[ANNOTATED VERNACULAR PHOTOGRAPH ALBUM DOCUMENTING AN AMERICAN ARMY OFFICER'S TRAVELS IN KOREA, JAPAN, WASHINGTON, D.C., AND GERMANY DURING THE EISENHOWER YEARS, INCLUDING IMAGES OF NUMEROUS KOREAN ... An eclectic collection of personal photographs taken by an American officer while serving in Korea, Japan, and Germany in the years after the Korean War. The compiler appears to be a man identified in several pictures as Father McNulty, perhaps a chaplain or otherwise serving in the Army in some religious capacity. McNulty's photographs begin in Pusan, Korea in 1957, where he or an associate photograph numerous Korean children and other locals. Some of the captions read, "Bishop John Choi, the Vicariate of Pusan," the "Pusan Poor," and a "Leper Colony." Other images depict a tailor's shop in Pusan, numerous buildings in Seoul, several of a reception for President Eisenhower on June 20, 1960 at the Kimpo Airfield outside Seoul (where two different officers pose with Hollywood film legend George O'Brien); and other scenes. McNulty appears in numerous photographs with Korean schoolgirls, whom he or the photographer identifies by name in the captions; the same goes for several images of American and Korean religious figures as part of the "Pusan Area Command." One of the events pictured includes several images from the Holy Name Breakfast in Pusan in February 1960. Some of the other sites pictured in Seoul include St. Paul's Cathedral, President Syngman Rhee's Statue, the Seoul Cap
