AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Item Description
A rare and historically significant collection of 8 antique Japanese postcards (ehagaki) depicting Vladivostok (浦塩斯徳), dating from the pre-war era (early 20th century). These postcards offer a fascinating visual record of the Russian Far Eastern port city during a pivotal period in Russo-Japanese relations, coinciding with the era of the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905).
The set includes panoramic views and various scenes of Vladivostok, capturing the city's distinctive architecture, harbor, and urban landscape as it appeared over a century ago. Printed with the characteristic coloring and typography of Meiji/Taisho-era Japanese postcards, each card measures 9 × 14 cm — the standard size of the period.
All 8 cards are unused and unwritten, retaining their original condition with crisp imagery. This is an exceptional opportunity for collectors of Russo-Japanese history, Meiji-era ephemera, or antique postal history.
