EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Street in Kioto, c1887" transports us back to the bustling streets of 19th century Japan. The artist, Mortimer L Menpes, captures the essence of this vibrant city with his keen eye for detail and mastery of color. In this scene, a solitary woman dressed in a traditional kimono gracefully walks down a narrow lane lined with charming wooden buildings. The soft yellow glow from lanterns illuminates her path as she carries an elegant parasol to shield herself from the sun. Her presence adds a touch of serenity amidst the lively atmosphere. The architecture showcases the unique blend of Japanese design elements and Western influences prevalent during that era. Each building exudes its own character, adorned with intricate details and vibrant colors that reflect the rich cultural heritage of Kyoto. Menpes' use of perspective draws our attention towards the distant avenue where more people can be seen going about their daily lives. This glimpse into early 20th century Kyoto offers us a window into a bygone era filled with tradition and beauty. This remarkable image is part of Menpes' publication "Japan - A Record in Colour" which serves as both an artistic tribute and historical documentation. It reminds us of the enduring allure and timeless charm found within these ancient streetscapes.
