Tinted lithograph 15 x 22.5 cm, 22 x 28.8 cm (sheet), edges a little soiled and creased, but the image in very good condition; a vivid impression. Fine detailed view by Wilhelm Heine rendered on the spot, ("from nature"), the lithograph with beautifully rendered tonal contrast, prepared for Commodore Perry's "Narrative of the Ex…pedition of an American Squadron to the China Seas and Japan.". In March 1854, Perry had won access to the Japanese ports of Shimoda and Hakodate for American vessels, with the sigining of the Kanagawa Treaty, effectively beginning a process of opening Japan to the West. This fine lithograph is particularly appealing for the depiction of two cultures amiably interacting (despite Perry's gunboat diplomacy) with the charming added detail of a dog pausing on its way.

Tinted lithograph with original hand colour 16 x 24.6 cm, 21.9 x 28.9 cm (sheet), edges a little age-toned, but in very good condition. A beautifully composed view of a Temple in Simoda (Shimoda) on the southeastern Izu peninsula, after a painting on the spot ("from nature") by William Heine and prepared for Commodore Perry's "N…arrative 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.
