LONDON, England - Photo of Japanese sailor Sentaro, which was taken in 1851 or 1852 in San Francisco and is one of the earliest photographs of a Japanese person, will be auctioned by Christie's in London on May 11.

The crew were rescued by an American ship two months later and taken to San Francisco, where they remained for nearly a year.
