Incredible photo album includes original images from the 1920-21 tour of Japan featuring American baseball players. Album is 9.5x6.5", is string-bound, and contains seven images from the tour, each wonderfully identified. A highlight comes on the very first page, where an 11x4" picture has been (unfortunately) folded in half; IDd as the Naruo Ground in Osaka with a December 5, 1920 date; also written on the photo is that this would later become the Worlds Fair Grounds. Also included are three separate photos - one from a masquerade with some guests in blackface - each nicely identified in typewriting on the back. Photos range from VG-EX, an amazing historical journey.
