Description: Postcard: Admiral Sperry, Geisha performers, Yokohama, Great White Fleet, 1908. From Collector's Journal, Charles Bush:After making numerous port calls in Australia, the fleet headed for Japan. ... The visit to Japan marked the high point of the Great White Fleet’s trip. During the visit to Japan, Admiral Sperry’s diplomacy and professionalism as a naval officer earned him the admiration of many high-ranking Japanese officials, including the Emperor himself. Sperry’s efforts on behalf of the United States went a long way in easing the tensions between the two nations. Japan, for her part, could not seem to do enough to welcome America’s sailors and marines. From the day the Fleet made port in Yokohama, there was a series of celebrations, balls, and parties to honor the American visitors... Very good condition with light edge and corner wear. Please see images for condition.
