Buying Camlets in a Shop, Yokohama, Japan, 1865 - A Glimpse into 19th Century Japanese Commerce
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from The Illustrated London News takes us back to the bustling streets of Yokohama in 1865. In this vibrant scene, we witness a snapshot of daily life as men engage in the age-old tradition of buying and selling camlets – a type of cloth popular during that era. The image showcases the rich tapestry of colors and textures found within the shop. Rows upon rows of intricately woven textiles adorn the walls while rolls of fabric are neatly stacked on shelves. The attentive seller stands behind his counter, ready to assist customers with their selections. Amidst this lively atmosphere, Japanese gentlemen can be seen examining various camlets with great interest. Dressed impeccably in traditional attire, they carefully inspect each piece before making their purchases. Their presence adds an air of elegance and sophistication to the scene. Yokohama's reputation as a thriving trading hub is evident through this print. It highlights not only the popularity of camlets but also reflects Japan's growing engagement with international commerce during this period. This visual documentation offers us a glimpse into how trade shaped everyday life and influenced fashion choices in 19th century Japan. Preserved by The Print Collector collection for future generations to appreciate, this remarkable artwork allows us to travel back in time and immerse ourselves in the vibrant world captured within its frame.
