Unidentified photographer / artist
1870s (ca)
Portrait of An Early Japanese Cross-Dresser

Ambrotype
3.5 x 2.75 in (89 x 70 mm)
 
Charles Schwartz Ltd
This image is notable as the man appears to be a cross-dresser; he is wearing a woman's kimono. There is an inscription, written in ink and brush, on the inside of the case bottom, underneath the glass plate which reads, "Young man, age 20.5."
