572pp. Photographically reproduced technical report distributed by the Clearinghouse for Federal Scientific and Technical Information for research library circulation. Text very clean and sound, original paper upper cover with a handwritten title on cover and spine and contractor code written in ink, worn and a little torn at the staples, lacks lower cover but otherwise complete. Clearinghouse card with the name and address of the University of Sydney employee who originally ordered it together with other details loosely inserted. A firm copy. Originally issued by the US Department of Commerce/ National Bureau of Standards. A US translation, produced for America's Joint Publications Research Service, of the "Korea Central Yearbook" (Choson Chungang Nyongnam), the official North Korean Yearbook for 1961. One of a series of yearbooks published annually since 1949 by the [North] Korean Central News Agency, this volume covers policy developments, North Korea's geography and population, weather, economic developments, trade, economic cooperation (particularly with the USSR), transport and commmunications, education, health, sports, the arts, publications and broadcasting, major events of the year, and North Korea's engagement with international organizations. There are also extensive negative assessmentss of economic and social developments in South Korea. The yearbook's 570 pages are filled with the North Korean government's upbeat assessments of the wonders of its own nation's achievements, but the volume is, nonetheless, a fascinating window into North Korean at a crucial point in its history. In 1961, North Korea was in the midst of the "Chollima Movement" - a plan which aimed to fast-track industrialisation - and the country had just completed its first five-year economic plan. It had also recently begun a program of encouraging the large-scale "repatriation" of ethnic Koreans from Japan, and the report includes a section entitled "The Problem of Koreans Residing in Japan", which details North Korean support for Korean schools in Japan, negotiations over the extension of the "repatriation" movement, and efforts to remedy the "materialistic pholosophy" of Koreans who had relocated from Japan to North Korea. Despite the government's emphasis on economic autarchy, North Korea was also cautiously expanding links to the outside world, and the yearbook mentions the signing of trade agreements with non-governmental agencies in Japan, India, Australia and other countries. The section on the arts provides rich detail on North Korea's promotion of socialist realism and works depicting the "fervent patriotism and indominitable spirit of the revolutionary fighters". The yearbook details the successful songs, plays, musical dramas and films of the year, and the expansion of artistic circles in workplaces, schools etc. One element of the five year plan had been the promotion of athletics contests, and the outcomes of this promotion program are discussed in the yearbook, but it is interesting to note that the mass games, which were later to become a cantral feature of North Korean perfomance art, were only in their infancy, and just receive a brief mention. The volume is an exceptionally rich and valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of often impenetrable North Korean state.…

Printed fabric pennant promoting Radio Pyongyang, North Korea?s official broadcasting service. The image shows a stylised monument of two figures, possibly symbolising industry and broadcasting, with a laurel motif and radio waves under a red sky. Text in both Korean and English. Radio Pyongyang. ??? ??? translates directly as Pyongyang Broadcasting. Text in Korean and English. 23.5 height x 11cm at top edge. A scarce example of early North Korean visual propaganda. Radio Pyongyang was founded in October 1945, and inaugurated programming with a live broadcast of Kim Il Sung's victory speech when he returned to Pyongyang at the end of WWII. The image on this pennant features a statue of two figures (a worker and a peasant woman carrying a sheaf of rice) riding the mythical horse Chollima, symbolising speed, strength and the spirit of the North Korean people. The Chollima movement, which began in 1956, encouraged citizens to achieve extraordinary production and labour targets, indicated by the sheaf of wheat symbolic of agricultural abundance. Radio Pyongyang helped to disseminaate the ideals of the Chollima movement and this pennant probably dates from after the Chollima Monument was unveiled in 1961. Provenance: Bought in China by a western collector in the late 20th century. …

Ink on blue silk, 696 x 530 mm. Stored in custom-made half morocco case. Formal valedictory address to General Prokofy Logvinovich Romanenko (1897-1949): "Together with the Soviet heroic army, with your blood and your lives, you brought freedom to Korea. You made the Japanese invaders flee, made the enemies run and breathed happy, free, and new life into our nation. In the shortest time North Korea has destroyed the remains of the Japanese imperialistic forces. The People's Committee has became the true power of the people. Under its leadership we victoriously undertake all democratic changes. As a result we shall create such conditions that the people will live freely and happily in the Democratic Republic. Therefore, the people of Korea will never forget your work and your effort. Today we bid you farewell with the warmest gratitude. All the people of Korea will unite around the Committee and promise to fight to the end until the Democratic Republic is formed. We ask you to provide help in the future as well. We wish you health for the years to come. 13/8/1947. The chair of the People's Committee of North Korea, Kim Il-sung" (transl.). - Folded. Includes a roughly contemporary Russian translation (pencil on ruled paper, 3 pp., oblong 8vo). - General Romanenko, one of the key Soviet military leaders of the Second World War, had been assigned to the East Siberian Military Region in 1945. He was one of the official Soviet liaisons with the temporary government of North Korea (the "People's Committee"), organised in 1946. Recently returned from the USSR in February 1946, Kim Il-sung was appointed chairman of the Committee, marking the beginning of his ascent to power. Romanenko was generally supportive of Kim's efforts, in line with Soviet official policy: in 1946 he allowed 500 ethnically Korean Soviet citizens to enter North Korea, at Kim's request. Most of them were administrative specialists or engineers. - Provenance: by descent to Koloss Prokofievich Romanenko (b. 1925), the son of Prokofy Romanenko; sold to a Russian private collection; acquired from the collector's heirs. Includes a copy of the previous owner's statement of acquisition.…

Oblong folio (ca. 25 x 28 cm) album covered with red silk fabric. 85 mounted original photos (10,5 x 14,5 and 14,5 x 21 cm), each with Russian inscription glued underneath. Cover rubbed and bumped, slightly soiled. Very interesting documentary about the first two years of the Korean War from a North Korean perspective. The first photo is a close-up of the leader Kim Il-sung (1912-94), who can be seen in another scene with reporting soldiers. Also portrayed are various war heroes (Kim Gi-U, Han Nam-Su and the pilot Kim Gi-Ok) and officers, including two photographs of the commander of the 6th Division, Pang Ho San (portrait; in the command post with officer's staff) as well as honours and awards for soldiers. Also on display are airplanes, tanks and cannons of the Korean People's Army, as well as scenes from war missions with bomb smoke, corpses and debris fields, bombed-out factories, shot-down American airplanes and captured tanks, the capture of American soldiers and prisoners of war, operations in the field hospital, a bombed-out street and a demonstration in Pyongyang and the reception of a Polish delegation. - The quality, thematic selection and careful arrangement of the photographs show that a professional or at least an experienced photographer was at work here. The exclusivity of many representations, to which an ordinary photographer would not have had access, suggests that the photographer must have been officially accredited: most likely it was a Russian war correspondent or press officer who produced the documentation on behalf of the Russian government or army. This album is a one-off production or may have been produced in small quantities for selected recipients. - While the Korean War is well documented from an American and Western perspective by numerous published and private photographs, original photographs from the opposite perspective are hardly to be found. Very rare.…
