What this plate shows
A photographic panorama, joined: the seams are visible and are part of the plate. Yokohama in 1863 from a hill — tiled roofs, the foreign settlement, ships in the bay, fields beyond. A camera, not a drawn bird’s-eye. Not a single unjoined frame.

- Replaced — The settlement in the picture is the early treaty-port town. It is not the later city. The harbor is still there. Individual roofs are not each given a status.
