満州事変記念絵葉書 (Commemorative picture postcards of the Manchurian Incident)
ジャスティン・アウケマ著
「満州事変記念絵葉書」と題する少年倶楽部出版の絵葉書である（鈴木御水・画）。表紙に「三月号 付録」とあり、雑誌『少年倶楽部』（出版年不明）の三月号に付録として付いていたことがわかる。また満州事変は1931年に起きたことから、1931年以降に出版された『少年倶楽部』の付録であったと考えられる。それに、1937年以降日本では人々の注目が日中戦争へ移ったことから、本葉書セットは1932年〜1937年の間に出されたものであると予想できる。

This
is a series of postcards published by Shonen Kurabu and drawn by Suzuki Gyosui
titled “Manshū jihen kinen ehagaki” (Commemorative picture postcards of the
Manchurian Incident). The postcards were published as a supplement to an
undated March edition of the of the magazine Shonen Kurabu. Since the Manchurian Incident occurred in 1931, it
is possible to conclude that the postcards, as a commemorative set, were
published sometime after this. After 1937, most attention in Japan shifted to
the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-45). Therefore, it is likely that this set
of postcards was published sometime between 1932-1937.
