By October 1860, Rossier had returned to Nagasaki, where he took photographs of the harbour on behalf of the British Consul, George S. Morrison, for which Rossier was paid $70. Although Rossier's photographs of Japan were advertised by "Negretti and Zambra" on at least two occasions in 1860, the firm did not publish them until October or November 1861. Five of Rossier's views of Japan appeared earlier, in George Smith's book, "Ten Weeks in Japan", in April 1861, and that July, eight of Rossier's Japan photographs appeared in the form of lithographs in Henry Arthur Tilley's book, "Japan, the Amoor, and the Pacific". An 1861 edition of the Illustrated London News included several engravings under the collective title "Domestic Life in China", the images having been taken from Rossier's stereographs. One of the photographs "Negretti and Zambra" had advertised in 1860 became the first commercial photograph taken in Japan to be published, and is the earliest known hand-coloured Japanese photograph.
