1889 Lithograph and Copperplate Engraving Society of Osaka Meeting Notice

 

1889 Lithograph and Copperplate Engraving Society

大阪銅石版画会議通知(1889年)鈴木蕾斉 - 鈴木年基

This postcard, mailed from Osaka on January 19, 1889, informs Maeda Yoshihiko about the first-ever meeting of a society dedicated to discussing techniques in lithography and copperplate engraving. The meeting was scheduled for January 22, which seems rather short notice unless Maeda had been informed earlier. Whether he attended remains unknown. The meeting was to be held at the Jiyutei Hotel (自由亭ホテル) in Nakanoshima, Osaka.

Little is known about this society's existence, as no additional information was found online. However, the card provides a partial list of its members, though some names are difficult to decipher due to illegibility.
