This is my favorite image from a group of RPPCs (real photo postcards) from Japan I purchased some time ago. It was likely printed in the early 1920s (though may have been taken earlier). The photographer and exact location are unknown.

For those who are unfamiliar, real photo postcards are "continuous-tone photographic images" printed directly onto postcard stock. They were a popular way to share photos in the early 20th century and the markings on the card stock can help you narrow down when they were printed: https://www.playle.com/realphoto/

If anyone can identify the exact model of the camera in this photo, I would love to know what it is.

Here's a "RPPC" (Real Photo Postcard) from my collection. For those who may not know, RPPCs are photographs that are reproduced by developing them onto photographic paper that is the size and weight of a postcard and has a postcard back. In the early 1900s, it was sometimes the most accessible way to acquire a photograph and had the bonus of being easily sharable.

This is an early image (taken sometime between 1907-1914) of a baseball game being played at a girls' school in Japan. Unfortunately I don't have much information on it beyond that.
