The illustration shows two "samurai" at the side of a road.
The caption refers to an officer and his son. On closer inspection, however, one can see that the swords are bokken (wooden swords).
An interesting perspective seen from European prospect of that time. The illustration is highly detailed
A wonderful gift. The wood engraving is supplied with a passepartout.
