Catalogue of Magic Lanterns, Accessories, and Slides Tsurubuchi Hatsuzō
[Japan] Very scarce catalogue by Tsurubuchi Hatsuzō (1847-1909), who ran his business in Asakusa, Tokyo, and became well-known for magic lantern slides and other photographic accessories. He was one of the first in Japan to import Western magic lantern equipment and made a successful business of it. Although this appears to be a 10th edition, we have never seen any other edition of this catalogue.
