EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Matthew Calbraith Perry, an influential American naval officer who played a significant role in the opening of Japan to the Western world. The image is a Japanese woodcut from around 1853-54 during the Edo period, depicting Perry with great detail and artistry. In this portrait, Perry exudes authority and confidence as he stands tall in his uniform adorned with epaulettes. His prominent facial features, including his expressive eyebrows and well-groomed facial hair, add to his commanding presence. Holding a sword at his side, he symbolizes both power and diplomacy. The text accompanying the woodcut provides essential information about Perry's identity and highlights key aspects of his life and achievements. As an explorer and commander, he led expeditions that aimed to establish diplomatic relations between America and Japan during this transformative era of westernization. This artwork captures a pivotal moment in history when cultures collided as Perry visited Japan on behalf of America. It serves as a testament to the significance of this event while also showcasing the artistic talent prevalent during that time.
