EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Motono Ichiro, a prominent Japanese statesman and diplomat during the Meiji period. Taken in 1893 by renowned artist Eugene Pirou, this portrait showcases Viscount Motono's distinguished presence as he gazes away thoughtfully. Dressed in traditional Japanese attire, Motono exudes an air of authority and intellect. His beard adds to his dignified appearance, while his spectacles lend an intellectual aura to his persona. The Victorian-era jacket he wears hints at the influence of Western culture on Japan during that time. The monochrome aesthetic enhances the timeless quality of this image, transporting us back to a significant era in history. It is evident that Pirou skillfully captured not only Motono's physical features but also his character and stature as a politician. This particular print originates from the esteemed Felix Potin collection, known for its exquisite selection of historical photographs. As part of their extensive catalogue, it serves as a testament to their commitment to preserving important moments from different cultures around the world.
