En el texto se puede leer que su corresponsal en Yokohama (Charles Wirgman ?) ha enviado un esbozo para el grabado de la ejecución de dos japoneses relacionados con el asesinato de dos oficiales ingleses, el major Baldwin y el lieutenant Bird cuando iban a visitar el Daibutsu de Kamakura. Este suceso es conocido como el incidente Geba y que es justamente el que sirve de excusa para esta ilustración en el The Illustrated London News:

The Geba Incident
At the end of the Tokugawa shogunate there were several incidents involving violence against foreigners, the most famous of which is the Namamugi incident. In 1864 two Britons were slashed to death at this intersection by some Japanese men^[16].

On November 22, 1864^[17] British cartoonist Charles Wirgman and photographer Felice Beato were in Enoshima near Fujisawa, where they met Major Baldwin and Lieutenant Bird of the British garrison in Yokohama^[18]. Wirgman invited the two men to join them, but they declined because they wanted to go and see the Kamakura Daibutsu.^[18] On November 22 the two men were sketching near Wakamiya Ōji when they were stopped and murdered by some samurai.^[18] Three men were arrested and executed for the crime, and the head of their leader was publicly displayed in Yokohama.^[18] Baldwin and Bird were laid to rest in Yokohama's Foreign Cemetery.^[18] (Fuente: Wikipedia)

La web The Illustrated London News (ver: March 18th) anota estas ilustraciones relacionadas con este incidente y que pueden verse en la web de la University of Puget Sound:

The view represents the execution ground, about a couple of miles from Yokohama, where the murderer of Major Baldwin and Lieut. Bird,—the notorious Shimidzu Seiji—was executed in December 1864. The executioner is a well known old practitioner, who, by his own account, has in a year when business is brisk, a very tolerable income. He receives some 7 ichiboos (about $2.30) per head, and has taken off as many as 350 heads in a twelvemonth. His office, however, is a despised one. (Fuente: Luminous-Lint)

Felice Beato (attributed). Post-mortem of Lt. Camus - attributed to Felice Beato. Shows the badly mutilated corpse of Lieutenant Camus who was assassinated by anti-foreigner Samurai on the outskirts of Yokohama, Oct. 1863. On the verso of the print, penciled in unknown hand, possibly by Beato, are several graphic accounts detailing the assassination of Camus indicating that Camus was a French Military officer and was assassinated by three Ronin on 10/18/1863, in the suburbs of Yokohama, while on horseback. It indicates that this photograph was taken in order to report the atrocity to France. (Fuente: Luminous Lint)

Baxley Stamps dispone de la misma imagen ID5485 pero atribuye la autoría a Tamamura Kozaburo. Si superponemos  las 3 imágenes se observa que son idénticas excepto que la imagen ID 496 ha sido retocada en la copa de los árboles de la parte superior izquierda.

Bio: 

Kihei Tamamura was one of Japan's leading pictorialist from the early days of this movement. He was also the son of Kozaburo Tamamura, the famous Meiji Era commercial photographer who built a photo empire based out of Yokohama. Kihei seems to have turned professional around 1900 and have taken over his father's firm shortly thereafter. He is also thought to have taken many of the classic hand colored tourist views for his father's firm from that time. When the pictorialism movement hit Japan around 1910, Kihei became quite active in this genre and became known as one of the leading Japanese art photographers from 1915 to 1930. When the Great Kanto Earthquake struck Japan in 1923, his father's business was destroyed which may have oddly freed up Kihei to devote more time to his passion of art photography. However the family business was in ruin and never recovered. Kihei's work can often be found in Japanese photo journals and photo annuals during the 1920s including the the Camera Work like photo journal "Hakuyo"; and several of the Japan Photographic Annuals by Asahi Shimbun Publishing in the late 1920s. In the journals from the mid to late 1920s Kihei is always listed as being a resident of Osaka. He is often confused with his father by historians but is easy to identify due to the pictorialist style of his images. (Fuente: Sakura-do)
