China (Manchukuo / Japan): South Manchuria Railway Company advertising poster, c. 1930
The South Manchuria Railway was built as a part of the Chinese Eastern Railway in 1898-1903 by Imperial Russia according to the Russian-Chinese convention and the Convention of Peking 1860. The South Manchuria Railway Company (??--µ║ÇÕÀ×Úëä"µá¬Õ╝Åõ╝Üþñ¥/??--µ║ǵ┤▓Úëä"µá¬Õ╝Åõ╝Üþñ¥ Minami Mansh┼½ Tetsud┼ì Kabushiki-gaisha, or µ║ÇÚëä Mantetsu) (Chinese: ??--µ╗í"ÞÀ»´╝ë was a company founded in the Empire of Japan in 1906, taken over after the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905), and operated within China in the Japanese-controlled South Manchuria Railway Zone. The railway itself ran from Lushun Port at the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula to Harbin, where it connected to the Chinese Eastern Railway. In 1945, the Soviet Union invaded and liberated the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo. Rolling stock and moveable equipment was looted, and taken back to the Soviet Union, some of which was returned when the Chinese Communist government came into power. The South Manchuria Railway Company or Mantetsu was dissolved by order of the American occupation authorities in occupied Japan

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vintage advertising poster from the South Manchuria Railway Company in China, dating back to around 1930. The South Manchuria Railway was initially constructed as part of the Chinese Eastern Railway by Imperial Russia between 1898 and 1903, following agreements with both Russia and China. However, after the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905), this railway company came under Japanese control and operated within the Japanese-controlled South Manchuria Railway Zone. The railway itself spanned from Lushun Port in southern Liaodong Peninsula to Harbin, where it connected with the Chinese Eastern Railway. This poster is a testament to the influence of Japan during that era and highlights their efforts to promote travel on this significant transportation route. Unfortunately, in 1945, when the Soviet Union invaded and liberated Manchukuo (a puppet state established by Japan), much of the rolling stock and movable equipment belonging to Mantetsu was looted and taken back to Soviet territory. Some items were eventually returned when power shifted to the Chinese Communist government. It's important to note that while this print captures an intriguing piece of history related to Mantetsu, it does not imply any commercial use or endorsement by Pictures From History/Universal Images Group (UIG).
