EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a pivotal moment in the naval expedition led by Commodore Matthew C. Perry under the command of the United States Navy, as they ascended the Tabasco River at Devil's Bend on June 15, 1847. The image, produced around 1848, captures the essence of the historic event as American naval power asserted its presence in the Gulf of Mexico. Commodore Perry's mission was to open diplomatic relations with Japan, which had been isolated from the Western world for centuries. However, during the voyage to the Pacific, Perry's fleet encountered resistance from Mexican forces in the Tabasco region. In the image, we see the American ships, including the USS Mississippi and USS Saratoga, bravely navigating the treacherous waters of the Tabasco River, with the Devil's Bend in the background. The determination and resolve of the American sailors are palpable as they press forward against the current, demonstrating their unwavering commitment to achieving their objectives. The print offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a visual representation of the naval expedition that would ultimately lead to the signing of the Treaty of Kanagawa in 1854, marking the beginning of diplomatic and commercial relations between the United States and Japan. The image is a testament to the courage and tenacity of Commodore Perry and his crew, who overcame numerous challenges to make history.
