History of the Osaka Iron Works. One page introduction in Japanese. 
Plates with captions in English and Japanese. 13 plates are of the 
Osaka Iron Works, 42 of ships built by the Iron Works, and 6 of other 
products and buildings. The Osaka Iron Works, later renamed as 
Hitachi Zosen, was formed by E.H. Hunter in 1881 and expanded in 1900 
by the addition of the Sakurajima Works along the Ajikawa river in 
Osaka, for the construction for large ocean going vessels as well as 
manufacturing machinery and steel structures. Scarce. The only other 
copy we have found is at UC Berkeley (OCLC: 30014108), though it 
contains only 50 plates. A very good copy, boards mildly soiled and 
rubbed, faint browning to edges of plates not affecting images.
