Cabinet Card of Henry Scott taken in Yokohama by Tamotsu Enami
[Japan] Cabinet card photograph of Harry T. Scott, coxswain of the USS Oregon. The ship was a battleship of the United States navy that served on the Asiatic Station from around 1900-1906.

Tamotsu Enami (aka Nobukuni) was born in Tokyo in 1859 and studied photgrapher under Ogawa Kazumasa. Enami became a popular photographer and his son took over the studio when Enami died in 1929.
