Who's Who of Manchuria — Second Edition, 1940
The second edition of the Who's Who of Manchuria, a biographical register of the notable figures of the region, published in 1940. Directories of this kind assembled the names, positions, and particulars of the administrators, businessmen, and public figures of Manchukuo — a contemporary roll of the people who staffed and shaped the Northeast at the close of the 1930s.
Biographical registers are among the most useful of primary sources for the social and institutional history of a place and period, mapping the networks of office and enterprise as they stood at a fixed moment. As a record of who held position and standing in Manchuria in 1940, this second edition is a specific reference of real value to researchers of the region's administrative and commercial elite.
A genuine documentary register 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.
