Views of Japan
PH1983:0516:001-051
Description:
Felice Beato was one of the first photographers to systematically survey Japan in his 'Photographic Views of Japan with Historical and Descriptive Notes' (1869), containing about one hundred landscapes. This present album does not have a title page but some of the photographs are also found in 'Views of Japan' and another Beato album from the CCA's collection (PH1981:0787:001-093). This present album shows 51 views of Japan in several villages, towns, places and countryside, such as Yokohama, the Tokaido link, Mayonashi, Hakoni, Fusi-Yama, Miyanoshita, Sakawa Nagawa, Gakaiso, Nagasaki, Eiyama, Harra, Omia, Narraiga, Miyanoshita, Tonosawa, Kamakura, Taikeins and Pappenburg. Also shown are peasants, girls, sumotori (wrestlers), northeners, officers, a musician, a doctor and patient, an executioner, firemen, a painter and a priest, etc. Captions with detailed annotations written by Beato's colleagues are pasted on to the facing pages. The photographer Baron Raimund Stillfried who also worked in Japan, acquired the stock and studio of Beato in 1877. A mixture of his own and Beato's work is contained in his subsequent albums, which makes it sometimes difficult to differentiate between a Beato and a Stillfried photograph (cf. Terry Bennett).
