Author: Yokosuka.
Title: [Yokosuka-ko Ichiran Ezu].
Description: Tokyo, Matsunosuke Nishimura1879 (Meiji 12). Engraved broadside 38x52cm. Folded as issued, with the original coloured wrapper (fukuro) - somewhat grubby and used but complete. A remarkably good copy. ¶ Ideal for the detail fanatic: not much is missed and most of it is neatly labelled. This is the new Yokosuka naval base and shipyards where Japan's first modern warships were produced.
