Dolls, not documents, carry the story here: this picture shows American dolls packed for Japanese children. It belongs to the late-1920s goodwill exchange, when American children sent thousands of dolls across the Pacific and Japan answered with dolls of its own. Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, sold pictures like this to newspapers, and the record leaves the date unstated, though the subject fits that campaign closely.
