(Old Prints, 19th Century Prints, Scrap Books, Japan, Albumen Photographs, Geisha, Sedan Chair, Fishing Boats, Tourism, Yokohama, Tokyo, Gardens).
Issued c. 1880-90, United States by Various.
Lot x 8 nineteenth century albumen photographs mounted on acidic scrapbook paper long ago. Some images with original hand color. Colorful advertising scraps and cards on rear (please see photos).
The paper is now brittle and edge chipped, photos affixed long ago and now showing some surface wrinkling. On the reverse of the sheets are affixed approx. 30 color lithographed trade cards and decorative shaped scraps (some are shown).
Lot remains a nice looking example with a pleasing age patina. Any age flaws mostly minor and easy to overlook or forgive.
