" Tokyo, Imperial Government Railways, s.d. ( ca. 1910), oblong album, 27 x 37 cm, containing 2 maps and 50 colour-tinted collotype photographic plates. Bound in a modified Japanese-style album with silk covered boards. The embroidered silk boards show on the front cover the Fuji San with the title in red lettering and on the forefront a horseman with his servants. The album is kept together with a purple silk ribbon, with decorated endpapers, most of the loosely inserted serpents of very light japanese paper are present. All edges gilt. Kept in a heavy purposely made box covered with black leather. Finely preserved album with only some faint dustsoiling of the lighter silk parts of the cover, interior stainless, box with very minor traces of use. A fine specimen of an early travel souvenir of Japan made for the English speaking visitors by the foremost Japanese photographer Ogawa (1860 - 1929). The album was several times reprinted in less luxurious editions ; not all plates coloured , with plainer Western Style bindings. This is a scarce and beautiful item. (Japan, views , photography , early travel )."
