Pair of tinted lithographs 15.3 x 22. 9 cm; 22 x 28.7 cm sheet and 15.1 x 22.6; 22.5 x 28.7 cm sheet; lower edge of on ragged with paper adhesions marginal age toning and a small corner stain affecting top corner of one view but the images in very good condition. A pair of views drawn on the spot " From nature" by Wilhelm Heine with figures after daguerrotypes by Eliphalet Brown prepared for Commodore Perry's "Narrative of the Expedition of an American Squadron to the China Seas and Japan.". Heine and Brown the artists may be seen conferring in the middle ground of one view.The expedition visited the then independent kingdom of Lew Chew Ryukyu in 1854 where famously Perry signed a trade agreement on July 11th. In 1875 Japan posted a military garrison in Lew Chew annexing the Islands in 1879. <br> <br>Perry's Narrative goes into considerable detail about these views: “Picturesque crags studded the hillside…Over it towered a tall crag rent through the centre and surmounted with a square rock like a ruined tower and on a spot commanding a fine view of the bay we found a handsome Cunq-qua in an enclosure planted with trees. A dignitary of some kind welcomed us and we were plied with small cups of excellent tea…” . (A.O.P. Nicholson). unknown

1856170801New York: G. P. Putnam & Company 1856. Heine brought a gentle panoramic romantic realism First edition superior issue the "extra fine edition on Bristol boards in portfolio". Only one other copy of this issue still with the publisher's portfolio and the atlas in the original wrappers has appeared in commerce in the past four decades. Wilhelm Heine 1827-1885 was appointed as the Perry Expedition's official artist aged only 25. Sketching and painting in watercolour he "brought a gentle panoramic romantic realism to both the selection and execution of his subjects. His landscapes were invariably scenic. Where people were concerned he preferred them in substantial numbers. He rarely lingered on the 'exotic' did not dwell much as happened later on various social 'types' and did not seek out the sensational" MIT Visualizing Cultures. Heine's informative personal account of the expedition was published in Leipzig in 1856. The three-volume official narrative 1856-58 employed 63 of his artworks. In Bennet's view however the plates in Graphic Scenes are "many times finer". The nine views include one of "Macao from Penna Hill" two drawn in Canton and six of Loochoo Yokohama and Shimoda. The superior issue retailed at $12. When complete this is often found with the text rebound or with the text and plates housed in a later portfolio. The closest comparator sold at Sotheby's New York in April 2012 which included the letterpress in the original cloth-backed wrappers and a red half morocco portfolio. Putnam & Co. also sold an ordinary issue with tinted plates only for $6. Folio 520 x 380 mm 10 lithographed plates printed area c. 200 x 300 mm by Sarony & Co.: 8 printed on India paper and mounted on card as issued including tinted uncoloured lithographed portrait of Commodore Perry after a daguerreotype by Haas and 7 hand-coloured tinted lithographs after paintings by Heine; 2 chromolithographs printed direct on card.

Ten lithographic prints on proof paper tipped onto bristol board with glossy backs one tinted portrait of Perry from a daguerreotype by P. Hass nine views by Heine printed in colors and finished by hand all printed by Sarony & Co. Large folio. The very rare deluxe colored issue on card of this important work recording Commodore Perry's expedition to Japan. Evidence of the rarity of this album is given by Bennett writing in 1947: "Obviously several copies must have been preserved but the one described seems to be the only one yet offered for public sale." <br /> <br /> William Heine was the official artist of Commodore Matthew C. Perry's expedition to Japan in 1853-54. On returning to the United States he produced several series of prints commemorating the trip. A group of six elephant folio prints appeared in 1855 and the following year the present volume was issued with different images and with explanatory text. Both projects employed the New York lithographic firm of Sarony probably the best lithographers in the United States at that time. "As artistic productions the pictures speak for themselves . none superior to them have been executed in the United States and they have no cause to shun comparison with some of the best productions of Europe" Introduction. <br /> <br /> Copies were produced on regular paper with tinted lithographs and in a deluxe form as in the present copy mounted on bristol board and beautifully with the plates finished by hand. The plates are numbered and titled as follow: 1. portrait of Perry; 2. "Macao from Penha Hill"; 3. "Whampoa Pagoda"; 4. "Old China Street Canton"; 5. "Kung-kwa at On-na Lew-Chew"; 6.

"Grave yard at Simoda Dio Zenge."<br /> <br /> Bennett describes the plates as "many times finer than those in the regular account of the Perry expedition." His remarks on the work's great rarity are confirmed by its absence from both the Abbey catalogue and Cordier's Japanese bibliography. Bennett p.53; McGrath p.123 Putnam unknown

185646791New York: G. P. Putnam & Co 1856. Large folio approx. 20½ x 15" consisting of a title page and introduction leaf and 10 leaves of descriptive text to accompany each of the 10 plates of which one is a lithograph portrait of Commodore Perry from a daguerreotype by P. Haas 2 chromolithographs 7 lithographs printed in 2 colors on India paper and mounted as issued original pictorial wrappers with the title enclosed by 8 vignette scenes and an American eagle at the top the wrappers backed in blue cloth; the whole in the publisher's quarter green morocco lettered in gilt on upper cover; some soiling of the front wrapper and title page a little spotted but over all very good or better. Heine 1827-1885 was the official artist on Perry's expedition to Japan in 1853-54. The sketches he produced of the places he visited and the people he encountered there together with the daguerreotypes taken by his colleague Eliphalet Brown Jr. formed the basis of the official iconography of the American expedition to Japan which remains an important record of the country as it was before the foreigners arrived in force. Upon his return to New York in 1855 he published several books: a collection of prints entitled Graphic Scenes of the Japan Expedition; and the 400 sketches which were included in Perry's official report as well as his memoirs Reiss um die Welt nach Japan Leipzig 1856.

185642585New York: G.P. Putnam & Company 1856. Tinted lithograph on proof paper tipped onto a bristol board with glossy back as issued with additional hand colouring of figures accompanied by an original descriptive text leaf. A finely atmospheric view of the cemetery and temple precinct at Shimoda Japan one of Heine's most evocative images from Graphic Scenes of the Japan Expedition.<br/> <br/> This plate shows the graveyard at the temple rendered not as a topographical prospect alone but as a carefully staged nocturnal or dusk scene. The temple buildings occupy the middle ground their broad tiled roofs framed by dense trees stone lanterns and upright funerary monuments. Small figures move through the foreground paths and among the graves their pale clothing and touches of blue and pink hand-colouring heightening the stillness of the composition. Beyond the temple enclosure a luminous sky and distant hills open the view outward giving the scene a quiet theatricality characteristic of Heine's strongest expedition images. Shimoda had particular significance within the Perry expedition. Under the Treaty of Kanagawa signed in 1854 Japan opened Shimoda and Hakodate for American vessels seeking provisioning and refuelling and granted the United States the right to appoint consuls in those ports if deemed necessary. Heine's image therefore records a place newly charged with diplomatic meaning while its subject remains local and specific: a Buddhist temple cemetery with its stone markers lanterns pathways and hillside setting observed through the lens of a visiting Western artist. Wilhelm Heine was the official artist on Commodore Matthew C. Perry's expedition to Japan in 1853-54. On returning to the United States he produced several series of prints commemorating the trip. A group of six elephant-folio prints appeared in 1855 and the following year a second volume was issued in a smaller format with different images and with explanatory text.

185642599New York: G.P. Putnam & Company 1856. Tinted lithograph on proof paper tipped onto a bristol board with glossy back as issued with additional hand colouring. A quietly revealing image from Heine's Graphic Scenes of the Japan Expedition: the American encounter with the Ryukyu Islands in Japan where diplomacy observation and coastal movement preceded the better-known landings in Japan.<br/> <br/> This plate is one of the more understated images in Graphic Scenes of the Japan Expedition and that restraint is part of its appeal. Lew Chew was the period Western name for the Ryukyu Islands and On-Na corresponds to Onna on Okinawa. The scene shows a kung-kwa or village rest house set back behind a low wall and gate its tiled roof partly screened by trees. Heine gives the building a strong sense of place: the whitewashed wall shaded yard garden growth and open path all suggest a local administrative or stopping-place outside the more formal diplomatic centres of Naha and Shuri. In the foreground one figure sits with a portfolio or sketchbook while another stands nearby. Ryukyuan figures appear closer to the building absorbed into the architecture and enclosure of the scene. The print therefore records more than a picturesque stop on the route to Japan turning a coastal village structure into evidence of landscape architecture custom and access. Within the Perry visual record Kung-Kwa at On-Na is valuable precisely because it shifts attention from treaty ceremony to the quieter geography of the voyage. It places Okinawa within the wider American itinerary through the China Seas the Ryukyus and Japan and preserves a carefully observed view of a Ryukyuan public building at the moment when the islands were being drawn into the diplomatic and commercial mapping of the Pacific.
