192812860Various locations in Hawaii and Japan 1928. 12 leaves illustrated with 123 mounted sepia-toned photographs many captioned in the image area occasional manuscript captions on the album leaves. Oblong folio. Contemporary pictorial cloth illustrated with various Japanese motifs string tied. Minor wear to cloth. Internally clean. Very good. An attractive and informative vernacular photograph album memorializing the experiences of Protestant missionaries in the Pacific. Protestant missionaries came to Hawaii starting in the 1820s and eventually became quite socially and politically influential. The first Protestant missionaries arrived in Japan in the mid-1840s. They were relegated to treaty ports and prohibited from proselytizing but once these restrictions were lifted they were fairly successful with 300 churches and 34000 converts by 1889. Their main avenue was education and by the 1920s they were well established in this sector. The present album of photographs were taken by an American missionary in Hawaii and Japan in 1927 and 1928. It is not entirely clear whether the photographer did any missionary work in Hawaii or if it was just a stop on the way to Japan; the photos from Hawaii show Honolulu harbor from the deck of the President Madison the "Club House" and Diamond Head.<br /> <br /> The photographs from Japan are more clearly missionary. The photographer was involved in teaching in Kyoto; captions include "Kami Kyoku Bishamon Cho" listed as a theological school in the 1928 Japan Mission Year Book "Japanese Language School" "The Faculty" "Nihongo Faculty" and "St Agnes Ena -- Music." There are two St. Agneses in the Year Book both middle schools one in Tokyo and one in Kyoto. Two photos of an older Japanese man in a clerical collar captioned "Mr Hayakawa" suggest this is the St. Agnes in Kyoto as Mr. K. Hayakawa is listed as the head of that school. Other individuals listed in the Year Book include Sally Rembert Thora Johnson and "Maxine" who is probably Maxine Schannep with the ABCFM. Generally the school shots are exteriors of buildings and people posing outside of them; there are also shots of Christmas trees at St. Agnes the students of "Helen’s Kindergarten" in Koriyama girls in school uniform with deer at Nara Park and several of the nurse's home at St. Luke's Hospital in Tokyo.<br /> <br /> Other photos show life around Kyoto and other cities including Nikko and Fukui. Most of the men are in Western dress while the women and children wear kimono. Two photos of Buddhist monks included in the album were taken by Japanese photographer Kurokawa Suizan; these show a KomusŠin a tengai hat playing the flute and a kasa-hatted monk on the steps of a building. Finally some uncaptioned shots show a procession taking place in front of an audience. Some in the procession carry flags a few are on horseback and a few carry plants on their heads and part of the procession carries a litter.<br /> <br /> Overall the album documents both religious education and everyday life in late 1920s Japan; of particular interest to historians of Protestant missionaries. unknown
1880J6SGPBJ1IXLV1880. With 12 albumen prints ranging in size from ca. 16.5 x 23 cm to 21 x 28 cm. Collection of 12 vintage photographs from the late 19th century showing China Indonesia the Hawaiian Islands California and Egypt. Of the 4 photographs of China 2 show Hong Kong including one possibly by the famous Chinese photographer Lai Fong ca. 1839-1890 showing Queen's Road Central. The two rarest photographs show several of the 7500 imperial examination cubicles in Canton Guangzhou while a photograph by A Chan Ya Zhen shows the famous five-story pagoda on Kun Yam Hill in 1870. The Indonesian island Java can be seen on 3 photographs including one of lake Telaga Warna by the British firm Woodbury & Page based in Batavia Jakarta. Taken further to the west were 3 photographs of Hawaii probably all taken in or near Honolulu. A rare undated photograph of the statue of King Kamehameha was taken probably right after the unveiling ceremony in 1883 as it shows a small wooden fence around the statue which can be seen in an illustration in The Graphic 28 April 1883 but is absent from all later images. Of the 2 final images one by Isaiah West Taber 1830-1912 shows Midway Point in Monterey California and the other by Hippolyte Arnoux fl. 1860-1890 a group of Arabs and camels waiting for the ferry near El Qantara in Egypt. Most of the photographs are worn at the edges with small tears and folds and a few have small holes; one of the images of Hawaii with a waterstain at the lower margin. unknown
1920219786Circa1920s - 1930s. Collection of twenty-six loose photographs and five postcards two in colour. Photograph sizes vary but most are 10 x 14cm a few a bit smaller. The largest photograph measures 17.1 x 27.3cm and while silvered and torn with loss at the lower left corner is a lovely period piece showing a Japanese man driving an early 20th century car and an attractively dressed western-style Japanese woman looking on. In general the photographs show signs of wear some corner tears evidence of removal from albums or silvering but are still a fascinating collection showing people at home at work or on a day out. An interesting collection of photographs and postcards mostly black-and-white with a couple of coloured postcards. They appear to come from the family album of Japanese migrants to Hawaii or California. Most date from the 1920s and 1930s although one postcard was written during a visit to Paris in the 1950s. A few have dates on the back - the oldest being a photo of a smartly-dressed Japanese couple dated 1921 it is difficult to tell whether this was taken in Japan or the USA. <br> <br>Two photographs dated 1929 and 1931 show a Japanese woman with her small daughter - in one image she is shown with an Anglo-European family. There a studio photograph of a Japanese man holding serious-looking photographic equipment suggesting that at least one member of the family was a keen photographer. A particularly interesting shot shows the interior of a shop evidently run by the family selling a wide range of goods from electric fans cooking utensils baskets padlocks and other items. The family seems to have prospered quite well since several photos show outings in their car and a trip to Santa Cruz and the collection also includes a postcard from the famous Hotel Wawona in Yosemite National Park California. Another postwar postcard sent from Paris to the Tsuchiya family in Numazu describes a trip from Japan where the writer apparently stayed with the Tsuchiyas to France via Switzerland. . unknown
