Felice BEATO (1832-1909), ca. 1880 (JAPAN) - Lot 211
Felice BEATO (1832-1909), ca. 1880 (JAPAN) Five Geishas at the Tea Ceremony and Eating, noted "Eating" lower right, period print, albumen paper enhanced with watercolor,+- 19.5 x 26 cm. Note: Kusakabe Kinbei (日下部 金兵衛, Kusakabe Kinbei?) (born November 27, 1841 in Kōfu, Yamanashi Prefecture, died April 19, 1934 in Ashiya, Hyōgo Prefecture) was a Japanese photographer. He was usually called by his first name, Kinbei, because his clientele, mostly foreigners, found it easier to pronounce than his name. Kinbei Kusakabe worked as a colorist and assistant alongside Felice Beato and Baron Raimund von Stillfried before opening his own studio in Yokohama, in 1881, in the Benten-dōri district and, in 1889, moving to the Honmachi district. He also opened a branch studio in Tokyo's Ginza district. Around 1885, he bought the negatives of Beato and Stillfried, as well as those of Kuichi Uchida and some of Hikoma Ueno. He retired from photography in 1912-1913. Expertise: Philippe Ventimaux.
