1929 group of seven picture postcards documenting the funeral and reinterment of Dr. Sun Yat-sen (孫中山) in Nanking,

comprising views of the ship transporting Sun’s remains from the north, decorated ceremonial archways, military honor guards, and the special train bearing his portrait; together with several views of the newly completed Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum (中山陵), including its iconic domed tomb and monumental approach stairway. All printed on AZO and other contemporary photographic postcard stock, mostly unused, some with manuscript captions referring to the transport and ceremony. A rare and cohesive visual record of the 1929 state funeral and national mourning for the “Father of the Nation.” Fine to Very Fine.
