Tinted lithograph with original hand colour 22.5 x 16 cm, 28.9 x 22.2 cm (sheet), edges a little age-toned, one corner creased and another with a small paper fault, but in very good condition. A fine cameo portrait of Buddhist Priest from a temple in Simoda (Shimoda) on the southeastern Izu peninsula, after a daguerrotype by Eliphalet Brown, and prepared for Commodore Perry's "Narrative of the Expedition of an American Squadron to the China Seas and Japan.". Perry visited Shimoda in April 1854, staying for three weeks and as his account bears witness was much impressed by the traditional way of life.

Shipping terms
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.
