This large size, super attractive presentation photo album contains 30 professional quality black & white photos. The album was produced by the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper, and was presented to a Japanese dignitary involved with this Tour. The photos include members of both the Japanese all-star team and the San Francisco Giants. Photo highlights include images of Willie Mays, Orlando Cepeda, Willie McCovey and Juan Marichal. Photo subjects also include Lefty O'Doul and a young Sadaharu Oh and Shigeo Nagashima. The Giants completed the Tour with 11 wins, 4 losses and 1 tie.
This album appears to have never been opened until very recently. It has protective covering over the tassels that bind the album, which may have been how the album was issued. There is some minor darkening around the edges of each page due to aging of the paper, which does not affect any of the photos. The cover and title page are pristine.
