Ladies of Japan in the Stereoscope

Ladies of Japan in the Stereoscope

The article begins by describing the viewing of stereoscopic images. As the article develops it becomes a reading less about technology and more about opinions of the women of Japan and an account of the characters represented in the images. Without the stereoscope, there would be no means of encountering such detailed representations of these women. Furthermore, the language and the tone of the text gives us insight into this westernized and British nationalist thinking. As though the differences experienced in Japanese culture is one of uncivilized nature.
