    A vendor in the crowd

    This photograph is from the same series as photographs #4949 and #4951. Judging from the caption, it was probably taken before 1896. It is interesting to see the dress and expressions of the people as well as the street performer with a monkey. This photograph was sold, along with other similar photographs and a stereoscope for viewing, in a paper box set entitled JAPAN THROUGH THE STEREOSCOPE.==Date:1904, Place:Kobe, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐14‐0]

              A woman stands with a round fan in front of the front wooden gate, and another woman talks to the woman below from the window upstairs, leaning on the fence and holding a scroll.
