Viewing Oura Foreign Settlement from Japanese Garden next to Chief Officer’s Residence at Dejima

Viewing Oura Foreign Settlement from Japanese Garden next to Chief Officer’s Residence at Dejima

This is one of the oldest scenic photographs of Nagasaki. It was taken by Milton Miller, who came to Nagasaki in 1862, not long after the opening of Japan's doors in 1859. Miller seems to have visited the residence of the chief factor at the Dejima Dutch Factory. Taken from the garden beside the residence, the photograph provides a distant view of the foreign settlement where the 2nd phase of land reclamation work had reached completion and houses were being built. The column on the left is a flag pole to raise the Dutch national flag. The roof of Myogyoji Temple (temporary British Consulate at the time) is visible. The Glover house has not been built yet. This photograph is also contained in the Bauduin Collection donated to Leiden University.==Date:1861-62?, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number113‐8‐0]
