China: Late 1930s The Dawn of Peace in East Asia - The Vestiges of China Emergency at Nanking (Nanjing) Japanese military mail postcard set of 16 with original cover. The set depicts the scenes of Nanking City right after it fell into Japan's hand in Dec 1938, as Nanking was then capital of China & this set of postcards photographing this event was of significant propaganda value.
