The Universal Photo Art Company was one of several business titles under which photographer Carlton Harlow Graves sold his photographs late in his career. He was the son of Jesse Albert Graves, an important early worker who was based in the Delaware Water Gap area of Pennsylvania in the 1860-1880 time frame and produced some 500 generally fine scenic views of the western part of the state. Carlton learned the photographic art from his father and moved to Philadelphia to began producing on his own in about 1880. In his early years, he seems to have taken all the views which he published, but he soon began to buy or pirate images from others. Stereoviews issued under his own name are extremely rare.

1837 Shimooka, Renjo Diboots. The largest idol in the world

Recto

Verso (detalle caligrafía y sello)

Author: Shimooka Renjo, born as Sakurada Hisanosuke, opened one of the first commercial photography studios in Yokohama, and was a rival of Ueno Hikoma in Nagasaki. Learning photography from the American captain John Wilson, Shimooka opened a studio in Yokohama in 1862. He became very prosperous selling tourist and portrait photographs, and was one of the creators of the "Yokohama Shashin" photography of tourism. In 1867 he opened the new Zenrakudo studio in Yokohama, and took on many apprentices. Retiring in 1876, he relinquished his business to his son.

Ueno Hikoma Award (otorgado por la Kyushu Sangyo University):

Ueno Hikoma (1838-1904), the “father of Japanese photography”, who took this photo. He was a pioneering photographer in Japan. After studying chemistry at Nagasaki Igaku Denshusho (Nagasaki Medical Institution), he learned photography from Mr. Rosch, a French photographer Pierre Joseph Rossier (bio en Wiki). Then, in 1862, the 2nd year of the Bunkyu period, he opened Ueno Satsueikyoku (Photo Studio Ueno), the first photo studio in Japan. Many famous people, including Sakamoto Ryoma, Katsu Kaishu and Takasugi Shinsaku, went there, and the studio became famous. His photos convey many important historical images to our modern world.

Album 1, page 17: 1 photographic print: hand coloring; image 26.5 x 20.7 cm., on mount 26 x 33.5 cm
Anónimo : A. Farsari, Kusakabe Kinbei ??.
Forms part of Rosin album number 1. Page 17
Title taken from label affixed to bottom of mount
Short description detailing the dimensions of the Daibutsu is printed on label affixed to bottom of mount
This album, with covers of lacquer and ivory, was produced by a shop which used photographs by Beato, Von Stillfried, Kimbei, and others, without including their descriptions or numbers. Each photograph is described by a label affixed below the print. The work is almost certainly by A. Farsari, who owned the stock of all of these photographs in the 1880s. Kimbei kept some stock he had purchased from Von Stillfried in his own shop. Confusion and uncertainty regarding attribution of 19th century Japanese photography is well-discussed in published material.

Dolly Dingle Visits Japan 

paper dolls, Pictorial Review, Feb. 1928

Grace G. Drayton (1877-1936)

Dolly has short hair instead of long curls, and a flying suit as well as a kimono. She seems to have become an intrepid traveller rather than just a little girl playing dress-up. Instead of a doll she has the Buddha mascot "for luck."

Comment: La fotografía que sirve de base fue tomada en 1880's (Kusakabe Kinbei ?). Elementos similares son los personajes central y derecho sobre la figura y la escalera. Los personajes a pie de la escultura pueden ser añadidos como resultado de una combinación de ambas imágenes.
