Comments - Wonderful look inside the Meiji Imperial Palace at a gathering of the Imperial family and their attendants. In the center the Empress holds up a young prince dressed in a military uniform, as the young girl standing before them carries a plumed hat in her hands. The emperor stands at far right wearing a matching uniform. The verandah opens onto a lovely garden landscape framed with flowering trees. Wonderfully detailed with rich vibrant color.
