Three Japanese women and two children group portrait, circa 1872

Black-and-white photograph representing Japanese women, two standing and one sitting, and two standing Japanese girls, all close to each other, one girl holding a doll

A group of Japanese people, three women, a girl and a boy, pose on a European carpet against a plain backdrop. Two women stand in back. One, identified elsewhere as the owner of the Eumero teahouse, wears a dark kimono with a light area above her obi [sash] and holds a round, flat uchiwa fan. The other, identified elsewhere as Sokuhe, places her left hand on the boy's shoulder. At lower left a woman wearing a dark kimono sits with her legs beneath her and has a folding ogi fan in her hand. A young girl sits on a chair in the center, holding a Japanese doll on her lap. Both children wear kimono with overall designs and are barefoot. | Inscription: "Eumero [Yumeiro] 'gazelles'" in ink in cursive by Charles Longfellow. (Below image.)
