Photograph of Yokohama, looking down onto rooftops towards boats moored in the harbour in the distance. The caption reads: 'Yokohama, from the Native Side. The Canal shewn in this view separates the Foreign Concessions from the purely native quarter, the architecture of which is, for artistic purposes, superior to that shewn by the European residences. The British Naval Yard lies outside the Concession on this side of the Canal. A singular way of numbering the foreign houses has been adopted, they are being numbered consecutively throughout the settlement, without reference to the streets'.
