About This Item
Kobe: Tamamura Photographic Studio / T. Takagi, N.d. (ca 1910). Oblong octavo (18cm x 26cm). Original silk-covered boards, bouond with red silk cord; 19 colored collotype plates. Gift inscription from an N.L. Thacker on verso of title page, dated 1914; child's ownership inscription on verso of final plate ("Ermy Tharp, Novato, Cal" dated 1936). Rubbing and wear to board edges; internally clean and sound - a Very Good copy, with all plates present. An attractive Meiji Era souvenir album with subtly hand-tinted collotype plates depicting a traditional Japanese wedding ceremony. One of several editions produced between 1906 and 1920; per the excellent bibliography of Tamamura's souvenir albums at , ours would appear to be the Third Edition of 1910.
