Investigation Report on the Commercial Port of Vladivostok, Volume 10: South Manchuria Railway, General Affairs Department, Research Section, 1921
Investigation Report on the Commercial Port of Vladivostok — Volume 10, 1921
A volume of the investigation report on the commercial port of Vladivostok, the tenth in the series, prepared by the Research Section of the General Affairs Department of the South Manchuria Railway and dated 1921. Compiled in the years immediately following the upheavals on Russia's Pacific seaboard, the report sets out a detailed institutional survey of the great Far Eastern port — its harbour, trade, and commercial standing — at a moment when its future was of acute strategic and economic interest.
The South Manchuria Railway's research apparatus was among the most thorough intelligence-gathering operations of its day, and its investigation reports were produced for restricted institutional use rather than general circulation. Individual volumes survive only sparingly, and a primary survey of Vladivostok issued from this source is a specific and uncommon document.
As an economic-geographical source on the commercial port and its place in the trade of the Northeast Pacific, it is of clear value to historians of the South Manchuria Railway sphere, of Russo-Japanese commercial relations, and of Northeast Asian maritime history.
A genuine institutional report of the period, well suited to a serious collection of Manchuria and Northeast Asian historical materials.
Offered by KT Vintage, drawing on decades of trusted international sales to discerning collectors and institutions across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Oceania.
