Tinted lithograph 15.2 x 22.6 cm, 22.8 x 28.8 cm (sheet), small stain affecting the top corner of the margin only, lower edge ragged, but the image in very good condition. A view capturing the first landing of Commodore Matthew Perry's (1794-1858) fleet in Japan, which was to have lasting ramifications. Perry's mission was to open Japan to international trade, with the tacit threat of gunboat reprisals. This show of force resulted in the signing on 31 March 1854 of the Convention of Kanagawa. The view by the expedition artist, Wilhelm Heine was prepared for Perry's "Narrative of the Expedition of an American Squadron to the China Seas and Japan.".

Versandbedingungen

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.
