EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Japanese Women, Simoda, 1855" takes us back in time to the exotic shores of Japan during the mid-19th century. The image, a colour lithograph by Eliphalet Brown Jr. , showcases two elegant Japanese women seated side by side in traditional dress. The intricate details and vibrant colors of their attire transport us into a world steeped in culture and tradition. Their full-length portraits allow us to appreciate every delicate fold and pattern of their garments, highlighting the meticulous craftsmanship that went into creating these beautiful outfits. Taken from Commodore M. C. Perry's Narrative of the Expedition of an American Squadron to the China Seas and Japan, this chromolithograph offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history when Western influence began to shape Japan's future. Simoda (also known as Shimoda) serves as the backdrop for this enchanting scene. Located in Shizuoka Prefecture, it was one of the first ports opened for foreign trade after centuries of isolation under Tokugawa rule. As we admire this remarkable piece from the Jackson Collection of American Lithographs at Free Library of Philadelphia, we are reminded not only of its artistic value but also its historical significance. It captures a fleeting moment frozen in time - an encounter between cultures that would forever change both nations' trajectories. Through this photograph print, we can immerse ourselves in the beauty and gracefulness that defined Japanese women during this era while reflecting on how art has always been instrumental in bridging
