Rosin album number one contains Rosin numbers 293 through 342. Item level records are available for each print contained in this album.
This album, with covers of lacquer and ivory, was produced by a shop which used photographs by Beato, Von Stillfried, Kimbei, and others, without including their descriptions or numbers. Each photograph is described by a label affixed below the print. The work is almost certainly by A. Farsari, who owned the stock of all of these photographs in the 1880s. Kimbei kept some stock he had purchased from Von Stillfried in his own shop. Confusion and uncertainty regarding attribution of 19th century Japanese photography is well-discussed in published material.

An assortment of musicians and dancers perform upon tatami mats in front of a painted folding screen.
Item is a triptych, consisting of three panels.
Full title reads, The 'Miyako-odori' dancing in Kioto, which is very peculiar in Japan, is opened for about a month in April, every year; the dancers and musicians are most famous dancing and singing girls in Kioto. The photos show their charming figures as they were taken in the same manner.
The Miyako-odori, or Cherry Blossom Dance, is performed by top geishas and maikos every April in Kyoto. The Miyako-odori, begun in 1872, was meant to alleviate the gloominess and depression following the great capital switch, when Kyoto was replaced by Tokyo as the new capital of Japan. This dance also serves as an opportunity for ordinary people to witness top-class geisha and maiko performances usually reserved for the elite of society.

Collage of images produced by studeo of Tamamura Kozaburo of photographs by both Felice Beato and Baron Raimund von Stillfried. These images include, clockwise from upper left corner, two Buddhist priests, a nobleman, two child acrobats (von Stillfried), a woman in winter dress with umbrella, a female musician with shamisen, an officer with sword, and a couple with umbrella. A pine branch fills the upper right corner, and printed scenes of shrubbery accompany some of the images.
Felice Beato was born in Venice around 1825. During his lifetime, he accompanied the British troops in India, recording images of the Indian Mutiny in 1857, and the Franco-British troops in China to cover the end of the Second Opium War in 1859. With his friend Charles Wirgman, Beato opened a photography studio in Yokohama, Japan in the early 1860s, and produced many images of the Japanese and their lifestyle, as interpreted by the Westerners. Selling his studio to Baron von Stillfried in 1877, Beato eventually died in Burma around 1908.
Baron von Stillfried was an Austrian noble who arrived in Japan in 1868. In 1871, von Stillfried opened a photo studio in Yokohama under the name, Messrs. Stillfried & Co. In 1877, in partnership with Hermann Anderson, von Stillfried bought Felice Beato's studio and negatives, and continued to take photographs of Japanese people. He eventually left Japan for Hong Kong in 1881.

Disassembled album of photographs compiled by Benjamin Smith Lyman
FSA A1999.35 A3
A group of 130 photographs compiled by the geologist Benjamin Smith Lyman while in Japan in the 1870s. Roughly half of the photographs are mounted on heavy album leaves, while the rest are unmounted. Subjects include scenes and monuments in Japanese cities and countryside, as well as genre views of Japanese people, both outdoors and in studio constructs. Many of the latter were taken by the photographer Suzuki Shin'ichi I (1835-1918). The Rosins acquired the album from a sale of deaccessioned books at the Forbes Library in Northampton, which holds Lyman's library. Because the album photographs were dispersed, there may be additional prints in the Rosin Collection that were also originally part of the Lyman album.
Benjamin Smith Lyman (1835-1920) was an American mining engineer born in Northampton, MA. He attended Harvard, as well as European institutions. Lyman was in Japan between 1873 and 1879 surveying Hokkaido oil and coal deposists for the Meiji government. Lyman travelled widely in Japan and likely purchased many of the photographs from commercial vendors. Lyman's personal papers from Japan are in the "Benjamin Smith Lyman Collection" at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, along with additional photographs.

According to Henry Rosin, this print demonstrates Beato's artistry as as a master of capturing social conflicts.
This print is a pair with Baron von Stillfried's print of the same image, with the exception of the young ragged girl. (Rosin number 139) When von Stillfried purchased Beato's studio in 1877, he also purchased Beato's negatives, of which included "Three women and a girl." Since von Stillfried's studio was for commercial uses, he cropped out the young girl and cut the photo. Only very rarely can one find such clear evidence of the artistry of Beato and the commercialization of von Stillfried.

With his friend Charles Wirgman, Beato opened a photography studio in Yokohama, Japan in the early 1860s, and produced many images of the Japanese and their lifestyle, as interpreted by the Westerners. Selling his studio to Baron von Stillfried in 1877, Beato eventually died in Burma around 1908.

Coffee being a vegetable, consequently pourous, the glazing seals the pores and keeps the Coffee for months as fresh as the day it comes from the roaster. THIS IS WHY IT IS GLAZED. The glazing is made from Corn Starch and Reclarified Sugar, nothing can be more nutritous and healthful. We account for the immense increase in our business to having our own houses in Rio de Janeiro and Santos, saving the intermediate or secone-hand profit, and putting all this saving in the quality of our Coffee.

Generally thought of as the father of Japanese photography, Shimooka Renjo was born in Shimoda, Japan, in 1823. In 1843 he secured an apprenticeship with artist Kano Tosan in Tokyo. Inspired by a daguerreotype he saw in 1844, Shimooka decided to learn more about photography. Shimooka learned the basics of photography from Henry Heusken, the interpreter to the American counsel, Townsend Harris. Shimooka moved to Yokohama in 1859. In Yokohama, Shimooka received formal training in photography and purchased photographic equipment and in 1862 opened his first studio. Apprentices at Shimooka's studio included Yokoyama Matsusaburo, Usui Shusaburo, Esaki Reiji, and Suzuiki Shin'ichi. Shimooka Renjo died in 1914. [biographical information is from: Bennet, T. (1996).
