The Frank and Frances Carpenter Collection

The Frank and Frances Carpenter Collection consists of photographs produced and gathered by Frank G. Carpenter (1855-1924) and his daughter Frances (1890-1972) to illustrate his writings on travel and world geography. Carpenter's works helped popularize cultural anthropology and geography in the early years of the twentieth century. 

The ones in this set are of scenes from Japan. They form a nice complement to the previous sets of Japan because these include some intimate household scenes.
