VON STILLFRIED, BARON RAIMUND & ANDERSON, HERMANN (active 1877-1885)
Japanese album containing 50 photographs of tokyo, homura, enoshima, tokaido, hakone, fusiyama, hamagoten, kamakura, odji, shiba and other exotic locales. Artfully hand-colored albumen prints, 3 3/4x11 inches (22.2x27.9 cm.), each with a caption and inventory number in the negative. Oblong folio, decorative wood covers, detached. Circa 1880

  • Notes: A selective series of historic and picturesque views, each delicately hand-colored, that show different areas throughout Japan in the period shortly after the country was opened to the west. Although there are beautiful scenes of a majestic Mt. Fuji as well as other topographic views, most of the photographers's prints feature carefully-placed figures who are stoically posing before the camera.
  • Condition: All items are offered for sale subject to Swann Galleries' standard terms and conditions of sale, which are published in our catalogues.
