1. Title: A Winter's Tale: Snow-Covered Yokohama Custom House, Japan, Circa 1910s 2. Description: This evocative postcard image captures the serene beauty of a snow-covered Yokohama Custom House in Japan during the early 1900s. The scene, taken circa 1910s, presents a tranquil winter tableau, with the Custom House standing proudly against a backdrop of pristine, white snow. The building, an architectural marvel of its time, is adorned with intricate Oriental motifs and ornate details, adding to its allure. The snow-laden telegraph and telephone lines, suspended above the deserted street, create a stark contrast against the clear, blue winter sky. The path leading to the Custom House is barely visible, blanketed under a thick layer of snow, while the road beyond is silent and still. The clearing around the Custom House, with its scattered trees and bare branches, adds to the winter wonderland effect. The image, taken by renowned photographer Grenville Collins, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a period when the world was slower, quieter, and more enchanting. The snow-covered landscape, the intricate architecture, and the sense of stillness and calm make this postcard a cherished keepsake and a testament to the timeless beauty of Japan. 3.
