Japanese Street Scenes Complete with 10 hand coloured photos
[Japan] Uncommon work with actual photos affixed to decorative paper mounts. String bound as issued with original title slip. Two photos are titled, 'A Street in the Yoshiwara of Kyoto', but the second image with this title is actually Yokohama. The Yokohama image with some Western store signs visible is also interesting.
Boston. Knight & Millet. ND (c1900).
11 leaves. 15.4 x 21.7cm.
In very good condition. Photos are all very good. They look to have a minor loss of contrast but quite possibly the hand colouring was done to give the photos an almost painting-like appearance. Valentine's Day gift inscription dated 1903 on first blank leaf. nb34090024
