Antique Photo / Teacher & Students / Japanese / Dated 1911

Description

IMPORTANT NOTE:
We are able to ship to most countries in Europe, Asia, Oceania, and North America. Due to the pandemic, however, there are still some countries in Europe and elsewhere that we cannot ship to, and so those countries remain blocked.
Please also note that tracking is available to most countries in Asia and Europe (Japan Post’s fee is an additional US.50 per parcel), but not yet to North America and Oceania.
This Japanese photo of a woman and a group of young men is dated on its tissue (not shown), as having been taken in Meiji 44 (1911), and was shot by Ouchi photo studio of Tamachi, Tokyo City. The rest of the inscription is lengthy and written in very fancy cursive, so we can figure out virtually none of it, but it appears to give the names of the people depicted as well as a description of the occasion. Our guess is that the woman in the center is a teacher of the young men.
This image is in basically good condition. There are no tears or significant scratches, but there are a few smudges and a few age-spots. The detail is good but the focus softens a little under magnification. The tones in the close-up sample scan are fairly close to those of the actual image.
The matting has some smudges and wear at the edges and corners, and it has become detached from the folio cover and tissue (which is also detached). The folio cover and tissue have some smudges, some creases, and wear with some damage at the edges and corners.

General Note about Shipping:
Unless otherwise indicated, we ship all of our items via Standard Air Mail. Nonetheless, we are always happy to change shipping methods if faster (and thus more expensive) or cheaper (and thus slower) shipping is desired. The shipping options available are (from fastest and most expensive to slowest and least expensive): EMS, Air Mail, SAL (economy airmail), Surface.
Registered mail with tracking is also available for an additional US.50 above the standard Air Mail shipping cost stated in the description.
We are glad to combine multiple items for shipping, and of course will discount some of the postage charges for each item after the first one. Please note that the shipping discount is not large for heavy items, but for small, light things we will discount the shipping charges by 40-100 percent, depending on how heavy it is and how it needs to be packed.
We ship at least once and very often twice a week, and so most of the time items will be in the mail within no more than 10 business days after we have received payment. We also always send a brief note informing buyers when their items have shipped.
