Lafayette College of Pennsylvania has put online its collection of Gerald Warner’s photos and postcards of Taiwan in the late 1930s. Warner was the U.S. consul in Taipei from 1937 through 1941.
The scans are high resolution, so most images can be enlarged.
found via Kerim Friedman’s Keywords.
Thanks for posting that, cranky laowai.
A very interesting link.
What a find!
There are tons and tons of photos there that I haven’t seen before. Fantastic!
Indeed, great find. I’ll have to take another look later. Piles of great old shots there.
