Scope and Contents:
Collage of images produced by studeo of Tamamura Kozaburo of photographs by both Felice Beato and Baron Raimund von Stillfried. These images include, clockwise from upper left corner, two Buddhist priests, a nobleman, two child acrobats (von Stillfried), a woman in winter dress with umbrella, a female musician with shamisen, an officer with sword, and a couple with umbrella. A pine branch fills the upper right corner, and printed scenes of shrubbery accompany some of the images.
Biographical / Historical:
Felice Beato was born in Venice around 1825. During his lifetime, he accompanied the British troops in India, recording images of the Indian Mutiny in 1857, and the Franco-British troops in China to cover the end of the Second Opium War in 1859. With his friend Charles Wirgman, Beato opened a photography studio in Yokohama, Japan in the early 1860s, and produced many images of the Japanese and their lifestyle, as interpreted by the Westerners. Selling his studio to Baron von Stillfried in 1877, Beato eventually died in Burma around 1908.
Baron von Stillfried was an Austrian noble who arrived in Japan in 1868. In 1871, von Stillfried opened a photo studio in Yokohama under the name, Messrs. Stillfried & Co. In 1877, in partnership with Hermann Anderson, von Stillfried bought Felice Beato's studio and negatives, and continued to take photographs of Japanese people. He eventually left Japan for Hong Kong in 1881.

In 1888, he established Japan's first collotype printing business, and in the following year he formed the Nihon Shashin-kai (Japanese Photographic Association) with Tokyo Imperial University professor William Burton.
