EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured glass slide captures a momentous figure in Japanese history - The Meiji Emperor. Taken around 1880, this portrait showcases the emperor's commanding presence and regal demeanor. Clad in a military uniform adorned with prestigious decorations, he holds a sword, symbolizing his authority and power. The Meiji Emperor reigned from 1867 to 1912 during a period of significant transformation in Japan. His reign marked the end of the feudal era and the beginning of modernization efforts that propelled Japan into becoming an industrialized nation. Seated confidently, the emperor exudes strength and determination as he gazes directly at the viewer. The vibrant colors meticulously added to this glass slide bring life to his image, enhancing its impact. As one of Syracuse University Art Museum's prized possessions, this photograph print offers us a glimpse into Japanese history and culture during the late nineteenth century. It serves as a testament to both artistic craftsmanship and historical significance. With every detail captured on this glass slide – from his military cross to his stoic expression – we are reminded of The Meiji Emperor's pivotal role in shaping Japan's future. This portrait immortalizes him as an influential leader who guided his country through profound changes towards progress and modernity.
