A Geisha House, lantern slide - Drawing. Public domain image.

Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "A Geisha House is not generally a large establishment-- six or seven to a dozen Geisha's and half as many musumes make it up. The mother or keeper is generally an old geisha, often a once celebrated dancer and entertainer, as one may guess fro the many middle-aged or aging men who will sit down beside her and swap stories with her about merry old times of other days.". .Original Collection: Visual Instruction Department Lantern Slides. .Item Number: P217:set 060 022. ..You can find this image by searching for the item number by clicking here ( http://oregondigital.org/digcol ) . ..Want more?
