Comments - Terrific view of the bustling Nihonbashi Bridge in Tokyo. The roadway is crowded with pedestrians, horse-drawn carriages, and rickshaws. At bottom center, men gather beside a notice board, while at far right, two policemen in uniforms stroll past a fenced building. Teahouses line the opposite shore of the Sumida River, with a few large white warehouses next to another bridge at right. Telegraph lines run across the scene, a sign of the rapid modernization taking place during the Meiji era. An interesting subject, nicely detailed.
