EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning illustration titled "Bungo or Prefect, Hahodadi, 1855" by Eliphalet Brown. The artwork, created in color lithography, measures 22.625x15 cm and is housed at the Free Library of Philadelphia. The image depicts an Asian man dressed in traditional attire, exuding an air of solemnity and authority. This distinguished figure represents a statesman or magistrate from Japan during the mid-19th century. His seated posture suggests his role as a legal professional, perhaps even a lawyer. The illustration originates from Commodore M. C. Perry's Narrative of the Expedition of an American Squadron to the China Seas and Japan, documenting the voyage undertaken between 1852 and 1854. It was part of Perry's efforts to establish diplomatic relations with Japan during this period. Eliphalet Brown Jr. , along with Thomas Sinclair as the artist and lithographer respectively, beautifully captured this momentous encounter between East and West through their chromolithograph technique. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait today, it serves as both a historical artifact and a testament to cross-cultural exchange. The intricate details in Bungo or Prefect's traditional dress highlight his cultural heritage while also showcasing his position within Japanese society. This print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic skill involved but also offers us insight into global history by immortalizing significant figures like Bungo or Prefect within our collective memory.
