Photographs taken in Japan between the late Edo period & early Meiji periods found their way overseas, & played a major role in forming Westerners` image of Japan. Among these collections, the pictures gathered by the Swiss diplomat Aime Humbert (1819-1900) in the 1860s were crucial in building lasting representations of the island nation: many of these, mainly collected in 1863/64 during a sojourn in Yokohama & Edo, were used as sources for the well-known & largely distributed engravings of his famous book Le Japon illustre, published in Paris in 1870. Belonging to the collection of the MEN, these beautiful & well-preserved photographs are published here for the first time.
