Tinted lithograph 15.2 x 22.6 cm, 22.1 x 28.8 cm (sheet), edges a little age-toned, lower edge ragged, but the image in very good condition. View by official artist, Wilhelm Heine of the representation by Commodore Perry to Shuri Castle in Okinawa in June, 1853. It was an impressive, and intended, show of force, not lost on the Japanese hosts. The view depicts the Shureimon Gate: shurei meaning "observing manners" or courtesy: a highly symbolic image prepared for the official account by Perry & Hawks, "Narrative of the Expedition of an American Squadron to the China Seas and Japan.".

Versandinformationen:

The shipping prices quoted on ABEBooks reflect what we have found to be the "average book". Of course in reality there are many books that do not weigh what an "average book" weighs so there are times when we need to requote shipping, just as there are times when we are in position to refund some of the shipping. Please rest assured we try to get your order to you for a reasonable price, as quickly and as well packed (we carefully pack all of our parcels in book boxes) as possible.
