EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, titled 'English and Russian Burial-ground, at Nagasaki, secured by treaty, November 1855,' was published in the Illustrated London News in 1856. The photograph captures the serene atmosphere of a Christian cemetery in Nagasaki, Japan. Established under the terms of the Anglo-Russian Treaty of 1855, this burial ground served as a final resting place for foreigners, primarily British and Russian sailors and traders, who died in Nagasaki during the mid-19th century. The image reveals a tranquil scene of neatly arranged graves, each adorned with crosses, crucifixes, and engravings. The graves are surrounded by lush greenery, creating a stark contrast between the solemnity of death and the vitality of life. The presence of both English and Russian markers reflects the multicultural nature of the community in Nagasaki during this period. The photograph offers a glimpse into the religious practices and cultural exchange that took place between the East and the West during the late Edo period. It also underscores the significance of the treaty, which opened up Japan to increased foreign interaction and influenced the country's modernization process. The image, from the collection of The Print Collector, remains an important historical document, providing a visual record of a unique moment in the history of international relations and the spread of Christianity in Japan.
