An album containing 24 vintage photographs of Japan

[Japan, Unknown Publisher, circa 1880s].

A leporello of 24 albumen paper photographs (each approximately 90 × 140 mm), mounted on both sides of card leaves bound in brocade-covered thick bevel-edged boards (120 × 180 mm).

Brocade lightly worn at some corners; leaves slightly cockled; minor silverfish damage to the surface of the pastedowns and the two adjacent pages, affecting the top portion of the two photographs mounted on them; for the rest, the condition is excellent.

The images include views of villages, towns and shrines, with occasional mountain scenes (Mount Fuji makes a cameo appearance). Only one image is captioned in the negative ('Temple at [illegible]'). We have handled hand-coloured examples of albums of this nature, and we have to say these uncoloured plates are much to be preferred.
