Buying camlets in a shop, Yokohama - from a sketch by our special artist, 1865. Creator: Unknown
Buying camlets in a shop, Yokohama, [Japan], 1865. 'In the sketch we have engraved...as an illustration of the social life and manners of the people of Japan, our Artist and Correspondent at Yokohama has delineated a scene of every-day occurrence in the shops of that busy city. The draper and his assistants, who are not less eager than their fellow-tradesmen in London or Paris to effect a sale, have unrolled a piece of camlet, and are showing it, with voluble commendations, to a purchaser, who is feeling the cloth with both hands to prove its texture, and inspecting its appearance with a dubious eye. His companions are looking on, meanwhile, and probably assisting his judgment with a word or two of advice'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into a Yokohama draper's shop in the mid-19th century with this illustration. Our special artist has captured a moment of everyday commerce, as a customer inspects and feels the texture of camlet fabric being showcased by an eager salesperson. The scene is filled with character, from the salesman's voluble commendations to the buyer's skeptical gaze and his companions' watchful eyes offering advice. This black-and-white print, published in 1865 in "Illustrated London News", offers a unique glimpse into Japanese social life during this period of cultural exchange and transformation. The artist has skillfully conveyed the bustling atmosphere of Yokohama's shops, where people from all walks of life gathered to purchase goods and services. This charming illustration is not only a testament to the artistry of our unknown creator but also a fascinating window into Japan's past.
