Catalogue Note
PROPAGANDA ALBUM, showing idyllic scenes from the 'puppet state' Manchukuo (1932-1945). "Manchuokuo is now equipped with everything necessary to be called a modern country. To-day it is evident that strong desire for peace and order is awakening among many countries. United in close friendship with Germany, Italy and Spain under General Franco, Manchoukuo is constantly working under the "Golden Flag of Co-operation" to bring about the realization of peace of the world" (Foreword).
