Interesting Photograph Album and Accompanying Diary Recording a Trip Made to India via the Pacific 1925-26, Taking in New York, Canada, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Manila, Malaysia and Ceylon. The photograph album begins with views on deck the SS Minnedosa when coming into port at Quebec, moving onto images taken in Montreal and then the sights of New York City at this time. They then appear to travel back through Canada by train, going through the Canadian Rockies. It would appear that they boarded the Empress of Canada and continued their trip onto Japan, arriving in Yokohama. The album has many good clear images of street scenes, local population and architecture in cities such as Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, etc. Album then moves onto Shanghai and China with again many good images taken on the Shanghai river, street scenes in Shanghai including the barbed wire barrier marking the boundary of Foreign Concession in the city. Good images of the Mandarins Summer House in Shanghai including image of the door keeper smoking a large opium pipe. Moving onto Hong Kong, many images taken in the harbour of ships, views of the harbour from above, various street scene images, views from the old city of Kowloon, including image taken inside the gateway to the city and Chinese cemetery. The latter pages in the photograph album show images taken in Manila, Singapore and Penang (Malaysia) before ending with some images taken in Ceylon. The diaries accompanying the photograph are extremely well written and very easy to read, they give clear details of the trip they have undertaken and a note of the nautical miles they have travelled has been documented. During the time in China they comment on the difference they have encountered between Japan and China, “In comparison with Japan where cleanliness is the more general rule, the dirt & smells & untidiness of the native streets appalled us. A large of the population seemed to be living on the river in junks & house boats.” The diary also talks about visiting the Mandarin house which is documented in the photographs in the album, “We were shown another Mandarin’s home which had some specially fine stone dragons on the walls & a curious old bearded custodian with a long Chinese pipe”. They detail the travels to Kowloon city and describe the differences they found between this city and that of Shanghai. With the detailed diaries and the good array of images in the album the trip made by this couple really comes to life. Fascinating insight into a trip made by very few people at this time.
