EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting Avenue of Cryptomerias in Nikko, Japan, circa 1896. The image is part of The Underwood Travel Library - Japan collection, capturing a moment frozen in time. As we gaze at this scene, our eyes are drawn down the tree-lined road that stretches far into the distance. The avenue is adorned with majestic Cryptomeria trees on both sides, their branches reaching towards each other as if forming a natural archway. Sunlight filters through the dense foliage above, casting dappled shadows on the ground below. A lone rickshaw puller can be seen laboriously making his way along the lane, transporting passengers to their destination. The man's strength and determination are evident as he pulls the rickshaw forward under his straw hat and parasol for shade from the sun's rays. This snapshot offers a glimpse into transportation methods of that era when human-powered vehicles were prevalent. The photograph not only captures an exquisite landscape but also serves as a window into Japanese culture during this period. It evokes feelings of nostalgia and curiosity about life in 19th-century Japan – its customs, traditions, and daily routines. As we admire this piece of history preserved by The Print Collector29 and stereoscopic photography techniques employed by Underwood & Underwood studios over a century ago, it reminds us of how photographs have become powerful tools for preserving memories across generations.
