I am preparing a website investigating war art in the Pacific War. There is a section about the various depictions of the wreckage Kinugawa Maru. There is a black and white version of this image and presumably it was hand coloured. It would appear that the colour version was made for a post card. Can you confirm this and/or provide any more information about the colour image?
