ill. OPappband. / Hardcover. 1. Aufl. Photographs taken in Japan between the late Edo period and early Meiji period that found their way overseas played a major role in forming Westerners' image of Japan. Among these collections, the pictures gathered by the Swiss Diplomat Aimé Humbert (18191900) in the 1860s were crucial in building lasting representations of the island nation: many of these, mainly collected in 1863/64 during a sojourn in Yokohama and Edo, were used as sources for the well-known and largely distributed engravings of his famous book Le Japon illustré, published in Paris in 1870. Belonging to the collection of the MEN, these beautiful and well-preserved photographs are published here for the first time. Presented by Japanese and Swiss scholars before the narrative backdrop of their acquisition and application by foreigners, they offer a striking view on a lost world.
