Catalogue and Price List of Photographic Lantern Slides: [Part 2] (Aberdeen: Wilson Brothers, 1905), 48

“The Land of the Rising Sun, which has been so much to the front of late in connection with the wars it has waged on its neighbours, China and Russia, is, under the present fiercely-burning Renaissance, fast being transformed to a European level, and one by one the many peculiarly fascinating Oriental garbs and graces of its aesthetic people are being swept away before the influx of unpicturesque Western notions. Ere it be too late, the camera has fortunately stepped in and preserved for us at least the outward semblance of the real Japan and its people, and the slides in this set will be found characteristic of the Mikado’s Empire.”
