Looking For Authentic Japanese Photos

[barnejp]

Hello Everyone,

 

I am looking for photos produced between 1863 and 1877 by photojournalist Felice Beato?

 

Best regards,

Greg

Hi Greg.,

 

Do you mean original items or links to the Beato Collection?

 

If the latter, then try this:

If the former, Antiquarian Book sellers in the UK often deal in folios which contain photographs, I would imagine it would be the same in Canada.

Hi Greg, if it would be of interest I have one by his student Kusabe Kimbei which I can share with you this evening. It was formerly from a large corporate art collection (where I was curator). Later this company closed and this is one of two artworks I purchased.
