This superb Asian Souvenir Export photo album filled with large albumen prints offers a vivid representation of people life and the architectural landscape of Victorian-Era Hong Kong Saigon in French Indochina Vietnam Canton Guangzhou China and Meiji-era Japan. Fifteen of the photographs depict scenes and life in and around Hong Kong with several of the photos by famed Chinese photographer Lai Afong 1839-1890 including a view of Happy Valley the Public Gardens the Peak Hill District with 55 houses at the Peak Cemetery and another view of the public gardens with harbour in the background by William Pryor Floyd 1834-c.1900 a prolific British Commercial Photographer. One of the Hong Kong photographs depicts the Mount Austin Hotel which was built above the Victoria Gap opened in 1891 and was named after Colonial Secretary John Gardiner Austin and operated for just a short time converted by 1897 into the Mount Austin Barracks. Another Hong Kong photo depicts the six-story expansion completed in 1893 to the Hong Kong Hotel facing Victoria Harbor on Queen’s Road which included a private ferry launch for guests. The last Hong Kong photo is a striking street scene by Lai Afong. Of particular interest are the several original albumen photos capturing Saigon French Indochina or Cochin China and surrounding areas with images shot by Emile Gsell 1838-1879 noted French military photographer and his successor Otto Wegener 1849-1922 noted Swedish photographer who continued to sell Gsell’s prints as well as Vidal/Salin-Vidal. These images include views of a “Native House Saigon” “Native Street Saigon” French “Military Hospital Ship” docked in Saigon “Monkey Palms Saigon” “French Settlement Saigon” along some railroad tracks and traditional sampans boats along a canal in Cholon Saigon. In our experience this many French Indochina Vietnam photographs included for travel in and around Saigon are quite uncommon. Nine of the original albumen photographs capture such scenes in and around Canton Guangzhou China such as the 500 Mages or interior shot of the 500 Lohan disciples of the Buddha inside the Hualin Temple in the western suburb of Canton the “Execution Yard” in Canton Pagoda near Cantonas well as two very nice images of the “Flower Boats” in Canton possibly by Lai Afong or Emil Rumsfield visually capturing these multi-tiered wooden houseboats or pleasure boats operating as exclusive floating brothels featuring music dining and socializing and essential to the Pearl River’s social economy into the 20th Century. A couple others include prisoners in wooden stocks in Canton China taken from a cracked glass negative and well-dressed Mandarin Chinese official.The remainder of the albumen photographs sprinkled through the album encompass a hand-coloured albumen of Japanese rickshaw pulling kimono-clad Japanese women; the Yokohama Hataba or English/French treaty pier; Yokohama Park with cherry blossoms viewing & rickshaws; the famed view of the staged seppuku scene with nearby kaishakunin Samurai assistant standing with drawn sword for beheading and beautiful Kamakura Temple shot by Felice Beato. Other Beato photos include a fine Palanquin photo of young geisha and porters; and a very nice “Setting Silk-Worm-Eggs to the Paper” with young silkworm women workers carefully extracting the threads. Adolfo Farsari 1841-1898 photos include one of the No. 9 House in Yokohama Japan as well as two shots of the Grand Hotel in Yokohama.
