EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Delivering of the American Presents at Yokohama, 1855" takes us back in time to a significant moment in history. The image showcases an extraordinary scene during the Perry Expedition, where American presents are being delivered to Yokohama, Japan. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this historical event to life. We see figures from both Western and Asian cultures gathered on the riverbank, engaging in international diplomacy and cultural exchange. A locomotive stands tall in the background, symbolizing progress and modernity. The composition beautifully captures the essence of this diplomatic mission as gifts are exchanged between nations. The Japanese recipients eagerly await their American presents while showcasing their own unique culture through traditional attire and tools like a scythe. This photograph not only documents a specific event but also serves as a testament to the growing relationship between Japan and the United States during that era. It highlights moments of curiosity, exploration, understanding, and respect for one another's customs. Preserved by the Free Library of Philadelphia's Print and Picture Collection - Jackson Collection of American Lithographs - this print is a valuable piece of art that allows us to reflect upon our shared history with Eastern cultures while appreciating how far we have come in terms of international relations.
