The Eastern Bluff, Yokohama. Photographer: Unknown
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Landscape Photography
View looking along the cliffs of the Bluff at Yokohama: 'Only three years ago the bluff land bounding Yokohama was for the most part wild, with only here and there a patch of cultivation. Very early after the residence of foreigners here was an accomplished fact, there was a dispensation on the part of the Japanese government to appropriate it to the use of foreigners on very easy terms; but somehow the two parties did not quite agree; so nothing was done, and it was not until 1867 that the first land sale took place. Since then houses have been built by foreigners, and the ground has been covered with a rapidity, and to an extent, that is surprising. The view on page 1 of our present issue, is taken from a lot appropriated for a British Naval Hospital, and shews some of the private residences, and far away, the general quarters on the Bluff, and at its foot the P.M.S.S. Company's premises and wharf; Yokohama itself being hidden by the point. The shipping in the harbour and the Kanagawa shore are faintly seen in the distance.'
