Stillfried & Andersen

The firm of Stillfried & Andersen, also known as the Japan Photographic Association, was a photographic studio founded by Baron Raimund von Stillfried and Hermann Andersen that operated in Yokohama, Japan between 1876 and 1885.

[1][2] The studio is noted for its portraits[3] and landscapes[4] that were often hand-coloured and presented in bound albums.

The firm also produced photographic prints from negatives by Felice Beato.

After at least two visits to Japan in the early to mid-1860s, Austrian photographer and nobleman Baron Raimund von Stillfried became a resident of Yokohama in 1868, where it is believed he learned photography from Felice Beato.

[5] Another incarnation of the firm was the Japan Photographic Association, under which name it was listed in 1875.
