Lushun Institute of Technology: Graduation Commemorative Photographic Album, 1925
Lushun Institute of Technology — Graduation Commemorative Photographic Album, December 1925
A finely produced graduation commemorative album from the Lushun (Ryojun) Institute of Technology, issued in December 1925. Beyond its formal portraits, the album is unusually rich in working views: numerous on-site photographs of the departments of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and mining and metallurgy, capturing laboratories, workshops, and field practice as they actually were.
The volume also preserves sweeping panoramas of the Institute, of the city of Lushun, and of celebrated sights across Manchuria, making it both a record of one of the region's premier technical colleges and a wider visual survey of the period. For historians of engineering education, of the South Manchuria region, and of 1920s institutional photography, it is a documentary source of real depth.
An evocative and substantial album from the Taisho era, of clear appeal to collectors of East Asian historical and photographic materials.
Offered by KT Vintage, drawing on decades of trusted international sales to discerning collectors and institutions across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Oceania.
