‎A beautiful Japanese family photograph album ‎

‎Japan S.P. C1917 Un magnifique album de photos de famille japonais. Il contient 38 photographies (principalement des tirages à la gélatine d'argent, dont 4 CDV et quelques clichés sépia) ainsi que cinq cartes postales photographiques. La particularité de cet album réside dans le fait que, bien qu'il retrace principalement l'histoire d'une même famille japonaise (de 1905 à 1917 environ), les cartes postales qui y sont collées comportent des annotations en français et font référence au Vietnam et à la Birmanie. Les photographies mettent souvent l'accent sur les tenues traditionnelles des femmes, et l'on peut y observer la transition du kimono vers la femme moderne en ville. L'album contient également deux coupures de presse en français, l'une sur la mode japonaise et l'autre sur les coupes de cheveux japonaises. Notre photo préférée est celle d'un vieil homme à l'air plutôt renfrogné, vêtu d'un costume traditionnel. L'album mesure 23 cm x 16 cm. Sur la couverture figure une carte postale en couleur représentant une femme feuilletant un album photo. Un morceau de tissu de kimono est également collé sur la couverture. L'album est désormais recouvert d'un film plastique protecteur. Les photos sont de tailles variées. Bon nombre d'entre elles sont des clichés pris en studio, représentant des personnes seules ou la famille. Un très bel exemple du genre.‎

‎A beautiful Japanese family photograph album. Contains 38 photographs (mainly silver gelatin including 4 CDV's and a couple of sepia) and five photograph postcards. The curious feature of this album, is that although it primarily follows the same Japanese family (from Circa 1905-1917) the postcards that are tipped in have annotations in French, and include Vietnam and Burma. A lot of the focus of the photographs is on the traditional dress of the women, and you can see the transition from the kimono through to the modern woman about town. There are also two newspaper cuttings in French, one on Japanese fashions and one on Japanese haircuts. Our personal favourite photograph is a rather grumpy looking old man in traditional costume. He is sitting for a formal celebration of longevity. On his chest are kanji characters: ??? meaning "86 years old" and to his side is a figurine which celebrates 86 years of life. The birthday boy doesn't look terribly pleased with the idea! The album is 23cm x 16cm. To the front cover is a colour photo postcard of a woman leafing through a photograph album. An annotation in French is dated 1917. "Cochinchin?, Saïgon, le 25 avril 1917" There is also a piece of kimono material tipped onto the cover. The album is now covered in protective plastic. There photographs vary in size. Quite a few are studio shots of individuals and the family. A lovely example of the genre. .‎
