British exports to Japan in the 1910s

[Alan Hodgson]

I am interested in the types of photographic plate products made available from British manufacturers in Japan at around 1914.  I am particularly interested in Ordinary, Photo-mechanical and Process plate availability.

The reason for my interest is that Japanese academics of the time seem to have been taking different paths to their British colleagues. This may be down to simple availability of materials.

There are some high level Board of Trade export stats that might help, nothing that I know of that gives any detail. Kodak's records in the Kodak Historical Collection at the British Library may show something about its own exports
