Handed down in the family of Nettie Lorene Rupert, (b. 1882, Ohio) who lived in Japan from 1913 to 1930 as teacher and missionary, deeply involved with the Chinese (and to a lesser extent, the Korean) population of Kobe as well as the Japanese. She traveled widely, and, as an educator and, clearly, a woman of lively intelligence and vast curiosity, took many notes. This lot comprises her postcards, brochures and photographs from her travels in Egypt, India, Turkey, Palestine, and Syria . Many are still in sealed envelopes. All are are in very good to near-mint condition. Many have notes on the backs or on the envelopes, with information about the place represented.
