The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 1
Compiled by an American serviceman during the Allied occupation of Japan, these album pages and press photographs document the aftermath of the atomic bombings, with ruined city blocks, medical records of burn injuries, and official caption cards naming survivors. Troopship crossings, B-29 crews, and annotated target views frame the campaign that preceded them, making this a rare firsthand record of the war's final chapter.
