- Description
- The staff of an agent of the Nederlandsche Handelmaatschappij-NHM (Dutch Commercial Company) in Yokohama, Japan. Although this Dutch trading company originally also had offices in Hyogo, Osaka and Nagasaki, these were closed because of very disappointing results. Eventually, after closing down the Yokohama office, the NHM withdrew completely from Japan. The staff members on the photo are, standing from left to right: 1. the employee Pieter Eduard Pistorius (1842-1879), who died during a crossing from Singapore to Japan; 2. the silk inspector H. Bon; 3. the employee Rudolf Adriaan Mees (1837-1903); 4. a Japanese comprador (a local employee acting as an agent or intermediary for a colonial power) and, sitting from left to right: 1. two Japanese warehousemen; 2. Yokohama Willem Martinus van der Tak (1838-1899), the agent and consul general in Kanagawa; 3. the employee B. Donker Curtius; 4. a Japanese warehouseman.
