History
English term or phrase: legation
Tengo este pie de foto: South Korea, American Legation secretary and staff.

Encontré la definición: A legation was the term used in diplomacy to denote a diplomatic representative office lower than an embassy. The distinction between a legation and embassy was dropped following World War II. All diplomatic representative offices are now designated as embassies or high commissions.

La foto es anterior a la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

De antemano, muchas gracias por todas sus sugerencias.
