New York.: Ackerman. [1856.]. Tinted lithograph, 16 x 23.2 cm, 20.3 x 28.9 cm (sheet), margins age-toned, and very lightly spotted, but in very good condition. Attractive illustration prepared for Perry's "Narrative of the Expedition of an American Squadron to the China Seas and Japan..." of a Buddhist Temple in Ceylon (Sri Lanka). The men at bottom right are American sailors who were on Perry's Expedition (1852-54), a strategic voyage which changed the Japanese policy of the imposed isolation (sakoku) dramatically. .
