Formal portrait, couple in traditional Japanese attire

This item has an indeterminable GMD—digital object is not available at this time.

This is an old photograph in a cardboard folder. The folder has Japanese script embossed on the front. The photograph features a man and woman dressed in formal attire. The man is standing and is wearing pinstriped pants and a long black jacket, a generally Western-style outfit. He is wearing white gloves. The woman is wearing a traditional kimono outfit, including a head covering. She is seated. In the back of the photograph there is a Japanese blind. A white lamp with a light bulb hangs in the top left corner of the image. The formality of this image and their formal attire suggests that it is a photo taken on occasion of their wedding. There are signs of decomposition on the protective sheet of the folder.

The photograph was originally contained in a standard orange postage envelope with the words “OLD PHOTOGRAPHS” written in pen. Another photograph (item 1995.125.1.2.6) was also contained in this envelope.
