- Lot Description
League of Nations Commission of Inquiry in Manchuria Album, South Manchuria Railway, May 1932. Approximately forty-seven pages, the front page with presentation card "With the Compliments of Count Yasuya Uchida, President, South Manchuria Railway Company," the album detailing the people, places and route taken by investigators collecting data connected to fact-finding mission connected to the annexation of Manchuria by Japan in 1931, the album contains maps, schedules, approximately ninety-four photographs and forty pages of newspaper clippings, bound in silk covered boards with gilt lettering, 16 x 12 in.
Note: On September 18, 1931 an officer of the 29th Japanese Infantry Regiment set off an explosive near a railway line owned by Japan's South Manchuria Railway near Mukden. Under the pretext that the explosion was the action of nearby Chinese dissidents, the Japanese army used the event to launch an invasion that led to the occupation of Manchuria. The event was investigated by a five-member commission led by British politician the Earl of Lytton. The findings of the "Lytton Commission" ultimately led to Japan's withdrawal from the League of Nations.Condition
