Expedition to China & Japan 1870-1911

A wooden crate containing 34 boxes of glass and nitrate negatives was shipped from an unknown source to the Museum in 1985.  The crate indicated a date of 1907, but paper found inside the crate was dated 1870. The images are of a trip taken to China and Japan, photographer unknown.  Most intriguing is an image of prisoners being transported by police who have tied the prisoners braids together to prevent escape.
