<p>[QUOTE="Batman_2000, post: 47084, member: 481"]Hi, I'm new here and hope it's ok to wade in with a couple of photos of my latest find... a framed photograph of Ginkakuji (or Silver Pavilion) in Kyoto, Japan. The address on the label identifies it to the 1890s/1900s. I'm located in the UK so I'm curious as to how it got here from New York, and would also love to know more about it's history, since that's what really interests me; is there any way to identify the photographer? I've searched online but can't find anything relevant... I thought Keppel specialised in engravings/etchings, but can find little information about Keppel with regards to photographs.</p><p><br /></p><p>The detail is incredible (hard to show in a scan) and the image is hand-coloured. Could this be a collotype, or is it more likely to be an albumen print? I'm very much learning about this, so please bear with me!</p><p><br /></p><p>And finally, would there be any value in this item? I plan to hang it on my wall, but curiousity has the better of me!</p><p><br /></p><p>Many thanks.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]11805[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]11806[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
