An original photograph titled Marines Come Ashore in China to Protect American Lives. ” Other photos in the set mention the American Legation and “Peiping, China, which dates this to 1928 – 1938. In the photo, Marines carrying their rifles and wearing “Montana Peak” hats stride confidently ashore from a landing craft as their warship rides in the background. The scene is well-composed and a lot of detail is visible. The caption is lettered by hand with white ink. The photo is about 9 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ and is mounted on a cardboard card that is about 10 1/2″ x 8″. It is in excellent condition. The photo has been protected by being mounted and then was stored on the card in a binder. It displays really well. A museum-quality piece of China Marine history and a superb addition to any collection. Please see my store for more museum quality artifacts of history.
