EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to a construction site for a European house in Edo, now known as Tokyo. The scene is bustling with activity as stone cutters, terrassiers, mortar gacheers, platriers, and carpenters diligently work together to create this architectural marvel. The image comes from an engraving that was used to illustrate the voyage to Japan by Aime Humbert, minister of the Swiss Confederation, during 1863-1864. Published in "Le tour du monde" in 1869 and edited by Edouard Charton of Hachette Paris, this historical piece offers a glimpse into the rich cultural exchange between Europe and Japan during that era. The composition showcases the dedication and craftsmanship of these laborers who are seen using various tools and instruments specific to their trade. Their meticulous attention to detail is evident as they shape stones or apply plaster with precision. This print not only captures the essence of a construction site but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and collaboration across borders. It provides valuable insight into the development of architecture in Edo (Tokyo) at that time. Preserved within Leonard de Selva's private collection, this remarkable image allows us to appreciate both the beauty of Japanese craftsmanship and its fusion with European architectural influences.
