1885 (ca.), cardboard folder book (173x122x1mm) with illuminated photos (48, size 137x91mm) of japanese women single- (18) otherwise group scenes, showing various dressings, professions, bathing, music, go, tea preparation etc.. One photo probably shows the old Nectarine No. 9 bldg. Particular remarkable is a lady dressed in western style with a fruits/plants hat. - Men appear in six pics: group of 8 with "YFB/別手" signboard (Yokohama Fire Brigade/special group) otherwise with women in couple, harvest, riksha (2) and palanquin scene. Some photos affected by wormholes and slight foxing, one top page back broken. Some western numerals are hidden in the photographs, but no photographers sign or mark detected. Fascinating, as is.
