The Japanese hand-colored albumen photographs you see here are just a few in a series available on the Library's Digital Gallery and in the Library's photography collection. The photos, roughly 110 in all, date from the 1890's until the first decade of the 20th century, and include images of Japanese city and landscapes, gardens, shops, and the rituals of every day life.
