The Far East (periodical)

The Far East was a newsmagazine published by J. R. Black in Yokohama, Japan between 1870 and 1878.

The periodical was illustrated with original, pasted-in photographs, at a time when photomechanical reproduction was still in its infancy.

[5] Significant photographers whose work also appeared in the newspaper included Uchida Kuichi, the elder Suzuki Shin'ichi,[6] and William Saunders.

[9] By 1876, in response to increased circulation, the prices were slightly reduced.

Accordingly, the photographic subjects appearing in the newspaper were now predominantly Chinese.
