L’Éventail et L'Ombrelle, parus respectivement en 1882 et 1883, très illustrés par de nouvelles techniques et imprimés à petit nombre pour un public choisi d'amateurs bibliophiles et esthètes, sont, contrairement à l'image qui en a souvent été donnée de légèreté et de fanfreluche pour dilettante, deux belles et intéressantes études sur ces indispensables ornements de la mode de ces dames à travers le temps. Néanmoins Octave Uzanne très déçu voire marqué à vie d'avoir été considéré par trop de monde comme "le Monsieur de ces dames à l'éventail, à l'ombrelle, etc" (dixit Antoine Laporte, bouquiniste et auteur d'un violent pamphlet contre Uzanne publié en 1893). Il décide donc de donner en 1892 une édition bon marché, de format in-12, et sans illustrations, dans laquelle il expliquera en préambule souhaiter donner à un public de lecteurs, et non plus à un public d'esthètes bibliophiles, ces textes pour pouvoir les apprécier à leur juste valeur : "cette fois-ci, écrit-il, ce n'est plus aux iconophiles que je m'adresse, mais à ces lettrés qui prétendent lire, apprendre et connaître...". BEL EXEMPLAIRE DU TRÈS RARE TIRAGE DE LUXE A 10 EXEMPLAIRES SEULEMENT.

Meiji Era Japan in Stereoscopic Photography Underwood & Underwood Views of Religion Labor and Urban Life circa 1900s

1900226421900. Underwood & Underwood stereoview archive documents Japanese religious practice labor systems and urban environments during the Meiji period when Japan underwent rapid industrialization and imperial expansion following the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War. Produced in the early 1900s these images were designed for Western educational and commercial audiences forming part of a stereographic program that presented Japan as both modernizing and culturally distinct. The archive spans multiple regions including Osaka Harima Kyoto Tokyo Kawasaki Mount Fuji Nikko and Omori offering a geographically broad record of religious institutions agricultural labor and urban infrastructure. It supports research in early photography transnational visual culture and the representation of East Asia in Western media. Collection of 19 black-and-white stereoviews by Underwood & Underwood albumen prints mounted on original gray card stock with printed captions along the margins and extended descriptive text on the verso. Each stereoview measures approximately 3.5 x 7 inches. The series includes pilgrims ascending the slopes of Mount Fuji in ceremonial dress and an interior view of monks assembled at Ikegami Temple in Omori surrounded by ritual objects. Views of Nikko depict cedar-lined approaches shrine architecture and visitors gathered at temple precincts. Urban scenes include Osaka waterways with merchant boats and a view of Osaka Castle's stone fortifications and moat. Additional images show a weaver at work groups of women in kimono posed for the camera vendors and performers near Kyoto shrines and children assembled in public activity. Religious imagery includes Shinto elements such as shrine statuary torii gates and ritual spaces alongside landscapes featuring Mount Fuji and coastal environments. The selection reflects a deliberate balance of sacred rural and urban subjects. These stereoviews circulated during a period of expanding international engagement as Japan promoted itself to foreign audiences while consolidating its status as a modern imperial state. Visual materials of this kind contributed to a transpacific exchange in which Japan was framed through dual narratives of continuity and transformation aligning with Western expectations of cultural difference while documenting infrastructural and social change. Increasing contact between Japan and the United States during this period combined commercial exchange and tourism with emerging political tensions that would shape immigration and foreign policy debates. Light edge wear and occasional fading primarily to printed text; images remain clear; overall very good condition. A cohesive stereographic archive illustrating the construction and circulation of Japanese visual identity in the early 20th century. unknown

Photo Album of a Lutheran Missionary in Japan

19695ca. 1920-1931 Kyushu Japan. Very good . Oblong 4to. String-tied commecial album; black boards. Contains 57 gelatin-silver prints of various sizes including 8" by 10" 7.5" by 5" and smaller most of which are adhesive-mounted with several loose plus 11 postcards depicting Kyushu Lutheran churches and one bookmark. One photograph apparently perished; several others loosening from pages. Else apparently complete.Album edges moderately worn; one photo missing a chunk at edge. Most are lightly toned but overall clean. Very good or better. Well-assembled photo album compiled by an American Lutheran missionary to Japan whose face appears consistently in the majority of the photographs. The island of Kyushu is home to several Lutheran schools and churches including the Kyushu Gakuin Kyushu Lutheran College and the Janice James School both of which are pictured here having recently been built in the early 1900's. The Kyushu Lutheran mission was founded in 1893 by American missionaries; within several years they began building churches under the supervision of one Charles Lafayette Brown 1874-1921 and presumably the subjects pictured here with members of that particualr mission. The album features posed group photographs of large congregations Â— as large as roughly 150 Â— captioned with date and location in cities including Kurume Kamamoto and Saga; additionally included are many images of church services in progress plus several family portraits of church members. While Christianity began to spread when Japan phased out its isolationist policies in the 1850s Protestant evangilization in particular slowed under the military government of the Showa period the early years of which are covered by this album.These anti-Western trends were closely tied to the patriotic fervor that culminated in WWII. An absorbing visual archive of a prospering Protestant community and of American missionary activity in Imperial Japan. hardcover books

Sent by Mr & Mrs A Mikucki from Chicago to Private First Class Walter Mikucki at the Osaka Yodogawa Bunsho POW Camp in JapanBiblio.com

Returned mail sent to a World War II Marine who was captured on Corregidor and died in a Japanese prison camp

19450088251945. Very good. Envelope only no letter. The envelope was addressed to Private First Class Walter Mikucki at the Osaka Yodogawa Bunsho POW Camp in Japan. It has a typed "Prisoner of War Postage Free" free frank in the upper right corner and has received a Chicago "War Savings machine postmark dated Jan 13 1944. The envelope was opened by a U.S. censor and resealed using censor tape annotated "Examined by 6587." The address was subsequently obliterated with a red cross and black bands using grease pencil or crayon. It has a circular handstamp in the lower right corner dated Nov 20 1945 with text that appears to read "LIBERATED HQ. USMC. WASH. D.C." There is a USMC "pointing finger" return-to-sender hand stamp that point to the return address. Pfc. Mikucki was a member of the 4th Marine Regiment when as war clouds rumbled in the Pacific it was sent from China to Corregidor to defend Manila Bay in the Philippines. Shortly after its arrival Japan launched its infamous sneak attack on Pearl Harbor and allied bases throughout the Pacific. Corregidor was bombed continuously from late December 1941 until May 5 1942 when an overwhelming force of Japanese soldiers landed on the island. After tanks were brought ashore the following day Lt. Gen. Jonathan Wainwright realized defeat was imminent and surrendered fearing the thousand or so wounded men and bedraggled defenders would be annihilated. Although most of the 4th Marine Regiment had been killed the remaining men were transported to prison camps in Japan. The Yodogawa Bunsho Camp near Osaka was one of the smallest Japanese prisoner of war camps and records in the National Archives identify only 12 prisoners that were known to have been held there. Pfc. Mikucki's name is not on that list. Other records show that Mikucki may also have been imprisoned at various times at the Itchioke Chikko and Umeda Bunsho camps. He died from unknown causes on March 11 1943. Clearly this information was not provided by the Japanese to the Red Cross as Mikucki's parents sent this letter ten months later. Examples of mail sent to American prisoners held in Japan are very scarce and this example may be unique for at the time of this listing I find no mention in philatelic or ephemera auction records in sale listings or institutional holdings of other returned mail for Corregidor Marines who died in Japanese prisoner of war camps . Also there is no mention of anything similar in Gruenzner's Postal History of pf American POWs.
