[Album of Exquisite Hand-Colored Photographs Depicting Trip to Japan]
- Japan , 1928
Japan, 1928. Very good. 13” x 9¼”. Silk over thick boards; accordion style binding. 16 leaves with 55 photographs and 12 postcards glued down. Most photos measure either 6” x 3¾” or 3” x 4”, all are hand-colored and nearly all are captioned. Album very good with moderate wear, some staining and small patches of loss of cloth; lightly toned leaves which occasionally show foxing; photos generally very good plus or better.
This is a lovely album documenting an unknown woman's trip to Japan where she traveled to Kobe Harbor, Nikko, Kyoto, Miyajima and several other locales.
It has a series of gorgeous garden scenes, a great shot of itinerant priests asking for donations, two amazing shots of workers in rural areas and spectacular scenery. There are several great street scenes, many show local Japanese citizens and apparently there is also one photo from China, as the compiler can be seen in a rickshaw with the caption “Peking.”
Simply stunning.
