All the new geographical discoveries all the reports from the latest exploratory expeditions were published and flowed into Petermann's Geographische Anstalt and he took care to see that it was translated into cartographic form as quickly as possible. The maps soon came to have a reputation for containing the latest and the most accurate information available.

réf. 11288Japan: ca. 1854-55. An impressively assembled scroll that portrays the second American expedition to Japan February-March 1854 led by Commodore Perry; much of it is focused on the American vessels that anchored menacingly off the coast. Seven of the nine ships in the American fleet are carefully portrayed with notes on the estimated numbers of cannons and crewmembers. Steam-powered ships with black smoke gushing from the stacks and rows of powerful cannons shocked the Japanese most of whom had never seen such a demonstration of advanced military technology. The observations in this scroll must have been crucial to inform the decision-making of Japanese officials. "Black Ship Scrolls" conveying eyewitness reports were disseminated among the Japanese elite and kept top secret. Our scroll was presumably created for a high-ranking Japanese official since any information on the American interlopers was carefully controlled by the local authorities to maintain public order in the face of an anticipated foreign invasion. Compared to other depictions of the foreigners which frequently showed them as caricatures hairy oversized red-faced and blue-eyed the more dignified portraits in our scroll demonstrate the increasing familiarity between the Japanese and American contingents. In the years following Japan's opening to the West Japanese artisans produced countless scrolls commemorating the American expeditions catering to the tourist trade and as gifts to visiting dignitaries. Mass-produced with foreigners' preferences in mind these scrolls took liberties with the events that transpired straying far from the earliest accounts and sketches. They pale in comparison with the elaborate and scrupulous illustrations found in this early scroll. Though the later mass-produced scrolls are easily found on the market examples like ours presumably created for a Japanese official or nobleman remain greatly treasured for their revealing depictions. We have ordered the scroll into 15 individual scenes most of which have a contemporary manuscript caption translated below: I. Three sailors in the American marching band two of whom are uniformed drummer boys. The band led the American march to Yokohama where negotiations between the two nations were held in a newly constructed reception hall. The Japanese manuscript caption reads: "Illustration of musicians." II. Two sailors with swords sheathed are holding their muskets with bayonets fixed. A fine indigo ink has been employed to depict the uniform on the left. Caption: "Rank: Sergeant/Soldier." III. Commodore Perry on the right faces a sailor who may be the conductor of the American expedition's marching band. Perry is depicted rather sympathetically compared to exaggerated and even outlandish portraits that depict him as quite large hairy and red-faced. The artist has once more used a deep indigo to capture the color of the uniforms. Caption: "Ambassador Perry/Conductor Commandant." IV. A larger portrait of a lone sailor probably an officer clutching his sheathed sword and clenching his fist. Caption: "Foreigner Captain landed near Kanagawa." V. An elaborate and realistic portrait of Perry capturing even the individual hairs on his head and the wrinkles on his face. Caption: "American Envoy Perry." VI. A portrait of Perry's chief-of-staff Henry A. Adams done by the same artist as Perry's portrait. Caption: "American Vice Envoy Adams." VII. upper portion A very long horizontal painting of the American column marching to the Yokohama reception hall for negotiations regarding the opening of Japan to American trade. There are more than 100 armed Americans soldiers following the marching band. The top of this sheet has been slightly cropped cutting off part of the American flag in the middle. Caption: "Illustration of American landing column." VIII. lower right A sizable rendering of the USS Vandalia a sloop-of-war that joined the Perry Expedition in late 1853.

1854réf. 191943Yokohama: c. 1854. A broadside newsletter kawaraban reporting on the return of the famous castaway Nakahama Manjiro and Perry's second visit to Japan. This example was produced in the year the Japanese isolation policy was ended and talk of foreigners especially Commodore Perry and his "black ships" was rife. Kawaraban were woodblock digests of local news events and scandals cheaply printed and distributed throughout the Edo period. On the left of this example is a short report about Nakahama Manjiro the castaway who lived in America for a decade before returning to Japan in 1851. It is accompanied by an illustration of an American sailor called "Itsuhii" carrying a gun and a compass and a sentence about how he supposedly travelled from Kanagawa to Daisha Gawara before returning to his ship. On the right is an illustration of an item sent floating towards Uraga Bay by Perry's ships with the caption "we do not know what it is". The centre of the page is taken up by an English-Japanese "dictionary" titled Amerika kotoba wakai no utsushi "American Words Translated" which purports to give the translations of common words such as "father" "fish" and "hair". However the translations are not correct: "oranhee" "kyonpo" and "romo" respectively. These words may have been misheard by the author or they may have been a satirical attempt to mock the sound of English. The historian of the English language Sogo Masaaki suggested that perhaps there is some relation to words in Malay. Single sheet 210 x 284 mm woodblock on one side only. Illustrations in text; text in Japanese. Mounted framed with Hawaiian koa wood and glazed 340 x 440 mm. Print bright two small holes on right edge light creasing and dust-soiling; small crack in frame in lower right corner: a very good copy unexamined out of frame. unknown
1856réf. 191708Japan: c. 1856. The first Western ships in a newly opened Japan An untraced manuscript record of the Western ships that arrived in Shimoda after Perry signed the Convention of Kanagawa. They include those from his fleet such as the Mississippi and the Macedonian as well as the Russian flagship Diana and many smaller trading vessels about which little information survives. Compiled anonymously the ledger begins on 25 February 1854 and ends on 26 February 1856. Over this period the scribe recorded the names captains armaments and crew compliments of each vessel that arrived in port. While much of this information is available elsewhere for larger American ships such as the Vandalia there are fewer resources that give details on smaller trading ships such as the Lady Pierce Caroline E. Foote Vincennes and Hancock. For example this ledger notes that the Caroline E. Foote docked 21 January to 9 February 1855 arrived with 21 people including 3 women and 2 children a boy aged 9 and a girl aged 5 before ferrying Russian sailors who had been staying in Toda village back to Kamchatka. The scribe also notes the arrival of Russian ships including the flagship Diana. Her captain Yevfimy Putyatin was sent to negotiate the Treaty of Shimoda. In December 1854 the fleet was hit by a tsunami causing the Diana to spin round her mooring 42 times. Three French ships are recorded in the manuscript transcribed as the Napoleon III Havre Constantine and Colbert. We have been unable to trace information about these vessels in other sources. Large octavo 245 x 171 mm ff. 15. Manuscript in red and black on recto and verso of leaves; text in classical Japanese. Original manuscript title leaf paper string koyori tied through one hole. Together with manuscript draft drawing of a Dutch officer 327 x 243 mm stamp of the artist "Toho" in red. Creased as expected a few worm holes internally some repaired otherwise bright: a very good example. unknown
