Chinese Political Prisoner Photograph Collection, 1924-1946, EAL.2016.01, ULS Area Studies, University of Pittsburgh
History
Based on the physical condition and handwriting on the back of the photographs, the photos were taken between 1924 and 1946. It is believed that the men depicted were political prisoners from the French concession in Shanghai. During the 1930's and 1940's the Kuomintang (KMT) and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) experienced a time of collaboration, split, and conflict.
