Description
This original old photograph is in very poor condition with many creases,
tears, scratches, stains, fading and discoloration. The photo appears to
have been previously mounted in an album as there is some torn paper from the
album stuck to the back of the photo as well as at the corners.
The photo dates from the late 19th or early 20th century and was acquired in the historic city of
Shizuoka, Japan near the foot of Mt. Fuji.
