Superb, large format photo of Japanese Lady in Kariginu ceremonial dress Hand-coloured albumen photo

Numbered in the negative '22' at the lower right of the lady that looks like Usui Shuzaburo's style or possibly Baron Raimund von Stillfried. On the reverse side is a poorly coloured photo of Shiba at Tokyo that matches Tamamura Kozaburo's numbering system.
