Pieter Eduard Pistorius (1842-1879; omgekomen tijdens een zeereis van Singapore naar Japan), geëmployeerde; 2. H. Bon, zijde-inspecteur; 3. Rudolf Adriaan Mees (1837-1903), geëmployeerde; 4. Een Japanse comprador (term gebruikt voor een lokale medewerker die als agent of tussenpersoon optreedt voor een koloniale macht). v.l.n.r. zittend: 1. Twee Japanse pakhuisbedienden; 2. Willem Martinus van der Tak (1838-1899), agent en consul-generaal in Kanagawa-Yokohama; 3. B. Donker Curtius, geëmployeerde; 4. een Japanse pakhuisbediende.
