Vintage world map by Japanese mapper Nagakubo Sekisui, created in 1850…
Notice how huge Antarctica was portrayed back then; global warming lol?

City of Kuala Lumpur in 1961. Video by Michael Rogge, (former) banker and cinematographer from Netherlands who was stationed in Asia in 1950s…
There’s a huge video collection of Rogge during his stay in Japan and Hong Kong from 1949 to 1961, which I absolutely adore… it’s a valuable cultural heritage imo. You can check all his works on his Youtube channel.
