J.L. Abbott 1877 Signed CDV 1st Japanese Student Kozu Senzaburo N.Y. Normal School Albany, c. 1877 Albumen print
2 1/2 x 4 inches; With photographer\'s credit and Kozu\'s signature verso. Rare and possibly unpublished carte-de-visite portrait of Kozu Senzaburo, New York State Normal School\'s first international student. Kozu came from Tokyo to Albany in the 1870s and was a student at the NY State Normal School from 1875-1877. He then attended Albany Law School before returning to Tokyo where he had an esteemed career as a translator and musicologist. The portrait is signed \"To Ma...(?) Rowe, with best wishes of her schoolmate S. Kozu, Japan.\" Kozu\'s name is signed in Kanji as well. This was possibly gifted to Mary A. La Rowe, who was at the Normal School at the same time as Kozu, graduating in 1878.
