    Description

    This antique postcard shows "The Full View Of The New Quarters Of Antung City."
    I'm still trying to fully appreciate the exact location depicted on this postcard. My understanding is that Antung Province was created in 1934 from the Japanese-controlled empire of Manchukuo in what is northeast China today. Later in 1939 Antung Province subdivided into two parts, which added Tonghua Province. The postcard identifies the location as "Antung City," but this is a term that confuses me-- I cannot find other references to "Antung City." I've read that the capital of the Antung Province was a city named Tonghua-- perhaps the pictured city on the postcard could be Tongua when it was a part of the Antung Province?
    For the buyer, I'll send your postcard free of charge with standard shipping within the United States. If you want certified mail services (includes tracking), however, you can add .00 to your purchase and then I'll be happy to arrange that-- just please send me a message and alert me to your wish for this arrangement.
    Thanks for considering this keepsake.
