Black-and-white photograph with an inscription representing a town street with wooden buildings decorated by banners and lanterns with Japanese language
A street scene, "Shibaia match Yedo," of the theater district in Tokyo. Two story wooden buildings line the street, adorned with lanterns and banners. Umbrellas and large wooden barrels are in front of some buildings. Ghostly figures appear in the middle of the street, the result of people moving too fast for the camera to capture. | Inscription: "Shibaia match Yedo," in ink in cursive by Charles Longfellow. (On image.) | Notes: Yedo, or Edo, is a former name for Tokyo.
