EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - Perry's Expedition to Japan. In the mid-19th century, Commodore Matthew Perry led an American fleet on a maritime exploration mission to Japan from 1852 to 1854. This particular image showcases one of the ships that sailed with him during this groundbreaking expedition. The detail is taken from a Japanese paper screen created by an unknown artist in 1854, providing us with a glimpse into the Edo period and the encounter between American visitors and Japanese locals. The ship stands tall against the vastness of the ocean, its flag proudly displaying "Old Glory" - symbolizing America's presence and influence. Commodore Matthew Perry played a pivotal role as commander of this fleet, acting as both explorer and admiral. His visit marked an important turning point in US-Japan relations, opening up diplomatic channels and paving the way for future interactions between these two nations. This print serves as a reminder of the power of exploration and transportation in shaping global connections. It encapsulates not only historical significance but also represents curiosity, adventure, and cultural exchange that occurred during this transformative expedition.
