Nogawa Bronze Manufactory
SOLD November 2005 |
Hand-colored Japanese albumen print ca. 1885, titled in the negative "N. NOGAWA. Manufacturer of BRONZE WARE / No. 22, Shijo Otabichio / Kioto Japan". Mounted on (half) period album page. Print size 7.75 x 10.25 inches (20x26 cm).
This appears to have be partially an advertisement for the Nogawa firm. A wonderfully rich and completely unfaded print. There are some scattered white specks in the print from flaws in the negative.
