s and later to his critical role in postwar Japan where he engaged with Japanese political and military officials at the highest levels. The China-era photographs include striking scenes of the U.S. Army's presence in Tientsin Tianjin as indicated by labeled photographs of "U.S. Army Buildings Tientsin" designed by architect Albert Benz. Other images capture American cavalrymen of the 15th Infantry Regiment on horseback lined up in disciplined formation labeled "1921 Tientsin China 15th Infantry U.S.A." The album also contains personal family moments such as a uniformed soldier cradling a small child on horseback annotated "1918 Russell" and an image of two children dressed formally on a walkway inscribed "Aug 26 1919 leaving for China." Additionally candid moments in Tientsin show a young child riding in a rickshaw pulled by a Chinese laborer and another with a Chinese woman identified as an "Ama" caring for the family's child at a beach in Chinwangtao Qinhuangdao in July 1921. <br /> By the late 1940s the album shifts focus to Ferrin's tenure as Provost Marshal of Tokyo a role that placed him at the center of postwar military governance and legal oversight. Several photographs depict U.S. military officials dining and meeting with Japanese political figures. One particularly notable photograph shows Ferrin standing beside a dignitary identified as "Prince Takamatsu Hirohito's younger brother." Other images depict high-ranking officers including Admiral James O. Richardson testifying at the International Military Tribunal for the Far East IMTFE with a caption stating: "Admiral James O. Richardson Commander-in-Chief United States Fleet testifies on the witness stand at the International Military Tribunal for the Far East during the Pearl Harbor phase of the trials of the 27 accused Japanese war criminals." A separate image shows troops of the 720 MP Battalion executing a right-dress formation in front of the War Ministry Building in Tokyo on October 13 1947. The presence of these high-ranking officials alongside candid social and formal meetings with Japanese elites underscores Ferrin's prominent role in enforcing law and order during the American occupation and his involvement in overseeing war crimes proceedings. The album is in very good condition overall. A rare and historically significant visual chronicle of General Charles Sabin Ferrin's career across pivotal moments in 20th-century history with firsthand images of U.S. military presence in China the occupation of Japan and high-level engagements with political and military leadership. unknown

It is always nice to hear from oone's readers and I am delighted to learn that both you and your husband found an hour's excitement in this otherwise rather dreary world.

193034866New York: circa 1930. 1930. Good. - 41 words typed on an approximately 10 inch high by 8 inch wide sheet of his personalized letterhead. Signed "A Abdullah". Folded 3 times for mailing. There are several short tears at the folds with some light red staining below the text. There is some light soiling at bottom right and there is a crease & tear to & a small piece out of the bottom right corner. Good. <p>Abdullah writes to future congressman Seymour Halpern that he is too busy to see anyone but "I am sending by this mail the signed picture to your friend."<p>Achmed Abdullah who claimed descent from the Russian imperial family and was educated in England emigrated to the United States in the 1910s. He went on to become an American author and screenwriter most noted for his pulp stories of crime mystery and adventure. He wrote screenplays for some successful films and earned an Academy Award nomination for collaborating on the screenplay for the 1935 film "The Lives of a Bengal Lancer".<p>The Queens New York Republican Congressman Seymour Halpern 1913-1997 started his political career as a campaign aide to New York's powerful mayor Fiorella La Guardia and first served in New York's State Senate for 14 years before seeking a seat in the U.S. Congress. In Albany Halpern sponsored 279 bills that became law including measures on schools housing civil rights nutrition and mental health. A Liberal he was something of an anomaly as the lone Republican representative from New York City and generally garnered support from Labor Unions and endorsement from the Liberal Party. Yet he never even considered switching parties as he considered membership in the Republican Party a family tradition and commitment. While he found ample time for his private pursuits including painting and collecting autographs he took his legislative duties very seriously. Of these he was proudest of his co-sponsorship of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and of the original 1965 Medicare legislation. New York: circa [1930]. unknown
19353203N.p. 1935. Very good. Photographically illustrated film herald 12 x 6 inches. Even toning minor edge wear short closed tear near top edge. A rare small broadside advertising a true crime presentation including real footage related to the shooting death of famed gangster John Dillinger.

The herald includes a portrait of Dillinger himself. The Dillinger film was paired with an action western from 1930 titled Trails of Danger. An early entry in American true crime and a wonderful display piece. unknown

From wikipedia:<br /> <br /> Getter's Island previously known as Abel's Island is a small island in the Delaware River in Easton Pennsylvania in the United States. It is best known as the location of the execution of Charles Getter the last person to be publicly executed in Pennsylvania. History edit Execution of Charles Getter edit The island is named after Charles Getter a farm hand who was hanged on the island in 1833 for the murder of Margaret Lawall a woman he married to avoid prosecution for impregnating her outside of wedlock. Getter's execution was initially scheduled to take place at Center Square in Easton but it was moved to the island - then known as Abel's Island - to accommodate the crowds.<br /> An estimated 15000 to 20000 people some of whom traveled hundreds of miles gathered in the town to view the execution. 12 An initial attempt to hang him failed forcing a second attempt which resulted in his death. A reporter who witnessed the scene was horrified at how little the crowd was affected by the execution and called on lawmakers to take action. 2 Governor George Wolf agreed with the reporter and signed a law banning public execution on April 10 1834. As a result Getter was the last person in Pennsylvania to be publicly executed. 2. Printed at Alexander's General Printing Office hardcover
