1933. Interesting documentation of the 1933 Round-the-world 'goodwill' trip by the Kreuzer Köln. There are ca 64 original, period photographs of the trip taken by a sailor and include several shots each of Guam, Japan, Ceylon, Fiji, Australia, etc. and other Asian/Pacific rim destinations. Some of the most interesting are the Guam natives/buildings and the Fiji natives, particuarly in war dress. Some (but not all) of the pictures are annotated on the reverse, and many have the imprint of the Wilhelmshaven (German Navy port city) drugstore where they were developed. A somewhat poetic description of each port of call was typewritten and photographed to document the collection. Condition is perfect to faulty.
For this lot an additional 7% for Import Expenses (Taxes) will be charged.
