Catalogue Note
Les portraits de japonais au daguerréotype sont d'une grande rareté, en raison de l'apparition tardive du procédé dans l'archipel. Une vingtaine de plaques seulement sont connues, presque toutes dans des institutions. Les plus anciens de ces daguerréotypes sont l'œuvre de Harvey R. Marks, et datent de 1851. Marks les pris à San Francisco où l'équipage naufragé de l'Eiriki Maru avait trouvé refuge. Neuf seulement de ces portraits nous sont parvenus. Joseph Heco (Hikozō Hamada 1837-1897), fut le premier japonais à obtenir la nationalité américaine, et fut le fondateur du premier quotidien au Japon.
