I received this item from my grandmother's estate after her passing. As a child, it had always been my favorite one of hers. It was always just so neat looking and awe inspiring. But shamefully, I literally know nothing about it. If anybody out there can help me, I would be most grateful. My grandmother collected all kinds of artifacts that were centuries old. And as I said, this was always my favorite. Any insight would be much appreciated! Thanks.

I have 29 photos from Shanghai in March of 1927. There are pictures of public executions, China gangs in the streets, US Marines in Shanghai, US Navy in Shanghai, and many more. All of these pictures are in excellent condition, and still in the notebook that they came back to the US in. Each picture has been hand labeled either below or above the photo with its own information.
