EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an American naval officer from Commodore Matthew Perry's historic expedition to Japan in 1854. The image showcases a paper screen adorned with intricate Japanese artwork, providing a glimpse into the cultural exchange that took place during this significant event. The officer stands tall and proud, donning his uniform which represents the might of the American Navy. His hat bears the emblem of his nation, while his clothing reflects a mid-19th century Western style amidst the traditional Edo period backdrop. With an air of authority, he holds a sword by his side, symbolizing both power and diplomacy. This drawing serves as a testament to Commodore Perry's mission to open up Japan to international trade and foster diplomatic relations between America and Japan. It signifies an important moment in history when two nations embarked on a journey towards mutual understanding and cooperation. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bradley Smith's Carousel Collection, we are reminded of the profound impact that such expeditions had on global affairs. This photograph invites us to reflect upon the ongoing process of Westernization during this era and appreciate how it shaped modern-day Japan.
