Ogawa, K (Photographs & Collotypes):
Some Views of Japan from Photographs by K. Ogawa, K. Ogawa, Tokyo and Kelly and Walsh Ltd, Yokohama, ca 1911, 5 sepia tone collotype plates in decorated crepe paper covered wrap-around case, title printed in black on top flap of case, Kelly & Walsh book price list inside top flap of the case. Each loose collotype plate is printed in recess and contains a descriptive caption in Japanese within the recessed area immediately below the image and a verse of poetry in English (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Felicia Hemans) immediately below that and outside the recessed area.

Measurements:

  • Folio Case - 10 1/2+ x 13 1/2+ in - 27 x 34.5 cm.
  • Collotype Plates - 10 1/2 x 13 1/2 in - 26.5 x 34 cm.
  • Printed Collotype Images - 7 1/4 x 9 1/2 in - 18.5 x 27 cm.

I have seen this title advertised with 12 collotype plates and believe the 5 shown on this page represent an incomplete folio from an original 12 plate unit. I have dated this unit to ca 1911 because it was listed in an advertising flyer published then.
