Comments - Handsome design showing the members of the National Diet, the governing body of Meiji Japan, seated in assembly at their second meeting in the 25th year of the Meiji reign. Dressed in western-style black suits and blue gloves, the men sit quietly in concentric rows on the ground floor, while a speaker stands at a podium at right, clerks taking records at the desk just below. A list across the top identifies the members. An interesting historic image from the Meiji era, nicely detailed.
