Kusakabe Kimbei photo, farmers with rice straw, 1880s
Albumen print, hand colored. Title: C 25 CLEANING THE RICE PLANT. A group of farmers standing near the farm house, beating the rice out of the plants and cleaning away the straw. A mother and three children watch. Artist: Kusakabe Kimbei (1841-1943). Photograph probably from mid 1880s. Mat and framed.
Inner outline of mat: 7 7/8 x 10 5/8 inches (20.1 x 27.2 cm) (the actual photo is slightly larger, as it continues underneath mat); frame: 18 ¼ x 20 ¼ inches (46.9 x 51.9 cm).
Basically good condition. Hinged at margins on matboard (can be undone).
Kusakabe Kimbei (1841-1943) was active in the 1880s through 1900. He was an assistant to Felix Beato until 1863. He started his own studio in 1881 in Yokohama.

Ex Prudential Art Program (see label on reverse of frame).
