on the research of Daguerreotype camera (not this one), with a help of

curators of the Museum.

William Gowland, a british metallurgist, served as an adviser for the

Mint of coin at Osaka, at the end of 19th century. He spent his spare

time for the research of tumuluses of ancient Emperors of Japan, found

a lot in the area. He accomplished huge record of them by dry plate

photography, then the most advanced technology. He photographed even

in the darkenss inside the tumulus by using artificiall lighting,

magnesium flash, also the most advanced tech at the time. But the

record, 212 dry plates, has been stocked unknown in the British Museum

for more than 100 years. It was found by a Japanese photographer, Mr.

Goto (left) and a curator of B.M., Mr. Harris (center) some 10 years

ago. You can see Gowland standing in the tumulus, in the big back

panel, copied from his original plate, the first magnesium photography

in Japan in 1888. I used a british lens of 1880s and strobo instead of

magnesium, paying my respects to Gowland.
